The Clippers aren't afraid of the Lakers; they wanted to meet them early — Skip | NBA | UNDISPUTED

Of the six Western Conference teams that secured a playoff spot, the Los Angeles Clippers were the only ones to finish below .500 in the final 10 games of the season, including losses to the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder. This has led to speculation that the Clippers tanked down the stretch in order to avoid an early crosstown NBA playoff matchup with LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. However, one could argue that the Clippers should prefer to play them earlier rather than later in the playoffs while LeBron is rusty and could be 100 percent by June. Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe debate whether the Clippers tanked their last two games to avoid the Lakers in the first round. #Undisputed #NBA #LeBron #Clippers #Lakers #HoustonRockets #OKCThunder SUBSCRIBE to get the latest UNDISPUTED content: http://foxs.pt/SubscribeUNDISPUTED Listen to UNDISPUTED on Spotify: https://foxs.pt/UNDISPUTEDSpotify The all-new FOX Sports App, built for the modern sports fan: https://tinyurl.com/y4uouolb ►Watch the latest content from UNDISPUTED: https://foxs.pt/TheLatestOnUNDISPUTED ▶First Things First's YouTube channel: http://foxs.pt/SubscribeFIRSTTHINGSFIRST ▶The Herd with Colin Cowherd’s YouTube channel: http://foxs.pt/SubscribeTHEHERD ▶Speak for Yourself’s YouTube channel: http://foxs.pt/SubscribeSPEAKFORYOURSELF ►FOX Bet Live’s YouTube Channel: https://foxs.pt/SubscribeFOXBETLIVE ►Club Shay Shay’s YouTube Channel: http://foxs.pt/SubscribeCLUBSHAYSHAY ▶Titus & Tate's YouTube channel: http://foxs.pt/SubscribeTITUSANDTATE See more from UNDISPUTED: http://foxs.pt/UNDISPUTEDFoxSports Like UNDISPUTED on Facebook: http://foxs.pt/UNDISPUTEDFacebook Follow UNDISPUTED on Twitter: http://foxs.pt/UNDISPUTEDTwitter Follow UNDISPUTED on Instagram: http://foxs.pt/UNDISPUTEDInstagram Follow Skip Bayless on Twitter: http://foxs.pt/SkipBaylessTwitter Follow Shannon Sharpe on Twitter: http://foxs.pt/ShannonSharpeTwitter Follow Jenny Taft on Twitter: https://foxs.pt/JennyTaftTwitter About Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED: UNDISPUTED is a daily two-and-a-half hour sports debate show starring Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe.
