These are the reasons to consider the Los Angeles Clippers as a strong contender for the championship

The competitive edge is sharpening in Los Angeles Clippers, a team made up of special players who can go from zero to hero in the blink of an eye and rely on their intangible living genius in critical moments, having let go during the regular season. More and more analysts see the Angelinos as the key X factor in the Western Conference.

There are plenty of reasons, both in number and consistency. If Kawhi Leonard competes consistently again and arrives in playoff form, it is undeniable that any team with him can aim for everything. Add to that the magic and imbalance of James Harden, the rebound dominance exerted by Ivica Zubac whose impact on the game will grow in the postseason due to how those games are played, as well as a host of destabilizing role players who are capable of creating their own shots, such as Powell or Bogdanovic, the mix is explosive.

They have been one of the top defensive teams all season, currently ranking third in defensive rating in the entire NBA. If they can maintain that energy and add the offensive imbalance that Kawhi Leonard can bring, against whom opposing defenses will focus, freeing up shots for teammates, it is evident that Los Angeles Clippers can achieve significant things. They need to win many games to avoid the play-in, but they are on a positive streak that has brought back hope.
