The Los Angeles Clippers have erased all doubts about their ability to coexist.
They were 3-7 in their first ten games with James Harden, and it seemed like there just weren’t enough basketballs and touches for everybody.
Russell Westbrook didn’t hesitate to bite a bullet for his locker room, taking a step back and agreeing to come off the bench for the sake of the team, and they’ve been a whole different team ever since.
Winners of 26 of their last 31, they now stand alone in the first spot in the Western Conference.
With that in mind, former NFL WR Keyshawn Johnson predicts they will win the NBA Championship.
Talking on Undisputed, the former Wide Reciever stated that they’d silenced all the outside noise and have finally begun understanding how to play with each other, which is why, as of now, they’re the team to beat in the league.
“As of right now, yeah I do,” Johnson said when asked if he had the Clippers winning it all.

He praised Kawhi Leonard for the way he’s played lately, and we already know what he’s capable of when he’s at his best.
The Clippers’ talent has never been doubted.
They also happen to have one of the best coaches in the game, so it’s only natural to see that they’re one of the best teams in the league.
However, they’ve historically struggled to be healthy in the playoffs, and that’s always the biggest concern surrounding this team.
Once again, health might be the only thing standing in their way to their first trip to the NBA Finals in franchise history.
But barring injury, they have a huge chance.
