#1 Lack of depth
"Lob-City" has dramatically changed over the years. The Chris Paul trade was monumental seven years ago, especially for creating depth in the team and a winning culture, since they made the playoffs regularly. From then on, they have worked in continuously improving the roster to try to achieve the ultimate stage with almost no success.
Usually, most teams ensure that if their roster is lacking in certain skills and a general depth, they counteract it with an All-Star of a super high-functioning first five. In this case, the Clippers have no All-Star players or even those who seem to have the potential.
Though players like Williams and Harris stand head and shoulders above their teammates and might make it to the All-Star Game thi, it's just will not be enough for the postseason.
Further, with this team, injuries amongst very helpful players such as Patrick Beverley, Montrezl Harrell, and Avery Bradly are always a concern. Further, none of these or the other players on the roster can match what DeAndre Jordan did for the team and a mix of average talents will not cover for that loss.
Again, injuries and team chemistry are extremely important to watch through the season and postseason. So there always is a small possibility that the Clippers might make it to the playoffs, but probably as the last seed.
