Kaman and Camby are also half-court players, so they cannot complement Davis’s style. They also do not provide the interior defense the Clippers need to run anything in transition. Randolph has provided an offensive spark but plays poor defense.
Dunleavy is trying to mix water and oil with his team, so he made it extremely difficult to build any chemistry and find a suitable system that works for everyone. It’ll be interesting to see if the Clippers can develop any consistency to build upon for next season.
Other Really Dysfunctional Teams:
New York Knicks (9-11)
Blame: Front Office, Starbury
Despite trading away Randolph and Crawford, the team has been a surprise under D’Antoni’s offensive system, and could make the playoffs. Overshadowing the Knicks’ success is the Stephon Marbury and the inability of the front office to take care of business earlier.
Charlotte Bobcats (7-14)
Blame: System, Players, Front Office
This team is just really bad. Michael Jordan just can’t seem to find anything to work for this franchise, and Larry Brown isn’t doing much better. There isn’t that much talent on this roster either, so I’m not expecting the Bobcats to go anywhere for a very long time.
Minnesota Timberwolves (4-15)
Blame: Kevin McHale
Kevin McHale single-handedly destroyed this franchise with his Joe Smith fiasco. He left the Timberwolves with no talent to surround Kevin Garnett, and no talent for the future. Bad trades, bad draft picks, bad team.
Oklahoma City Thunder (2-20)
Blame: Everyone
The Thunder could be on its way to making history. The team is on pace to finish the regular season at 8-74, which would beat out the old worst record in NBA history set by the 1972-73 76ers at 9-73. Even OJ Mayo thought it was embarrassing to lose to this team, and Memphis is 6-15.
