| (MySportsbook) - This was going to be the year the Los Angeles Clippers got over the hump and qualified for the postseason. The deal that sent Darius Miles to Cleveland in exchange for Andre Miller was going to be the missing link.

Miller averaged 16.5 points and a league-best 10.9 assists last season. This season, Miller is averaging 14.5 points and 7.2 assis |
