And wait, it gets worse, when you compare Ibaka's importance to the team's big rotation:

Without their big-time big off the bench, the Clippers' fortunes have taken another hit, or so it would seem. Heading into Dallas for Game 3 tonight, it's a must-win for LA Basketball's running punch-line.
Oh well, the good news for the Clippers? At least they can't blow a 3-1 series lead this time around.
