'That choke job about to be amazing' – Kawhi Leonard’s Clippers clinching No.1 seed in the West triggers WILD reactions online

It’s evident that the Clippers aren’t guaranteed to maintain their current position as they are still several months away from the playoffs, where they’ve notably lacked success. However, despite this, their transformation since November 14 has been astonishing.

Once again, Kawhi Leonard appears to be one of the NBA’s most dominant players. Since his return from a hip injury on January 1st, Leonard has been averaging 24.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.9 steals, and 1.3 blocks, showcasing a remarkably efficient shooting performance of .550/.506/.922.

Despite these impressive performances, fans remain unimpressed. It’s understandable, given the Clippers’ reputation for faltering when it counts the most.

Fans not impressed by LA Clippers surge to the top of the Western Conference standings

The Los Angeles Clippers surged to the top of the Western Conference standings after losses last night for rivals Timberwolves and the OKC Thunder. Despite the challenges, the Clippers appear to be in good shape and have positioned themselves in a way that would have seemed unimaginable just a few months ago. However, not all fans are convinced.
