LA Clippers power forward Montrezl Harrell is calling out the experts who said the Clippers weren't going to be good this season.

Before the season started, pundits said the Clippers were going to be a lottery team. The team was exceeding expectations with Tobias Harris leading the way, but when Harris was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers, everyone thought the club would free-fall in the standings.

That didn't happen, though, as Los Angeles clinched a playoff spot on Tuesday after defeating the Minnesota Timberwolves. Montrezl Harrell, one of the toughest players in the league, is enjoying shutting the critics up:

“Everything, man, as you can see,” Harrell told Jovan Buha of The Athletic. “Everything. Y’all said we weren’t gonna make the playoffs. Y’all said we were only gonna win 33 games. There was a lot of sayings of what we weren’t gonna do.”

The Clippers are 45-30 on the season, which is good for fifth place in the Western Conference standings. They are one of the hottest teams in the league. Los Angeles has won six games in a row and is 9-1 in its last 10 games.

No one wants to see this team in the playoffs. They play hard for 48 minutes, and Doc Rivers has the guys on the team believing they can beat anyone.
