The LA Clippers haven’t exactly started the season up to the standards that many in the NBA had for them, but according to Paul Pierce, the team is still capable of reaching the NBA Finals, subject to Kawhi Leonard’s well-being.

 

Kawhi Leonard’s health and the Clippers’ potential future were topics of discussion during Pierce’s interview with Kevin Garnett on KG Certified.

 

Paul Pierce opined, “I think it’s just taking him time to get him rhythm.”. He was absent from basketball for an entire year and a half. People anticipate that you will perform at a level that matches the last time they saw you. That is not how it functions. You’re up against the best players in the world, so you’ve got to recover, find your rhythm, and regain your feel. “.

 

Pierce thinks that even though the Clippers aren’t the best team in the western conference, they can be if Kawhi Leonard is fully recovered.

 

Pierce remarked, “Kawhi at his best, and I witnessed this the other night against the Celtics. The Los Angeles Clippers should be wary of Kawhi when he is at his best. The Clippers arguably have the deepest roster in the league, though I’m not sure what to make of them. The names, the depth, the star power, and the coaching they received are impressive. They have everything; we haven’t seen it all come together yet. The Clippers may be the best team in the west if Kawhi is at his best during the postseason. “.

When you consider the names, the depth, the star power, and the coaching, they got. They have everything; we haven’t seen it all come together yet.
