On the Clippers playing better recently, some people point to Zu going down as a blessing in disguise, as it gave some guys more spacing. They also lifted Kawhi's minutes restrictions, in mid Dec, which still took some time before the L's turned into W's. Whatever throttling Kawhi may have thought about saving post season, he has to spend it now for a shot at play-in contention. Trade pundits throwing Kawhi or Harden's names, but it's difficult to see for me to see any of these guys dealt mid season.
