They have never won a division title or gotten past the second round of the NBA playoffs. In the team's first season in San Diego, it posted a winning record, going 43-39 under new head coach Gene Shue. However, that record was not good enough to advance to the post-season, as it was two games out of the final playoff spot. As it turned out, it would be the Clippers' last winning season for 13 years. It was also in that first season in Southern California that long-time announcer Ralph Lawler began his association with the club. Randy Smith had another solid season, averaging 20.5 points per game, finishing second behind World B.
