Los Angeles Clippers and the risk of completely distorting the NBA season

They were between a rock and a hard place, on the edge of the abyss and already slipping towards the bottom, but Los Angeles Clippers have found a way to get back into the competition and have hopes that everything will change definitively in 2026. They have accumulated five consecutive victories when many were already calling for tanking, and Kawhi Leonard is performing at his best level.

Absolute drama, multi-organ failure, and more than solvent rumors regarding possible tanking, reconstruction, and trades. All of this has been blurred in the collective memory in just ten days, the time it took for Kawhi Leonard to reclaim his peak playing level and rejuvenate Los Angeles Clippers, who were more than on the brink. Five consecutive triumphs, against Lakers, Rockets, Blazers, Pistons, and Kings, have boosted the hopes of LA fans and the expectations of the whole team.

It's clear that if James Harden and Kawhi Leonard coincide with full motivation, form, and basketball acumen, they continue to form a duo that's hard to beat. Zubac's injury layoff was the definitive wake-up call for the squad to get down to business, and right now, they convey the feeling that they can compete for a playoff spot, but above all, that they want to. They are still 2.5 games behind the tenth-placed team in the Western Conference, but the trend has changed, and that seemed the most difficult part.
