He won’t all the morons saying he should retire from basketball, and he’s nothing but injured only had to do a little research and see his first knee surgery was a failure and the donor tissue did not seat properly. But because he’s actually a beast, he tried to play through it for three years. Turns out the best thing that ever happened with him, blowing his knee out a second time. He played with knee instability, and because the timing of the first injury never got to properly heal it .
I believe they will. Was just talking to my brother about it. It’s now been proven load management did the opposite of keeping players healthy! Giving players rest and then throwing them into the fire and expecting them to not get injured is non sense! If they’re constantly functioning at a high rate then they’re body is going to be used to it. Meaning they’re less likely to be injured. If you give them 6 days off after an intense game, then throw them into another intense game after giving their body’s a little too much time to rest, they’re going to get injured! These athletes are meant to be functioning at insane rates. That’s what they’ve trained their whole lives for… I personally am 95% confident in them staying healthy. And if they don’t I can only see minor injuries happening that take them out 5 games max. Boy season ending injuries.
Denver needs another star if they want to B2B but I do think they gonna shuffle their players well so they can compete against multiple stars team like the Clippers, Suns and Celtics. Honestly, it would be amazing to see if Nuggets can beat this teams in the playoffs which is extremely difficult.
The reason why Kawhi Leonard wasn't named an all-star starter is because the all-star roster is just based off of a popularity contest and Leonard only tries to play great basketball and doesn't care about being flashy.
@@lawrenceobeng-hp2fh yes but again, ASG is not about your game being nice. if it's just off of that at least 40% of the people in ASG rn would be GONE. it's a popularity contest.
@@lawrenceobeng-hp2fh Yes Kawhi is great to watch. He is so smooth and efficient. Never panics when he's pressured and always seems to make the right decision. Kawhi is the best 2 way player in the NBA. But the only reason I can think he doesn't start the all star game is he's not flashy with dunks, no look passes and silly celebrations. Also he's not bothered about stats. If the Clippers are up by 20 he will sit out the whole 4th quarter while other players will stay in the game to stat pad cough cough LeBron.
The Clippers team is what every coach or GM dreams of. TWO of the best Offensive -defensive WINGS paired with 2 of the Greatest PGS that know their roles. They don't have ball hogging dominant players forcing plays. PG and Kawhi have proven to play their best basketball when they have a point gaurd making the plays for them like Lowry for KAWHI and Russ for PG in OKC. The Clippers remind me of the SPURS, where its just perfect team basketball, with everybody focused on TEAM performance and not individual performance. And Kawhi being the TIM DUNCAN in this team...somebody you can rely on in crunch time when you need a buckets
The team is bottom 10 in the league in assists according to the NBA. Just look it up lol. The thing is they have a great coach and Russ isnt allowed to be in the starting lineup.
@@smoothsavage2870 They also are the number one team in ISO, obviously they don't share the ball that much, but when they do they are very effective and play like a very well coached team
Russ doesn't look like he's regressed this season at all. It's like having oscar robertson coming off your bench at all times. And he can score at will low key. I'd say coffey is a perfect example of a modern guard.
@dunktimetm6216 I personally they can take the bucks and the celtics. Honestly, the bucks were better last year. That OG trade really helped with one of the weaknesses which is outside shooting. Rj was too inconsistent and wasn't a solid defender like OG. Divincenzo was also a great pick up as well. Dude like a more athletic JJ Redick
Not a Clippers fan but they're a joy to watch especially how they started after the Harden trade. Like everyone writing their season off just because of Harden's statement of him being the system.
I was wrong about the Harden trade and I'm glad to see that I was wrong. It's crazy just how well they've been working together and I'm really rooting for them.
Not to mention Ty Lue as Coach of the year. Russel and Harden had terrible success in Houston. Yes, he has 3 superstars, but Harden and Russel in their later NBA careers outside of the clippers seemed too ball dominant. To get these guys to buy-into their team schema is a challenge even Doc Rivers cannot do.
MVP is about individual stats, although he is very valueble his stats don't reflect that because he plays with 2 stars and he shares the ball. unlike MJ, LBJ, shaq... there aren't many players that won MVP on a team with multiple good players.
@dunktimetm6216 a player like luka or embiid will probally get the MVP over a player like kawhi because in kawhi's case it's easy to say "he had succes because he plays with a lot better players". a player that plays alone like lebron in his Cav mvp days did it all alone so his mvp was a lot more praised since he showed he was valueble by being the only star on his team. Kawhi is putting up all-star number on amazing efficiency but with the talent the league has today its just not enough. You have a good opinion though
@JesseDergent, you know what's even more impressive than being an MVP? Rising above other MVPs on your team. Take Tim Duncan, for example; he's an MVP, and yet Kawhi Leonard has risen to surpass him in MVP status. What truly defines an MVP is their ability to excel amidst other MVPs. Imagine putting Kawhi alongside Embiid and Luka on the same team; Kawhi would undoubtedly stand out among them. Even Luka acknowledges it, saying, 'Kawhi destroys us
Also it would be amazing if KAWHI wins MVP with HARDEN and RUSS as his teamates... as both times KAWHI was in top 3 MVP voting, he lost it to Russ and Harden
Thanks - Luka will get his chips in due time, no doubt. It's something of an honor for the Clippers to be the team that gave him his great early tests and hard lessons; experience that will steel his determination later. Not unlike early Jordan vs Detroit or Boston.
I lived in Toronto, so I surely know how well Kawhi can play when he is healthy. Even though I love Jokic's play so much, I could say a healthy Kawhi can beat any team in a 7-game series with his current team
@@laz0ramaya he was still pretty much load managing then woke up for the playoffs and now this season he’s been good at everything while being relatively healthy
Man Russ deserves this! I’m rooting for him and PG13. If Russ wins one, I think he would definitely be considered without a doubt one of the best point guards of all time! Especially for him sacrificing the way he does and has done this season. His ring is long overdue. I really hope the Clippers can stay healthy.
Hardens teammates often have career years offensively. KD has his most efficient year with harden Kyrie has his best shooting year 50/40/90. Bruce brown has his best 3 point shooting year(40%), EMbiid had his best most efficient year play ing with harden. Now Kawi is having his most efficient shooting year and PG is having his bet 3pt accuracy year, Zubac a career year, it goes on an on. These are all great players who have set personal benchmarks playing with harden setting the table for them. If harden can get easy shots for his teammates when the times get tough and they have to make shots and play tough D late in game they have that extra energy. WIth two top two way players, the clippers can get stops as they score. I have notice they get little attention from the media who are infatuated with lakers knicks celtics etc. But the media doesnt get to decide who wins a chip. If they are all healthy including Zu, they are going to be a nightmare int he playoffs.
@@Christopher._M most efficient from 3 45% at that time wince he has surpassed that. Lyrie has his forst 50/40/90 season. Maxey had his best 3 pt shooting season with harden and his best FG% season. Yeah he scored 4ppg less than this year as he took 5 fewer shots this year.
Norman and Coffey are so reliable, then they have Mann who can step up, really deep team. Only thing can defeat them is the injury bug, hopefully not happening.
It’s hilarious now that everyone is acting like they knew the clips were gonna be amazing. KL is not injury prone. he had a bad ligament transplant and has been playing on an unstable knee. They tried to repair it the first tear and it got worse. But he ripped the ligament off the bone the second time and had a full season to recover… and I have the clips winning the championship with 30-1 odds because I never listen to the Talking Heads who said he should retire…
I remember you giving love to Norm when he was on the Raptors n was one of the reasons I became a fan of yours n his, happy he's doing well with the Clips. Excited to see this team go deep in the playoffs barring injury
The key to any contender is their road record. Since starting 0-6 and having to re-shuffle, they've gone *15-5* ....including blowout Ws in Boston, PHX, Indy and NOLA. ...and the Clippers - these "Vagabond Contenders" - don't really have a true "Home" until the IntuitDome opens next season, but they are *19-4 at Crypto* nevertheless.
I think the clips has a shot to win it all this season if they keep their core healthy come playoffs. They are playing so good and efficient right now.
Bro super dig ANOTHER CLIPPER VID and background music 🔥 They are playing beautiful basketball right now. Now you are feeling me on “all time great” Great vid
Key word, building. They didnt just throw superstars together. At first they did but when results didnt meet expectations, they kept at it. Built around them, their strengths and weaknesses and let the unit gel and learn to play together. Rhythm, chemisty, playstyles, all these things are factors when we talk about a championship team.
Haven't watched the full video so idk if you mention him but you didn't mention Coffey when talking about bench depth, he's been shooting amazing and plays decent defense too. We have 4 solid bench players, and 3 stars plus a great big in zu when paired with Harden in the PNR and Mann started slow but has been shooting great and playing g good D. This team is so damn deep
People seem to believe for absolutely NO reason that what you see in the regular season, is what you gonna get in the play offs. If that was the case, the Clippers should have 4 NBA titles by now.
Man after kahwi’s injury in 2020, people forgot he existed. You gotta remember, he got a ring on his first year on the raptors, against the Golden state dynasty.
Wait for the playoffs. You have Harden who disappears, PG who chokes or gets injured, and Kawhi who is pretty much injured all the time. Even in Toronto he was injured.
I can understand why Kawhi wasn't an all star starter, since PG was their best player until a few weeks ago when he started dealing with his groin stuff, but that's what makes the clippers so insane. The luxury of having Kawhi Leonard and Paul George on the same court on both ends is wild, especially when they have two players who have both won assist and scoring titles on the roster. Not to mention that they're the first superteam with actual depth. Both Kawhi and PG could easily be making all defensive and all NBA teams when it's said and done
Awesome video and breakdown man! 🔥 Clippers are definitely slept on, but I think they can use that in their advantage. Let the lights continue to be on lebron/lakers and the rest of the league 😈
Russ is actually an offensive liability, if he doesn't stop jacking up shots for no reason. That's gonna cost the Clippers. Powell should be their go to bench scorer
He’s played less minutes and has out scored the starters. wtf are you talking about? 😂 you’re not watching games. Aldi NP is not as good on defender, play making, and rebounding the ball
Clips fan here. I'm super glad seeing how this team has bounced back from a horrible start. but I won't be cashing in my chips yet: the Wolves and the Nuggets are still extremely strong, and Jokic is still the most important player in the West (Kawhi is a close 2nd). I also fear that OKC can pull off an upset or two. What helps is that the Clips will surely have a chip on their shoulder against Denver and Phoenix, so complacency won't be an issue. just gotta stay healthy
daniel theis has been alright for the clippers off the bench, but players like terance mann and amir coffey have absolutely had more of an impact than theis. they're two of the highest end role players in the league, both capable of hitting spot up 3s, slashing, cutting and playing really reliable defense.
It all comes down to Kawhi, not the Beard, not PG13, not Westbrook. The main driving force imo is Kawhi. If he can stay healthy, then they have a legit shot of winning it all.
PG and harden no show on play offs unlike the spurs and the raps on kawhi’s championship run and also these guys were also their own go to guy in their old teams lmao
Most super teams don’t work because they stack superstars for the sake of stacking superstars, they don’t take into consideration their compatibility and fit
Man, I'm praying day and night for all of those guys to stay healthy
He won’t all the morons saying he should retire from basketball, and he’s nothing but injured only had to do a little research and see his first knee surgery was a failure and the donor tissue did not seat properly.

Kawhi look like his prime self again after he stopped managing his invisible load
Right?
3 elite wing defenders. Russ too.
Im praying to god they still healthy and win a ring, pg 13, russ and the beard
3 superstars? 4! Westbrook!
one injury will derail this team
5 of their most important players are also locals from California
Local legend
Nice breakdown and well put together video 🔥
talk NBA with an Australian accent ? i subscribe
The Clippers have a history of choking - let’s not get too ahead of ourselves.
yeah thats what people are hoping for lol
It all comes down to Kawhi, not the Beard, not PG13, not Westbrook. The main driving force imo is Kawhi. If he can stay healthy, then they have a legit shot of winning it all.
Using russ in the right manner is super important
What they’re doing now is insane, but I’m curious to see if it’ll continue into the playoffs
i really want this team to win
it's now or never for the clippers, go get your rings boys! 🔥🔥🔥
Ohhhhh so now the clippers are a super team…. 😂
thank you so much for this video, let's go CLIPPERS
It’s the injury history that has me feeling skeptical
I think they are destined to have a healthy run they been playing most of the games now unlike in the last 5 years
@@dxtremecaliber healthy they are a definite threat
PG and harden no show on play offs unlike the spurs and the raps on kawhi’s championship run and also these guys were also their own go to guy in their old teams lmao
who wouldve thought that the MVP of the one of the most impressive playoffs run is a threat.
I feel like they’ll still find a way to mess it up in the post season
I really think the fans notice how good Kawhi is the NBA themselves try to hide the fact how good he is so strange
You didn’t even mention the Harden-Zubac pick and roll, deadly
Most super teams don’t work because they stack superstars for the sake of stacking superstars, they don’t take into consideration their compatibility and fit
I said it before and I'll say it again, Kawhi always reminded me of #45 Jordan or wizards version.
Clippers fan since the 90s. Just give us one title. I’ll be happy. Just he did for Toronto raptors.
Can we talk about Amir Coffey and Terrence Mann? great role players this season
A long hard road undoing the harm Donald Sterling’s did to this team. Thank you 6Man!
