The Game Between the Clippers and the Suns, although in the third quarter, the Clippers began to chase points, but there was still no way to equalize or surpass the Suns, and in the fourth quarter of the game, the gap between the lack of stars came out, and the Suns in the last quarter of the game widened the score, and finally won the game. The Clippers' current record is 19 wins and 20 losses, ranking eighth in the West, and the team has also experienced two consecutive losses.
Now the Clippers are a team that lacks a double core, George has been absent for a while, of course, not for too long, and Leonard has surgery in the offseason, and many media and experts predicted that Leonard will most likely return next season, or in this season's playoffs. According to the famous Haynes, Leonard has increased his training volume in recent weeks, and sources have also revealed that Leonard looks stronger, which is very good news.
The Clippers are the league's typical dual-core team, without Leonard, the Clippers single core can basically only be said to be a playoff team, and the double core is in, then the Clippers will become the league's championship team, today's NBA game, the impact of stars on the game is very large, which is obvious to all. Of course, for the Clippers and Leonard, the comeback is urgent, after all, Leonard and the Clippers have a multi-year contract, and so does George, so the team will only let Leonard come back when he is completely healthy.
From all indications, Leonard is expected to return in the playoffs, of course, provided that the Clippers can play in the playoffs, this season's Western Conference teams are doing very well, the competition in the West is still very fierce, from the current ranking point of view is indeed so. The Clippers did very well in the playoffs last season, the team reached the Western Conference Finals, and from the result, the combination of Leonard and George has a chance to win the championship, and Terren lu as head coach is also very suitable for the Clippers.
At present, the Clippers' role player lineup has not changed much, mainly Reggie Jackson, Kennard, Zubac, Morris Jr., Batum, Ibaka, Mann and Bledsoe, etc., of course, Bledsoe is a player obtained through trade in the offseason, Leonard is not there, he mainly plays the starter. From the lineup point of view, the Clippers are still good, hope Leonard can recover smoothly, but also look forward to his comeback.
