Are the Clippers running toward nothing?

Come closer and see, see into the dark. Just follow your eyes. The Clippers are winning games in commanding fashion. Kawhi Leonard looks like a top-5 player. What's real?

Good morning. This is the 1,500th issue of Good Morning It's Basketball. Let's basketball.

The Clippers won their sixth straight game on another Kawhi Leonard offensive masterpiece on Thursday. Bad teams, failed teams, mediocre teams can have winning streaks in the modern NBA. Hell, the New Orleans Pelicans recently won five straight. That winning streak was sandwiched between two longer losing streaks, and the Pelicans have the worst record in the Western Conference.

Something about this Clippers winning streak feels different.
