The start of the season was terrible, the commentators mocked after the trade for Harden - then everything changed. Kawhi is putting up historic numbers and became an MVP candidate, and his teammates are also starring.

The Clippers lost all of their first five games after the Harden trade, and at the end of the first ten cycles of the 2023/24 season, they found themselves with a dismal record of 7:3. It was on November 15th that the Clippers rose to first place in the West, with a record of 15:34, after nine wins in the last ten games.
