Clippers tried to play 5D Chess, wether it was on purpose or not.
- probably ending up with Portland (they always did well vs. them)
- making sure no Lakers - Clippers 1st round
- forcing Denver in a must lose situation unless they want to play the Lakers, which automatically puts Lakers into play in.
They basically make sure Lakers going to have to play in the play in by their tank. And tried to avoid them. Also in the end who knows, if it isn't much better to play the Lakers early on. If they struggle in the 1st round or play in, and play much better later on, the Clippers screwed themselves in epic fashion.
