The Los Angeles Clippers decided to enter win-now mode when they partnered up the duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George ahead of the 2019-20 NBA season. When the duo formed, many expected the Clippers to dominate the Los Angeles Lakers and rule over the city of Los Angeles.

But a few years down the line, the Los Angeles Clippers, with their duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, are yet to make a huge impact on the team. Sure, the Clippers have destroyed the Lakers during their regular season matchups, but come playoff time, the Clippers are yet to even make the NBA Finals since pairing up Leonard and George.

The Lakers, on the other hand, traded for Anthony Davis in order to create a superstar duo with AD and LeBron James. The gamble helped the Purple and Gold in winning the 2020 NBA Championship,


Kawhi Leonard And Paul George Have Failed To Impress NBA Fans

After winning the 2020 NBA Champions, the Lakers have struggled to get back into that form. As a result, they have become an easy target for the media to troll. But their noisy neighbors, the Clippers, aren’t doing that well either.

To be precise, the duo of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George may seem exciting on paper. Still, due to constant injury troubles, the duo hasn’t really been available for the organization.

As mentioned in the above-attached tweet, LeBron James and the Lakers have taken a lot of heat for their failures in the past two seasons. But Kawhi and George have been very disappointing as well. Here’s what fans think of that narrative:

We ain’t forget how everybody said it was gonna be a Lakers Clippers WCF matchup 😂

Gave up all them picks and sga for one western conference finals appearance in what, 4 years?

Kawhi is more part time than a department store Santa

They just can’t stay healthy. They don’t play enough to be a contender. Until they can stay healthy for a majority of a season and all of the playoffs they won’t be able to compete for a ring

Since the pairing up of Kawhi and PG13, the expectations have always been sky-high from the Clippers. But so far, they are yet to fulfill those expectations. Even in the 2022-23 NBA season, the Clippers have a 22-21 record, which is definitely lower than what was expected of the team before the start of the season.
