Everyone knows that the Clippers have been reborn this season, and the team is showing great quality right now. Take the December game as an example, their 11-3 record is also the top presence in the league at the same time. After the first 31 games, the Clippers have a 19-12 record, and they are already among the top in the West. Seeing this Clippers team, everyone can't help but admire, they really want to get back what belongs to them this season. Some time ago, when the Clippers were losing in a row, many people were watching the excitement, but in fact, the problem of the Clippers was that the run-in was not smooth, unlike the Warriors, who encountered problems caused by the aging of the lineup, and the two were not the same.
Everyone has seen the complete Clippers, and it can be said that they are invincible. Recently, Xiaoka has been recovering from injuries, and in these four games, the Clippers have a record of 2 wins and 2 losses, which can prove the importance of Xiaoka. Xiaoka averaged 24.4 points, 3.5 assists and 5.9 rebounds per game this season, with a shooting rate of 52.1% and a three-point shooting rate of 42.9%. In addition, even if it is a three-point shooting percentage, only Powell can beat Leonard. There are all kinds of signs that Leonard's help to the Clippers is not something that anyone can replace. It's true that Harden has the ability to go to the bottom, but the current Harden also needs Leonard.
So what's the current situation with Leonard's injury? In terms of this, there is good news. Tyronn Lue officially announced Leonard's situation and bluntly said that Leonard had participated in the full training. As for the game against the Heat, whether Leonard will come back, Tyronn Lue's side sold a pass and did not give a clear answer. In fact, seeing that Leonard has fully participated in training, you can know that Leonard's injury has improved greatly, and it is also a sign of a comeback. Leonard is coming back soon, and I'm here to congratulate Harden, who doesn't have to be so tired. Congratulations to George, who is happy again. George is the most fishy presence among the Clippers giants this year.
The complete Clippers are fierce, George averages 22.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4 assists per game, and Harden has 17.7 points, 4.8 rebounds and 7.9 assists. In fact, when a player thinks like that, it's hard not to succeed. Of course, there is another good news, that is, Plumlee, who previously suffered a ligament injury in his left knee, is also about to come back, and the guy has also participated in the full training. However, we need to pay attention to the fact that the Clippers have Zubac and Theis on the inside, and now that Plumlee is back, it will be a bit crowded. If there is a transaction in the future, it is quite possible to make up for the shortcomings of the rest of the positions.
Overall, the Clippers are now on a good track. If you want to talk about the pattern of the west this season, it is also quite lively. It's true that the Suns are a Big Three team, but they don't show the style of the Big Three, and their win rate is hovering around 50%, and they are currently on the verge of the play-offs. The Lakers and Warriors each have their own problems, and it is quite difficult to solve them this season. On the Timberwolves and Thunder side, they are both young and have little playoff experience. If the game is full, the Clippers' real most formidable opponent is the Nuggets. As long as the Clippers can stay healthy this season, then they're in good shape for the championship.
