The 2003-04 Los Angeles Clippers struggled to make an impact in the NBA, finishing the season with a 28-54 record. Under the leadership of head coach Mike Dunleavy Sr., the team placed seventh in the Pacific Division and failed to secure a playoff spot, extending their postseason drought.
Despite the team’s overall disappointing performance, there were some bright spots. Elton Brand, the standout forward, averaged 20 points and 10.3 rebounds per game, demonstrating consistency and skill. Corey Maggette also contributed significantly, averaging 20.7 points per game. However, the Clippers lacked depth and struggled with injuries, which hindered their ability to compete against stronger teams.
The Clippers’ season was marked by inconsistency and missed opportunities, emphasizing the need for strategic changes and roster enhancements to become competitive in future seasons. The team hoped to build on their individual talents and develop a more cohesive unit moving forward.
