Why The LA Clippers Should Be Your Favorites

The Los Angeles Clippers have made a complete 180 after a month into the James Harden experiment they started off being 4- seven ended up being 79 overall and ended up being 11th in the Western Conference there were a lot of conversations about how this Trio of Kawhi Leonard Paul Jordan and James

Harden just wasn’t working out and this was going to lead to just another expected first round or second round exit for a Los Angeles team that undoubtedly for the last couple of years have been pretty much a disappointment in terms of where they were going to end

Up because as we know this team was hyped up to be a team that was going to eventually win a championship well since these last few weeks since dating back to November 17 the Los Angeles Clippers are actually now 22-6 and if we even shorten that to the last 20 games the

Los Angeles Clippers are now 17 and3 and the three losses that they played Kanan Leonard didn’t even play two of those games they have made a complete jump from what they were in the first month with James Harden to since November 17 this team has been easily playing like

The best team in the NBA having the second best net rating dating back to November 29th and the best offensive rating in the NBA this team has been just destroying other NBA teams their offense is just completely Unstoppable their defense is and stellar and that has to start with the three stars in

James Harden Kawhi Leonard and Paul George what’s changed because a month into this James Harder experiment people already talking about how this was a terrible trade for them but now they’re arguably the best team in the NBA this big three all three of them are having their most efficient seasons in their

NBA career so right now all three of them are playing very very well and they’ve jelled really quickly early on and they started off really bad but now they’re just rolling they’re looking like honestly the best big three in the NBA so what were one of the changes well

One of the biggest changes I think everybody knows was they swapped Russell Westbrook from the starting lineup for Terence man and the reason why this was such a big change and I feel like this needs to be brought up was because now James Harden would have to be the

Primary orchestrator of the offense the problem with Russell Westbrook being in the starting lineup with James Harden is they both are more effective when they have the ball their orchestrating the offense wuss Westbrook as a starter or as the primary PG is really good with the Los Angeles Clippers but when you

Add James Harden now into the team now it’s you they have to share the ball a little bit but you also still have Kawhi Leonard on the court you still have Paul George on the court so to instead maximize both of their talents one of

Them had to go to the bench and tyou decided that Russell Westbrook would have to go to the bench and Harden would have the full reign of the offense and we’re just seeing what they’re doing because they’re just destroying other NBA teams and it isn’t like they’re

Playing bottom feeder teams no they play the Phoenix Suns the New York Knicks the Dallas Mavericks the Pelicans they’ve played some really really good teams in the NBA the Minnesota timble some of the top teams in the NBA and they’re still steamrolling through a lot of these

Teams and look at James Harden since he’s arrived on his team he’s averaging 17 points eight and a half assists 4.7 rebounds but shooting 46% from the field 42% from three on about six attempts 65% true shooting percentage re ridiculous efficiency from James Harden

And it isn’t like he has the ball a lot either yes he has the ball more than the other players on the team but he isn’t dominating the ball like he used to in the Houston Rockets he’s running the offense primarily through that pick and roll and setting up a lot of his

Teammates like kawh Leonard Paul George through a lot of Spain actions a lot of double drag pick and rolls and other sets like that one of the biggest things that’s always brought up with this Clippers roster dating back to 2020 when they first paired up Paul George and

Kawh Leonard was about them being flawed initiators in a sense right that they need a point guard that’s why they went out and got rajjan Rondo that’s why they went out and eventually got Russell Westbrook to be that mediator in between those two to be have one guy to be able

To set them up well as we know James ha is one of the best initiators in the NBA even still now and arguably because of what he’s done and his contribution and being able to set up Paul George and kawhai Leonard they’re both having their most efficient seasons in the NBA

They’re both shooting ridiculous percentage from the three and they both have a career high in true shooting percentage because Harden is able to deliver it to them in their best spots scoring is all about Rhythm Harden helps them be able to get to their spots easier and because of that I think it’s

Why the l Angeles Clippers have just made a complete 180 over this last stretch of games and they’ve been the best team in the NBA in my opinion kawhai Leonard is having one of his most healthier Seasons so far into his career he’s played the last 34 or 38 possible

Games so Kanan Leonard has been having his healthiest season in a long time and he’s performing very very well as we know Kawhi London had one of the craziest 13 game stretches where he was the first player in NBA history to shoot 60% from the field 50% from the

Three-point range and 90% from the free throw line over a 13 game span just a complete dominance of show from the isolation as a score and just incredible efficiency despite the level of volume kawh Leonard as we know is still a superstar and as as we know is having an

MVP caliber level of season now that he’s having the games played be as well I’m not going to I’m not advocating for him to be an MVP but he’s playing like one undoubtedly and this has to be mentioned because as we know K Leonard is very injury-prone that’s been one of

The biggest issues about the Los Angeles Clippers over the past couple of years is kawi Leonard is he going to be healthy enough to be able to play in the postseason not just the regular season cuz as we know that’s been an issue for kawh Leonard dating back all the way

Back to his last couple of years on the San Antonio Spurs that’s been an issue with kaan Leonard the biggest thing will be can he be healthy come postseason time because the questions about kaan Leonard has never been about his game because he’s still arguably the best

Scorer in the NBA still one hell of a Defender still a very good initiator and that’s good enough to put you arguably as a top five player in the NBA so the things about kawh lard questioning him hasn’t been no issues honestly some of those questions have been about Paul

George play because he also has injuries as well but his play recently has been kind of crazy as well he’s been playing like a complete off ball Maestro I remember when Doc Rivers was talking about Paul George being a Ray Allen type and I’m not going to he Advocate that

He’s been that completely but his off ball play has been very excellent next to James Harden and he still gets his pick and roll chops as well but his ability to run around off ball screens and Cat the ball and be able to go create his own shot has been one of the

Best things that’s happened to this Los Angeles Clippers offense because these three and I’m specifically talking about the trio have very very different skill sets but they work so well next to each other you have James Harden who still has his scoring chops and being able to

Hit step back threes and create his own shot in that fashion but he’s going to be mostly creating shots for others such as Paul George and kawh Leonard and set them up you have kawh Leonard who’s that dominant isolation score who’s going to be able to get his buckets in a vast

Many different ways y Paul George who’s more of that off ball scorer who’s going to be scoring coming off the catches and on on the Move now and still be able to get his stuff in the pick and roll very very different skill sets from all three

Of them across the board very different creation skills from all three of them that just work so well and because I think they’re so different and how they be able to put the ball in the basket and be able to create for others I think that’s the reason why they’ve been so

Good despite their death being very very good because I have to mention that as well I have to talk about Russell Westbrook who’s sacrificed for this team coming off the bench because him as a starter on the Los Angeles Clippers before James Harden got there he’s been

Playing very well but he decided to come off the bench for the betterment of the team and of course we’re seeing how good they’ve been honestly the only real issue with this team and the only real issue that we’ve always had with this team is health because just their play

Just how this team plays right now I don’t see much of any team really beating them come postseason time because they’ve been that good I just don’t see a defense that can really stop this team and be able to hinder them because they just have way too many

Weapons that you have to deal with even outside of the big three because the big three are going to create so many mismatches for themselves that you have to deal with and then you still got to deal with the other pieces that’s on this team it is just way too crazy and

I’m not going to lie I was a disbelief of this fit at first but man they have made me have to completely change my viewpoint watching them because honestly I didn’t think they’d work this well I didn’t think they’d work this well this soon either because after that start I

Thought hey this is what’s expected and then since how they’ve been playing since November 17 yeah I don’t think there’s a team in the NBA that’s better at the current moment and honestly there might not be a team better come postseason time so let me know down in

The comment section below what you guys think and just let me know if you guys think this Los Angeles Clipper team at this current moment can win an NBA championship because at the end of the day that’s the biggest goal for this group that’s why they brought in Kawhi

Leonard and Paul George and eventually traded for James Harden because at the end of the day they want to win a championship will they’ll be healthy enough for that to happen is still to be hold but at the current moment for the sake of the argument let’s say they are

Healthy let me know in the comment section below can this team at as they are win a championship let me know that down in the comment section below and before you guys leave make sure you like subscribe hit that post notification Bell to always be notified whenever I
