Will the Clippers make the playoffs?

This road trip has been a nightmare for them, losing to Nets and getting blown out by Cavs and Thunder. Now Griffin is out and they're starting Hawes. They have a 5.5 game lead over the Pelicans right now who are dealing with their own injury and 6.5 ahead of the Thunder so there is a cushion for now but we should keep a close look on them. Thoughts?

I hope they don't. I think watching a first round series involving the Suns/Pelicans would be more entertaining.

Depends how long Griffin is out with that Staph infection in his elbow. If 10 days like Clippers are hoping, they will be fine and likely a #5-8 seed. If it's closer to the 4-6 weeks the doctors are suggesting, they could be done and on the outside looking in.
