Harden should not have been traded in the first place, and although he couldn't say that he was competing for the championship before the trade, the playoffs were still stable
watched the replay of the game, this Harden George did what he had to do, the first two quarters were okay, Zubac Powell Tess could only do this, but Mannway was really weak, the ball just couldn't score in their hands, wasting time, they were completely out of shape whether they were attacking or defending, and they were not in a state at all
In the end, the 76ers compromised and asked for the Batum deal to be reached, and now I see that the Clippers should not give up Batum, although he is old and slow, but the experience of passing and rebounding and defending the three-point line are all online, and he will perform very well for more than 20 minutes per game
It's unacceptable to play, it's really unreasonable to be so vulnerable, and Harden is there, he is actually abused and has no power to fight back, and Xiaoka is not a big core with the ball, do you expect to rely on Xiaoka to solve it for a whole game, then it's a fart. There are four quarters in a game, and each quarter of the game has to be adjusted in time to adapt to the change in the format of the game. Dead players, lack of adaptability, will inevitably end in losing
Now Harden drops the chain every time he has to prove himself, which is why he can't get a big contract. Offensive hesitation, blind passing, and extremely unconfident shooting, in the end, they are all behind the blame. Harden always passes the ball, dribbles to the blue and doesn't attack himself and loses a few passes, Leonard is not the same as being able to control the ball, and he can also attack the blue, he has confidence in himself.
In the final analysis, the depth of the lineup is gone, and the forward group, which the Clippers were most proud of, is gone. In the past, there would be a shortage of shooters, would there be a shortage of forwards? I still remember that at the beginning of the season, the Jazz was also a rebound, and the forwards were still there, but now the forwards are weakened, and there are no rebounds. Wei Shao is now on top 4 to grab the board, and the rebounds are the second most rebounds of the Clippers, only less than Zubac, but Wei Shao's height is a hard injury, and like this, Wei Shao will not have any baskets, and it is very physically demanding.
What do a group of veterans need most? It's actually the depth of the team's roster, which allows the veterans to rest a little more and use good steel on the cutting edge, but now the Clippers' rotation lineup has that is reassuring. The result is that Ka Jiao is dead, so that Ka Jiao is injured faster, and you can see how tired you are from watching the game when you play the Mavericks, I thought the last game was a rotation rest, but now it is really injured.
