Why are the Clippers so bad?

Hey guys - I'm a raptors fan, but am so puzzled with the Clippers record that I thought I would consult some people who watch all their games.

So how are these guys so bad?

They just seem loaded with talent - IMO.

Is it all because BD is shooting 35%? That is soooo bad. And to still score almost 16 ppg at that percentage means he is talking a boat load of low percentage shots. He probably hurts his team more than any other player in the league this year.

What do you guys think the Clippers should do - do all the fans want BD gone? Is everyone calling for Dunleavy's head?

1) Injuries.
We've hardly had a full roster this year. Guys like Kaman, Randolph, Camby, Davis and others have missed a significant amount of games, or are stil out.

2) Davis hasn't played all that well, but has gotten a little better during those last couple games, when he's going to the hoop, instead of settling for jumpers.

3) Yes, many of us want Dunleavy gone ASAP, but i don't think Sterling will get rid of him.

I recorded the Bobcats game and watched it last night....Man, were they horrible on defense.
Yes they were 5 or 6 games deep on a roadtrip but come on. The game was there for the taking but LA missed a bunch of jumpshots, layups and FREEthrows.

Injuries are not a legit reason, because they were playing even worse when they had a full squad...

IMO, 1) Dumbleavy, 2) Dumbleavy, 3) Defense

I say injuries, inconsistent play, lack of chemistry, and of course our coach. Dunleavy isn't utilizing our players to their strengths.
