The Clippers have a slew of future Hall of Famers. And at 5-16, they have a slew of problems

MIAMI -- Chris Paul is going to the Hall of Fame in a few years. James Harden is headed there as well. Kawhi Leonard seems another lock to get the call, and it shouldn't be a surprise if coach Tyronn Lue does one day, too. The Los Angeles Clippers have a lot of big names. They also have a lot of big problems. A largely lackluster 140-123 loss Monday night in Miami dropped the Clippers, generally considered a championship contender entering the season, to 5-16. Yes, Bradley Beal is hurt and lost for the season. Yes, the team is old — as in oldest-team-in-NBA-history old. But the Western Conference is already getting away from the Clippers, who are ahead of only New Orleans on that side of the standings. “Everybody wants to get a win,” Leonard said. “And we're not finding one at the moment.”
