The Clippers are one of five teams that Marty Burns of SI.com has tabbed as title contenders who are not getting a lot of attention.  

It is interesting that a team as young and loaded as the Clippers were basically picked to finish about the same or worse in the Western Conference by the vast consensus of the national media.  Interesting, but not surprising, since no one expected Phoenix, Dallas and San Antonio, the three teams ahead of the Clippers last season, to have a drop off.

With the early season struggles of the Suns and Mavs, the Clippers are all over the radar now.
