On April 7, as the Clippers beat the suns on the sidelines, they won three in a row, and although the Clippers had no desire in the regular season, 40 wins and 40 losses have established the eighth place in the West, they still continue their recent strong performance without any slackening. Paul George played well after his return and led the team to the playoffs to continue to impact the playoffs. The Clippers don't have home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, and they play against seventh place in the West, but even if they lose, they have a second round to continue to impact the playoffs.
This season's Clippers have been hit by injuries, the most direct is Leonard's season no play, and Paul George missed most of the games, even if the double-core "Pepper Combination" is absent, they still locked in the playoff qualification, and even won the eighth place in the regular season West. Thinking of the previous thick eyebrow brother complaining that the team has too many injuries, resulting in missing the playoffs, the Clippers, whose injury impact is even greater, has become a model, punching the face of the thick eyebrow brother.
After the Lakers lost to the Suns yesterday and officially missed the playoffs, The Thick Brower blamed the injury, and his remarks were: "I am disappointed that we did not have a chance to have a full team lineup, our goal this season is to win the championship, I thought we had this ability." But injuries have held back all that, and that's how we're different this season. ”
The Lakers' injuries have a big impact, but the Clippers, as a team in the same city, have been greatly affected by injuries, and even if the Pepper combination misses most of the games, their performance is still good.
This season, the Clippers faced the Lakers 4 times, won all of them, and swept the team coached by Vogel this season, and performed very well.
The Clippers have also won against the Suns and Heat, the first team in the East and West.
With teams at the top of the division, such as the Bucks, Celtics, Warriors and Warriors, the Clippers can also beat their opponents and avoid being swept by these giants.
Especially in the 2 games against the Celtics, the Clippers have all won, and it should be known that the Celtics are now in second place in the East, and the overall performance is still very good, but it is still double-killed by the Clippers.
In key games, such as a card game with the Pelicans, the Clippers can also take a 19-point victory after losing the previous three games against the Pelicans.
Most of these games were done without Leonard and Paul George, that is, the Clippers led by Tyren lu were full of injuries, and they could still kill the Green Army, sweep the Lakers, defeat the Warriors and the Heat, The Suns and other strong teams.
So through the Experience of the Clippers, it is actually equivalent to punching the face of the thick eyebrow brother to blame the injury statement, in fact, a whole season, every team will be affected by injuries, which is a challenge for the team, but also an opportunity. Unfortunately, the Lakers did not grasp it, their performance this season is sluggish, the run-in is not in place, regret is out, and they did not qualify for the playoffs.
