I’m officially worried about the LA Clippers

The LA Clippers were one of the favorites by many when picking a team to win it all this season. And understandably so. Looking at the roster on paper, the Clippers have arguably the deepest and most talented roster. However, there are some warning signs that have already been revealed through the first few weeks of the season.

For one, Kawhi Leonard is probably on pace to play just a third of the games this season. He’s only played in two games this season and has been on a minutes restriction in each of those first two games. It’s not great.

Once again, Paul George is having to carry the bulk of the workload for the Clippers. And it’s likely going to remain that way throughout the regular season. If George can’t remain healthy, there’s a very good chance the Clippers begin to fade in the West.

I suppose the true question is whether the Clippers can be trusted in the postseason. Quite frankly, with the history that they’ve had, I’m not even sure they’ll be completely healthy.
