There were so many questions about the Los Angeles Clippers before this season started, and most people were concerned about how well they’d do.
It hasn’t been completely smooth sailing for James Harden and his squad, but they have been doing quite well lately.
According to Legion Hoops, the Clippers have now won five straight games.
Does this team have a legitimate shot of earning a winning record for the regular season and going far in the playoffs?

The last five wins have been against the Utah Jazz, Golden State Warriors, Orlando Magic, Sacramento Kings, and Philadelphia 76ers.
Some of those teams are rather easy to beat, but some of them are quite competitive, which gives more weight to LA’s accomplishment.
Sadly, the Clippers’ impressive winning streak could be coming to an end on Monday night, when they face the Boston Celtics.
Defeating the Celtics isn’t easy for any team, so it’ll be a real test for the Clippers.
This team lost Paul George and Russell Westbrook in the summer, and then Kawhi Leonard suffered yet another injury and hasn’t played a single game yet.
Because of all that, most people thought this would be a lost season for the Clippers.
But they are proving there is still a lot of fight in them, and they are better than expected.
Five wins in a row is definitely noteworthy, especially against these teams.
Now the Clippers will try to keep it up against one of the hardest teams in the league.
If they can make it six in a row, particularly against the Celtics, a lot more people will be talking about the Clippers.
