Ex-Lakers Star Predicts Clippers’ Fate With Bold Claim as Kawhi Leonard and Co. Maintain Hot Streak

The LA Clippers have put their championship contenders in fifth gear. They are currently on an 8 game winning streak and there are no signs of anything that can slow them down. While the Clippers continue to reign supreme in the league, there is one person who has labeled them as the champions in the West.

Lou Williams recently said on the Run It Back show that the Clippers are now unstoppable in the West. As per the ex-LA Lakers star, they have the “deepest team” in the league.

Lou Williams names the one thing that can stop the Clippers

Williams said, “This team is healthy. All 4 of their star players are playing the game. I got this team winning the west now”. While the tall claim came as a shock to the rest of the panel, Williams stood his ground, explaining why he thinks so. He said that this is the best team right now and has four players who can turn around any game. As per Williams, Russell Westbrook has understood and adapted to his role in coming off the bench. While Paul George is the most consistent among all the star players on the roster.

The other two players Kawhi Leonard and James Harden have really left an impression on the 37-year-old. Williams said that there was no way any team could get past them if all the players remained in good shape. The one thing that does concern him a bit is whether they’ll be able to stay healthy throughout the series. Williams said that if they do, there’s no stopping the Clippers now. Their biggest strength, according to the ex-NBA star is that they have four stars on the team who can be given the responsibility to snatch the game away from their opponent.

The Clippers show against the Indiana Pacers

The LA franchise closed the game against the Indiana Pacers in style last night. The game ended 127-151 and the in-season tournament finalists could only secure one quarter of the game. More importantly, for the Clippers, Harden showed up on the court, in a fashion that was expected from him.

The Beard, who was being labeled as “The Problem” in the league for the past few months, turned it into a compliment after the last game’s performance. Harden played for 28 minutes, in that time he scored 35 points, 9 assists, and 3 rebounds. As for the other three stars, Westbrook complimented his role well coming off the bench. Kawhi closed the game with 28 and PG dropped 27.

If they continue this run, Lou Williams’s claim will turn out to be just incredible foresight.
