The Los Angeles Clippers have not yet played a playoff game with their current roster construction, but that hasn't stopped some of their players from envisioning what it would be like to win the NBA championship in just over five months.

“It makes sense for our whole mantra and everything that we stand for,” guard Lou Williams said, per Drew Ruiz of Slam Online on the possibility of winning a ring. “We’ll be the first team in NBA history that it’s L.A. our way and we can possibly hear boos at our own parade. I want to win it for the experience.”

The Clippers enter play on Tuesday evening with a 30-13 record on the season, which has them in fourth place in the Western Conference, but also just four games behind the Los Angeles Lakers for the No. 1 seed. They have maintained their strong record even without Kawhi Leonard playing in both legs of back-to-backs and Paul George having appeared in only 26 games due to a shoulder injury that sidelined him at the beginning of the season.

Integral to the team's success has been the three-headed monster of Williams, Montrezl Harrell and Patrick Beverley. The duo of Williams and Harrell have once again put themselves in the conversation for NBA Sixth Man of the Year, while Beverley has spearheaded the team's tenacious defense as the starting point guard.

While the trio of Harrell, Williams and Beverley further expounded upon how they believe that a title parade would go in the interview with Ruiz, they also recognize that there is much work to be done before getting to make that a reality. But for the first time in a long time, the Clippers believe that they have a realistic chance at becoming the new kings of Los Angeles.
