Elephant graveyard. That's the feeling any fan gets when looking at the roster of Los Angeles Clippers. The convergence of illustrious names past their prime could lead to sporting issues, adding to the soap opera surrounding Kawhi Leonard. What happened in the first game of the season is unsettling for the Angelinos.

Multi-organ failure. That's the only way to describe what Los Angeles Clippers experienced in their first game of the new NBA season. There was anticipation to see how a roster overflowing with old glories would tactically fit together, but facing a 43-19 deficit in the first quarter against a team like the Utah Jazz was a rude awakening for the fans of the Angelino team. Kawhi Leonard seems distracted and worried about his off-court drama, which could cause severe problems for the franchise.

Furthermore, witnessing the unstoppable decline of Bradley Beal adds to the perplexity in a team where only Zubac and Harden showed somewhat promising performances. In any case, serious defensive issues, lack of offensive synergy, sluggish movements from all the veterans, and the absence of a clear rotation to accommodate everyone suggest that Los Angeles Clippers could be heading towards a disastrous season if drastic improvements are not made.
