Can the Clippers finish first in the West in the regular season next season?

I think it's very possibleAfter all, at present, the overall strength of the league team, the Clippers are undoubtedly the strongest team in the league.

Next season, the Clippers not only have the league's top small forwards Leonard and George, but they are also very good in terms of role players. Beverley, who has an active defense and shooting ability, and a scoring machine, has won the Sixth Man of the Year for a second time. And the rest of the Clippers' players are still in the upper echelons of the league.

You must know that in last season's Clippers, even without Leonard and George, they were both ranked eighth in the West and made the playoffs in the West. And this summer, they almost saved last season's roster and also added Leonard and George. In this way, the strength of the team has been greatly improved both offensively and defensively.

Next season, the Clippers will rise to the first place in the entire league, their strength on both offensive and defensive ends is excellent, and the abilities of the team's players are very complementary.

Although next season's West will still have several strong teams, such as the Lakers with James and Davis. Although the strength of these two teams in terms of superstars is about the same,But the Lakers' bench is nowhere near as strong as the Clippers'. And the overall ability of other teams in the West is not as strong as the Clippers.

Even the Warriors, because of the departure of Iguodala and Durant, have lost a lot of strength, and the overall strength is definitely not as strong as the current Clippers. The strength of the Clippers is very comprehensive, whether it is on the offensive end or the defensive end, the current Clippers team looks impeccable.

Therefore, the Clippers are very likely to achieve the first record in the West next season.

This must be, because the Clippers are very strong right now. Of course, there may be accidents.

The possibility is relatively large, and normal words can be the first, as long as there are no accidents!

Next season, the Clippers' main players will not have a big problem if they don't get injured.

The possibility is still relatively large, because the Clippers are actually relatively strong now.

It's really possible, the Clippers are very strong and should have a chance.

It's hard because their strength hasn't reached it yet.

If it can become the first in the west, then this will definitely be enviable.

You can't say for sure, it depends on how the players play on the pitch.

I don't think the Clippers have winning genes, and Paul wasn't bad when he was there, he couldn't even touch the floor of the Western Conference finals, and he was abused by the Warriors all day long, so I don't think the Clippers may outperform the Warriors.

I don't think so, after all, the teams in the west are very strong.

The reason the Clippers didn't make the playoffs was because they didn't win in the playoffs.

The Clippers lost back-to-back games to the Timberwolves and Clippers in the playoffs and missed the playoffs. This is a pity for the Clippers, George has returned from injury, Leonard is not far from returning, and the return of the twin stars will make the Clippers the championship favorite again. Just before the start of the second play-off game, George suddenly contracted the coronavirus, which put the team's hopes for the season to an end.

Specifics

In the game against the Timberwolves, the Clippers can be said to be a success and a defeat of Zubac. The Clippers formulated a strategy to defend the opponent's core Towns, Downs was insufficient, the threat under the basket was limited, and he mainly relied on shooting, so the Clippers let the front line defend Downs and did not give Towns a chance to shoot outside.

When Downs bursts in, with Zubac under the basket to help defend him, Downs' weaknesses will be fully exposed. In the whole game, Downs was only 3-of-11. At the same time, because of the presence of Zubac under the basket, the Timberwolves' breakthrough was difficult.

The Clippers were hailed as the favorites to win the championship last season, but they were reversed by the Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals and lost the opportunity to win the championship. This season, the Clippers have made a comeback, personnel adjustments, and the overall strength of the team has improved. The Clippers didn't do a great job in the early part of the season, and then under George's leadership, the Clippers managed to move up to third place in the West.

The regular season is coming to an end, because there is no win difference between the Clippers and the Nuggets, so the third place in the West may not be retained, and the key is which of the two teams loses first.

The Clippers have two games left against the Hornets and Rockets. The Clippers are among the best in the league and are difficult for the Hornets and Rockets to threaten, but the Clippers are prone to sudden collapse, which was the main reason for last season's loss. As long as the Clippers concentrate, they can take the opponent and retain the third spot in the West.

The Nuggets faced the Timberwolves and Pistons in their final two games, and the Nuggets had little problem winning the game, so the Clippers couldn't give the Nuggets a chance to overtake the rankings.

The Clippers' roster depth allows them to maintain their advantage. Every game counts these days, because the playoffs are coming, and the higher the ranking, the more advantageous you are. At present, except for Ibaka, the rest of the players on the Clippers are healthy, and the well-staffed Clippers will play well on the playoff stage.

The top priority is to win the last two games to secure their third place in the West, and I believe the Clippers will not let go of this opportunity.

The Clippers still have the quality to win championships this season. After all, there are star players like Leonard and George, as well as experienced veterans, but the Clippers in the playoffs will always have problems, like a curse. The Clippers just beat the Raptors to end their three-game losing streak, and Leonard has had a mediocre season and needs to find his groove so the Clippers can go far in the playoffs.

The Clippers still have the initiative at the moment and can't hand it over so that the Nuggets can't compete for the third spot in the West.

They should be able to keep it up for a long time, at least for a year, because they are still very strong and they have been working hard, so they can keep it up for a long time.

The Clippers managed to move up to third in the West, and they were able to hold on until the playoffs. The strength of the Clippers is very strong, and in the later games, the opponents they met were not very strong, and I believe that the Clippers can beat them.

My personal opinion is that they should be able to hold on for a long time, because the overall quality of the Clippers is still very good.

Summary. The Lakers are currently 24-27 and have a winning percentage; The Clippers have a record of 26 wins and 27 losses, and the winning percentage, which is better and worse, is clear at a glance.

The two are not better than not knowing, and one is more frightened. A few days ago, the Clippers defeated the Wizards and completed a 35-point reversal! As for the Lakers, they have led their opponents by more than 10 points in 11 games this season but have been reversed, the most in the league.

After Leonard joined the team, the Clippers quickly became the league's favorites to win the championship, but due to Leonard's physical condition, the Clippers' performance in the regular season was not very stable, because Leonard needed a lot of rest time in the regular season every year, and for two consecutive years, the Clippers selected playoff opponents in the final stage of the regular season, but a large number of rotations in the regular season did not keep Leonard completely healthy, and the selection of playoff opponents also made the Clippers lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot. He was eliminated by the Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals last season, and this season he played a tie-break with his first opponent, the Mavericks, which caused Leonard to be physically exhausted and injured in the Western Conference semifinals against the Jazz. Therefore, the Clippers' performance in the regular season this season can only be considered average.

Xiaoka is a very special player, his strength is really strong, but he has one of the biggest problems, that is, he needs a lot of rest, so his team's performance in the regular season is very average, because during the regular season, Leonard in order to avoid injury, a lot of rotation rest, which has also caused dissatisfaction among other players of the Clippers.

Leonard has actually always had the habit of taking a regular season break, and it was a tradition for the Spurs to take a rest during the Spurs period, and after the Raptors, Leonard, who was determined to be Xu in the regular season, broke out in the playoffs and helped the Raptors win the first championship in team history, so for Leonard's habit, although some players in the Clippers expressed dissatisfaction, the Clippers still relied on Leonard.

The biggest consequence of the rotation is that the Clippers' regular season record is not good enough, resulting in no home-court advantage after the playoffs, and in the final stage of the regular season this season, the Clippers lost to the league's bad teams Rockets and Timberwolves, in order to avoid the two major opponents in the playoffs, the Lakers and the Nuggets, who cast a shadow on the Clippers last season.

They also avoided it smoothly, but the teams in the playoffs were not easy to mess with, they were almost eliminated by the Mavericks in the first round, and Leonard was injured again in the second round, although George broke out and let the Clippers enter the Western Conference finals, but because of Leonard's injury, the Suns were finally sent to the Finals.

The Clippers had a very good regular season, led by Chris Paul and Griffin, who made it all the way to the top of the regular season start, and finally made it to the Western Conference Finals.

The performance is still very good, and it can be said that he has shown his strength, and finally won very good results.

They had a pretty good regular season and gave them their best performances, kudos to them.

I think they did quite well in the regular season, so to speak, far beyond expectations.

The chances of the Clippers catching up with these two teams are very slim. Third in the West, this is the greatest possible. Again, for the Lakers, making it to the top four is extremely unlikely.

The Mavericks' record is the same as that of the Lakers. They don't want to play in the play-offs, but they will compete with each other. That would make it possible for the Lakers to finish sixth.

The Los Angeles duo started early, and the West was fiercely competitive with many strong teams. Jazz and Sun are both rising stars this season, but their fighting power should not be underestimated.

No, because the Lakers are unlikely to finish in the top six anyway, at most seventh.

I think if the Clippers become the top three in the West, then the playoffs will definitely have a first-round Los Angeles derby, because based on the current form and the situation, there is a high probability.
