No. 1 thing that needs to happen for the LA Clippers to win NBA Finals: Staying healthy
Everybody remembers how the LA Clippers had a tough time staying healthy last year.
"“It wasn’t just in the playoffs, but the regular season as well. Leonard missed 20 regular season games, Paul George was out for 18, Patrick Beverley missed 35, Marcus Morris went out for 15, and Ibaka was hurt for 31.”"
Other than just Kawhi getting back and healthy for the playoffs, the whole team needs to be much more durable than what they were last year. They really struggled with staying healthy, which hurt the team’s chemistry.
When the team is constantly switching lineups, it’s going to take longer to gel together. It lead to two long series in the postseason while the Suns had only played 10 postseason games before going up against the Clippers in the WCF.
If the Clips can stay healthy this time around, they’ll be peaking by playoff time and will be ready for a strong run. If they head into the playoffs rusty, then their title hopes may be gone.
