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

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

Absolute drama, multi-organ failure, and more than credible 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 top game and revive Los Angeles Clippers, who were more than lifeless. Five consecutive triumphs, against Lakers, Rockets, Blazers, Pistons, and Kings, have boosted the hopes of Los Angeles fans and the expectations of the entire team.

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