Previously in this space, we told you the Los Angeles Clippers needed to get a grip after losing their first five games with James Harden in the lineup. Since then, the Clippers have gone 15–5 and look like a legitimate title contender.

The Suns are 3–9 since Nov. 29, and their wins haven’t been particularly impressive, notching victories over the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies, the Golden State Warriors on the night Draymond Green hit Jusuf Nurkić in the head, and the tanktastic Washington Wizards.
