They are 8-2 last 10 games and have won 7 straight. Currently 5th seed and only 2 games from 2nd seed. PG and Kawhi Leonard have been healthy.
Lakers 8th
Suns 10th
Warriors 11th
They're looking good! Somehow Kawhi hasn't missed a game! And cutting Westbrook's minutes was a good idea.
Why'd they bench PJ Tucker? I know he's worthless and 38 but that's Harden's boy!

I will put myself out there as a complete nonbeliever. I don't think their stars will stay healthy (hope I'm wrong here) and don't believe in them vs elite teams. Although Phoenix may be just as screwed when it comes to health, situation with Beal had been rough and KD is likely to miss 20+ games.

I am hoping the Celtics can get him cheap. Worth a second round pick to throw him at Giannis for 15 minutes per game in a series.

Kawhi has played all season every game which hasn't happened in a decade.

Yeah, I was actually going to make a thread about this, but now I don't need to. Clips have been climbing the rankings, beating good teams, and looking good.
They've even been winning when Paul George is out.
But every year they find a way to throw it all away, so I'm not very optimistic just yet.

Clips are always good when healthy.
And once they moved Westbrook to the bench and he was fine with that role, they neutered his cancer-effect.
Thats a luxury the Lakers didnt have.
And Harden isnt washed so he was never gonna be a net negative.

They got decent roll players in Norman Powell, Zubac, Hyland too. Looks like Harden is fitting in and taking some load off PG and Kawhi thus them not being injured. Harden has Kawhi, PG, Zubac to mask his defence deficiency.

Nobody has been sleeping on them. There just hasn't been anything to talk about until Westbrook went to the bench.

Lue has an obsession with taking contributing roleplayers and shoving them in a permanent doghouse. Covington last year, Tucker and Hyland this year. I hate to see Tucker's last years become DNP galore.

Funny enough, Harden was actually quite good on D in the Warriors game.

Kawhi leapard is playing within himself , finding some cred with Harden
Problem is they have shelved PG and Westbrick who will carry them any where farther past the first round other than Harden (playoff choker)
Just think it will be a nice bank roll for the season , and disaster in the playoffs:oldlol::oldlol::oldlol:

People really thought James Harden couldn't play basketball anymore. He's one of the best offensive players of all time lol. Seems he's become a little underrated.
Clippers are starting to look like threats. I don't like it.
Meh. They'll be exposed come playoff time.
