Much like the Boston Celtics, the LA Clippers are a team that seems to be getting hot at the right time. The Clippers have won seven of their last eight games and their dynamic duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George appears to be playing at a high level heading into the final few weeks of the regular season.

If their duo of George and Kawhi can continue to play at this level and carry that momentum in the playoffs, I’m not sure there are many teams that you’d be willing to bet against the Clippers. LA may have been a big disappointment in last year’s playoffs, but this team has a golden opportunity to make up for that experience.

Many thought that the Clippers would win the NBA Championship last season. Maybe, just maybe, we were all a year too early on this team.
