If they get back with a few games remaining till the start of the playoffs to build some chemistry I say the Clippers and Phoenix will be great series. Infact I think the Clippers might be the favorites

For them as long as they make the playoffs they should come back for the playoffs itself.

It will go to 7 games and who knows. I still probably lean towards the suns given how clutch they are under pressure with Paul and Booker

Leonard hasn't played in nearly two years. There's no telling how good he looks and there's no guarantee he's coming back even remotely close to sharp. While the time frame of George's injury isn't nearly as long, his shooting arm is what was injured, so that's not something to be taken lightly. No telling how he'll show up, either.

I'd say six at most and PHX marching on.

Huh? It's been 9 months, not 2 years..Kawhi played in last year's WCSF

I’d put them as 2nd favorites to come out of the west after the Suns

I'd love for that to happen but I'm worried Kawhi would be coming back too soon. Isn't that injury atleast a year recovery?

Kawhi is not coming back. Just more bs speculation to sell tickets.

The alternative is wasting 3 years of their window with no ring. They need to give it a go. This year is wide open. With Kawhi+PG one of most stacked teams ever. West isn’t that scary compared to usual.

Crazy if they both come back, it’s seems probable that both will, it’s the Wild Wild West.

Kawhi is not coming back this year. Teams do this stuff all the time to hype the fans up. I will eat crow if he comes back for the playoffs.

Easily the favorites of Kawhi suits up, definitely out west. No real elite out west this year.

He was doing box jumps recently. Maybe he doesn’t return, but it won’t be his health stopping him. It will be precautionary.

I agree. The reason why the Clippers signed Kawhi and traded for PG is to win a championship.

If they miss out on this years playoffs that's one less chance they'll have to reach that goal. Of course, if they're too injured to come back then they have no choice, but if they think they can do it then I say go for it.
