Previous times when Kawhi came back from injury his first game wasn’t as smooth and clean as this game, he’s hella locked in. Good thing to find the groove before all star break 🔥
Good take. It’s crucial we find a groove before the break. Last year we slumped right before and we never recovered in terms to how explosive we played on that 23-5 run.
Locked into what exactly? Dude was supposedly some level of healthy when the Olympics went down... almost 6 months ago. I will be shocked if Kawhi is healthy during the playoffs. He just hasn't been consistently in years
@@EuroP252 I am not a fan of fraud. First time around in LA the Clippers bought in and it made some sense. Kawhi was not an 80 game + playoffs guy then but he did get a chip in Toronto so they went all in. Beyond that first contract it has become something else. Dude thought 50 games + rest would give playoff availability. Nope. Then maybe bring him off the bench for a couple months... you know keep him ready for the playoffs. Nope. But he still takes the max money but isn't able to earn it. Not a fan of that... at all
Just take it easy till playoffs. I think they had a chance this year if everyone is healthy. With Kawhi's health and his presence, he made a lot of impact.
Odds of Kawhi making a good impact in the playoffs QUESTIONABLE at best. This team is not capable of playing team defense on a level to make any post season run. I know yes they are tied with the Mavs right now but also just 2 games ahead of the Spurs. West is going to be a buzzsaw come second round of the playoffs and LA does not have a team that can even get that far
@@I.am_Groot my brother did u just say theyre not capable of playing team defense at a high level? theyre 4th in defensive rating without kawhi. kawhi is arguably their best or 2nd best defender. at the worst he can be an elite 3 and d player. at best, he'll be an all nba elite 2 way player like he was 8 months ago
@@fungi43 The Clips currently outscore their opponents by ONE POINT a game. They turn the ball over way to much. Right now there are just 6 teams that score LESS than the Clippers. Last I checked a WIN happens when you score more than your opponent. So like I said Clips do not play defense on a level that will afford them a long playoff run. When the playoffs come that strength of schedule climb gets much steeper. Right now LA is a play-in team. Adding Kawhi makes them better so let's say they move up to 4 or 5 are they good enough to beat Denver, Memphis, or Dallas?
Kawhi has been shot for several years now, but he is doing a masterful job of keeping the money flowing in. He's probably made more money per game played than any other player ever. Just did the math. Lebron has made $31,000 per game for his career. Kawhi's made $47,000 per game.
im gonna be honest with you, even if Kawhi remains healthy throughout the entire season, I dont think they have enough firepower to beat the Boston Celtics. As of now, no team can beat the Celtics in a series. I think even the KD warriors will hard a hard time against them.
The MYTH of these Clippers has been exposed many times. Old man Harden and his 5 turnovers a game are not a recipe for playoff success. Nice to see the most expensive 50 games a season in NBA history back in action... but LA does not have a basketball team capable of winning a first round playoff series
If Kawhi was high on his success with the Raptors, he wouldn't have asked for serial loser PG13. Now you can see what would have been without that loser.
So happy to see Kawhi back
Good to see him back. Hope he stays healthy! 🙌
Hope that since 6 years..
Good luck with that! 😂
In ur dream but love to have that happen
Haters can't wait to wish bad on Kawhi.... What a bunch of petty low life animals.......... BLESSINGS AND GOOD HEALTH to Kawhi and the guys!!✌🇹🇹
Yup 10-20 games max
Good to see Kawhi back in action! Wishing him a healthy season ❤️🙏🏼
Kawhi is still super star. I'm always happy to see his play. welcome back our Claw🎉
This Clippers team is actually good now
Casual take
I love you Kawhi, welcome back!!!

I totally agree

@@I.am_Grootyour not a fan. he clearly doesn’t play when he’s somewhat healthy, mans has to be healthy that simple

We got Mann back. We got Kawhi back. Harden back. Great home win.
Just take it easy till playoffs. I think they had a chance this year if everyone is healthy. With Kawhi's health and his presence, he made a lot of impact.
They complaining about the ratings and 3 point attempts….Clippers make 60% of their points in the paint area.
Go kawhi I miss you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
clips with a healthy kawhi are a top team in the league. yes league.
LOL…lol
Welcome back Kawhi! Kawhi has been warmly welcomed by his teammates! Great game Clippers Team!!!
Kawhi harden and some quality role players. This is a recipe for a deep playoff run given if we stay healthy 🙏
LOL…say no to drugs
emergence of zubac and norm, defense of djj and dunn are the difference makers

This was one of the best games I’ve watched so far this season.
The presince of khawi make the clippers players Hyper..,😊😊😊😊
Absolutely true
TAMA
Welcome back Kawhi!
I have never seen Zubac before this season dunk the ball so easily, finally!
Welcome Back Kawhi. I almost forget just how good he really is. Please stay healthy
Harden balling like MVP
MVP? Dude is poppin 21 ppg shooting under 40% overall and turning the ball over 5 times a game.. MVP?
Defence about to be top tier 💪

YESSIRRR
Good to see Kawhi back
Wonderful game! Welcome back Kawhi!!
Welcome back Kawhi

Dominator Kwah!
.. if we get a backup big man & figure out our backup point guard situation - we could finally do something.
love this team
Kawhi🔥🔥🔥🔥
Qué alegría verte de nuevo en mi equipo Kawhi!! Vamos Clippers
We miss u idol stay healthy
Idol? Don't idol nobody.
Don't Idolize Man. They're not above you keep your heart with God, where your heart is your treasures are also.
@@DeuceD3uc3 yessir
Yeahh kawhi i can't wait to see him in the second game of the season in march
The clippers, are the best show in the N B A
Clippers look way better without PG. One of the best decisions they ever made
PG overrated
“Hit the side of the backboard 🗣️”
MY GUY IS BACK doing his thang!!! EEEEEE!!❤
Que bueno que estas de regreso Kawhi, eres el mejor jugador de la NBA. Clippers sion un gran equipo!.
Glad Klaw is back. Also good to see TMann looking confident. The bench was really missing his energy and versatility.
Kawhi Leonard Best Player
Harden wasn’t kidding when he said he is finally feeling 100% ever since he hurt his hamstring in Brooklyn
Welcome back bro…Go for the Chip this Season…💪💪💪
Clippers played very well. Some things to clean up still.
the mike hawks never had a chance!!
I LOVE MY SQUAWWWWWWWW #CLIPPERNATION I LOVE YOUUUU!!!
Not going anywhere with that Ty Lue fella as the head coach.
Dude is a solid coach.
We Miss you Kawhi
This is a top 5defensive team that gave the western champs all they can handle dont freak out if this new version clipps make a deep run
Let's go clippers. for other teams, IT'S OVER!
He's Back Top 5 player in The League. Kawhi
Lets go clippers
Kawhi aura on the court make the team better
Im begging you kawhi please get my man harden his first chip we need you😢
GOAT BACK🐐
Welcome back Kawhi! LFG
The question is how many playoff games can Kawhi play?
Kawhi has been shot for several years now, but he is doing a masterful job of keeping the money flowing in. He's probably made more money per game played than any other player ever.
Just did the math. Lebron has made $31,000 per game for his career. Kawhi's made $47,000 per game.
kawhi barely dragging his feet and limping just to give the fans needed relief 😂
And he still scored 12 in 19 minutes 😂
Kevin Porter Jr ⚡⚡
This feels eerily similar to the Raptors championship run
The season started for the Clippers on Jan 4th 2025 🏀
Love Kawhi!
let's go #clippers #klaw 🌊🌊🌊
You know whose the 🐐
Missed you bro
I just noticed the clippers have a lot of left handed players lol Harden,Derrick Jones,Jordan miller,Amir Coffee,Kevin Porter Jr
left handed guns
4:39 💀💀💀💀🔥🔥
If Kawhi can't stay healthy throughout the playoffs, should Clippers trade him? Not as bad as Zion but tired of being disappointed
hell no
we just need a pf and backup center and we good
❤
Welcome back Kawhi Anthony Leonard!!!
Get Claxton from Brooklyn then Clippers will be ready. Zubac alone is not good enough and need a stronger/quicker center.
Welcome back idol kawahi Leonard 2
im gonna be honest with you, even if Kawhi remains healthy throughout the entire season, I dont think they have enough firepower to beat the Boston Celtics. As of now, no team can beat the Celtics in a series. I think even the KD warriors will hard a hard time against them.
God, give him only health so he can finish the season
I'm sure we'll hear in a week that he reagrivated pre-existing leg injury
The MYTH of these Clippers has been exposed many times. Old man Harden and his 5 turnovers a game are not a recipe for playoff success. Nice to see the most expensive 50 games a season in NBA history back in action... but LA does not have a basketball team capable of winning a first round playoff series
0:10 "and we welcome back Kawhi Leonard"
A week from now: "and we say farewell to Kawhi Leonard this season"
If Kawhi was high on his success with the Raptors, he wouldn't have asked for serial loser PG13. Now you can see what would have been without that loser.
All who's best player in the nba! Be prepared for the klaw!
welcome back kawhi
you are looking at the 2025 nba champs
Paul George by we don't need ya 😂he gonna miss the playoffs 😂😂😢😢
Kawih lion yard is back
Welcome back kawhi
3:58 i thought i will see him in 2026
Scary hours
Steal of James
not to discredit LAC offense, but the Hawks are really sloppy out there no D
Trade Kris Dunn for Klay Thompson
Nice to see you kawhi...Godspeed idol...long live❤❤❤
wb fun guy!
让哈登继续掌舵吧，小卡先在防守端找找感觉，老鹰这档球队，快船二阵都应该拿下的，目标还是要定在雷霆这档。
Klaw
James Harden, Raptors? What did I hear?
he was talking about his name being hung in the raptors as one of the great players on a banner
🙄💥He's baack
😖💥😮💨💥🫣💥
