The Clippers were on the verge of finally shedding the dubious reputation that has dogged them for decades only to lose in the second round of the playoffs for the third time in four years. Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan were within a game of leading the Clippers into the Western Conference finals for the first time in the franchise's 45-year history only to blow a 3-1 lead and lose the last three games by a combined 46 points to the Houston Rockets. The Clippers never led and trailed by 20 points, ending a season in which they finished 63-33 under second-year coach Doc Rivers. Expectations for the Clippers have risen dramatically in the last few years, especially since new owner Steve Ballmer took over this season.
