The real question is the playoffs, where Harden is next to useless and where PG and Kawhi frequently get injured. The Clippers are a contender but they are not favorites, I don't expect them to be a final four team.

Rationale? You must be new to realgm.

If you're a fan of the game, the Clips, or any of their main players - you can feel that amped energy watching this.

Turns out trading role players for James Harden is smart

Lakers with Lebron, AD, Westbrook, Dwight, Rondo

Great run, but nowhere near their capacity yet. This is a bunch of superstars that are actually changing the way they play right before our eyes, styles that worked for them in the past. Nobody knows what this finished product will look like.

The Clippers still need to make moves though. Kawhi can only go so long playing the PF position. Clips gave up unnecessary assets to get Harden, such as either NiCo or RoCo and now they need to address that gap asap to be truly competitive.

Also, now they are back in the fray, they should consider putting on the brakes with some minor load-managing.

They will be getting Plumlee back soon.

They will have Plumlee and Theis as back up bigs.

2003-4 Lakers vs 2023-4 Clippers

Shaq, Kobe, Payton, Malone, HGrant

Kawhi, PG13, Westbrook, JHarden

This is not fair lol 3 Guys that can legitimately say they were the best but at worse top 3 guys are their positions

3 MVPs vs 2 MVPs... but your MVPs are harden and westbrook vs Kobe Shaq and Malone

The big 3s -
-wilt-Shaq-Hakeem
-Kobe-MJ-Wade
-Duncan-wemby- Malone

Vs wtf are we doing again -

Naw this Clippers team in their prime would be amazing but it may not beat the heat with Wade Lebron and bosh——

Yeah really showcases difference between someone like Kawhi/Durant vs Lebron. Kawhi allows other players still have their own game while he puts up his stats. Lebron is totally incapable of not diminishing other stars on his teams.

If it was 5 years ago this would be up there with the greatest rosters in history. Right now it's debatable if they have the most talented team in the nba but I'd give the celtics the edge. Nevertheless clippers been impressive lately and are dangerous if they stay healthy.

Crazy how that works, yet this team is going to end up with 0 titles.

This team reminds me a bit of the Kyrie-Durant-Harden Nets. They can be really explosive and scary at times but will likely break down health wise or team turmoil wise before they can win 4 playoff series in a row.

Celtics have a squad, but pound for pound the Clippers are the most talented roster in the NBA.

Healthy Kawhi/PG is just as good as Tatum/Brown if not better. The key will be them both staying healthy. So far so good.
