LA Clippers · For the L.A. Clippers, it has often been a matter of not “when,” but “if,” particularly when discussing the injury bug. Finally afforded a somewhat-clean bill of health, as well as a roster talented enough to compete with any team across the Association, the 2024 NBA Playoffs will mark yet another opportunity for them to snag an elusive NBA title. Doubling down on their all-in roster strategy, the Clippers made their championship aspirations clear with an early-season trade for 10-time All-Star James Harden. Ultimately, finishing as the Western Conference’s No. 4 seed, the Clippers were in the thick of the race for the top seed — even sitting at No. 1 in February — providing an example of their capabilities at their peak. With six different players averaging double-digits, headlined by the duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, the aforementioned Harden, and an elite second-unit contributor in Russell Westbrook, the Clippers will enter the postseason fray with more experience, but also perhaps more pressure than nearly any team involved. This Fandom 'Wild Card' Redemption can be crafted into an L.A. Clippers Moment after each round of the 2024 NBA Playoffs. · State of Mint
