The Los Angeles Clippers suffered through another season of injuries and disappointment in 2008-2009.
However, with a healthy crop of veterans, some battle-tested young players and the #1 pick of this year's draft, Los Angeles Clippers tickets could become a hot ticket at Staples.
Blake Griffin was projected by everyone to be the #1 player in this year's draft, and his impact could be immediate.
However, if he does need some time, there are quite a bit of talent surrounding him to take the pressure off.
Brought in last year, both Marcus Camby and Baron Davis were meant to be veterans willing to show the young guys how to win.
Both were quickly injured and the team's record quickly went south.
Both are healthy now, so Davis will look to return as one of the best combo guards in the NBA, while Camby patrols the inside.
With all the injuries, Al Thornton and Eric Gordon got some considerable playing time as young players.
Both are explosive wing players capable of scoring 15-20 points on any night.
They are two wild cards who will have to play well in different roles this year to succeed.
The one thing the Clippers have that will help them in the Western Conference is size.
With Camby, Chris Kahman, Craigs Smith and DeAndre Jordan, Los Angeles' other team can defend the bigs in the Western Conference.
When you talk about weaknesses, it pretty much begins and ends with injury troubles.
Will this team finally stay healthy? Who knows really, but if they can, the team could be a playoff contender.
Los Angeles Clippers tickets have never been the hottest commodity, but a plethora of young talent plus a couple of talented veterans could get playoff buzz surrounding their side of the Staples Center.
If nothing else, they will be showcasing the #1 rookie each night as well.
