Paul George says the Clippers are lacking an identity right now

On Sunday, the Clippers lost 110-93 at home to the Atlanta Hawks. It’s their fourth loss in their last five games. LA is in danger of losing the 4th seed in the Western Conference. They have just a one-game lead over the New Orleans Pelicans. With the loss on Sunday, the Clippers are now 42-25 this season. 

The team still has 15 games left in the regular season to try and get back on track. Earlier this season, the team was on a dominant stretch but they’ve lost that in recent weeks. After the loss to the Hawks, Paul George said the team is lacking an identity right now. That’s something the team needs to change with playoffs just around the corner.

What can the Clippers do to get back on track for their final 15 games of the 2023-24 season?

Kawhi Leonard postgame: “We didn’t really give all the effort that we could have gave.”

That’s the difference between home-court advantage in a playoff series or dropping to the fifth seed. Paul George said he is optimistic about the Clippers’ chances this postseason. He’s seen just how dominant they can be. All the team needs to do is…
