The Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers in First Round Series

I'm not too bullish on the Clippers if they don't have Paul George, and that's with all due respect to the recent play of Russell Westbrook who's been very good for them. I think that they have been a group that's built for postseason success, but there's one thing that can take him out of it. And that's an absence of one of their two stars. It's going to be hard to put the Clippers as one of the favorites in this play in group to make some noise in first round series.
