Kawhi Leonard says it's hard to quantify why he believes the Clippers could be a great team. 'It’s just about you knowing that everybody’s on the same page.'
It’s not defensive rating.“It’s a feeling when you know you have a great team,”
Do these Clippers, who played so unevenly through the season’s first half rebuilt the roster at the trade deadline only one month ago and have struggled mightily to win without Leonard, meet that criteria?victory over the Trail Blazers “So I think once those guys settled in and was able to see what we’re doing I think things started to change, but we still got to get better. It’s a lot of things, a lot of mistakes that we’re making at times but we just got to clean that up a little bit and see if we can just keep making leaps.
And yet when asked what has changed — and what still needs to improve — the Clippers follow Leonard’s lead and point to a feeling. “I think we’re holding each other accountable because we know what it looks like when we are succeeding. It gave us that accountability to step up in that way.”
