Tonight the Clippers beat Atlanta, 116-103. They will not surpass their franchise-record 20-game losing streak. Not this year, at least.
NBA Championship odds: Each team's chances of making the playoffs
AOL Sports, Nov 28 2017 10:53 AM
The Boston Celtics may have won 16 straight games already this season, but they're nowhere near the favorites to win the 2017-18 NBA Championship. Three teams -- the Celtics, Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors -- have more than a 99% chance to play in the postseason this year. Other near-guarantees include the San Antonio Spurs, Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors. After those powerhouses, the odds of teams making the playoffs, let alone winning the title, start to drop off significantly. At this point in the season, only seven teams have even a 1% chance of raising a championship banner.

Blake Griffin has a strained knee and could be out for two months. He is the fourth Clippers starter to be injured this season. Patrick Beverley last week had season-ending knee surgery, Milos Teodosic will be out at least another month with a foot injury and Danilo Gallinari is out with a strained glute.
Cheer up, Chicago Bulls fans -- the Clippers, currently 8-11, now have a good chance to replace the Bulls as this season's worst team.
I like the Celtics. They are the best team right now and I think they will be in the finals with the Warriors. But they did not look good tonight. They lost to Chicago by 23 points and Chicago is the worst team right now.
Kevin Durant did something really nice after last night's game. He took off his sneakers and signed his name on them and gave them to a young boy. The boy was so happy, he cried. ESPN showed the video and I also found it on their website. It is at www.espn.com/video/clip?id=21744906

Everybody thought Lonzo Ball was going to be as good as Kobe Bryant but he been just average. The Lakers are 11-25 and are in last place and will probably miss the playoffs again.
The Lakers scored the first ten points tonight and that was a good start but Oklahoma City wound up beating them by 37 points. That is their biggest loss of this season and they are just getting deeper in last place.
The Lakers just lost to the Hornets. It is their ninth loss in a row. Lonzo Ball's father said today that Lonzo's two brothers will also be playing for the Lakers in two years. Maybe that will happen but I do not think it will.
