The NBA playoffs so far to say the most surprising team, then is the Cavaliers, they are obviously better in experience and squad thickness, and now the youth army Magic is inseparable, before the start of the playoffs, there were many experts and American media predicted that the Cavaliers would be able to advance in no more than 5 games, but now the two sides are back to the same running line to play 2-2, and the past two games of the Cavaliers have lost a total of 61 points.

With an average of 26+7 per game, Doncic is the most profitable deal this season, replacing the small card as the new boss of the Clippers

To be honest, like the Bucks 1-3 behind the Pacers, the Suns were swept by the Timberwolves, these are all understandable, after all, the Bucks are injured, although the Suns are the Big Three, but their lineup is too deformed, and the Timberwolves' lineup is no worse than them, this season the Timberwolves total salary league third, higher than the Suns' total salary, to be honest, the most surprising thing for me on the Western side is the game between the Mavericks and the Clippers.

Now that the score between the two sides is 2-2, there may be fans here who say that the strength of the two sides is very close to 2-2, isn't it normal? You must know that this 2-2 is the Clippers and the Mavericks in the absence of health Leonard, the Clippers lack a top ten player in the league and can play with the Mavericks is really unexpected, if the small card is healthy enough, maybe now the Clippers will sweep the Mavericks.

Could it be that the strength of the Mavericks is so poor? To be honest, the Mavericks are very strong, in terms of offensive ability alone, they are second to none in the entire league, they have the best backcourt singles duo in the league, but the Clippers are not worthy of them, although the small card did not play well due to injury, but George and Harden are powerful enough, in the past period of time George is still a good second leader, he has played his due performance at both offensive and defensive ends.

So far in the playoffs, George has averaged 21 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, with a three-point shooting rate of 42.7%, and can hit 3.5 three-pointers per game. And if you want to say that the biggest help for the team and the real big man of the Clippers playoffs, then it is definitely Harden, who is the real core of the team.

Harden played three excellent performances in a row after the start of the playoffs, even if he didn't have the ball, he still played an efficient game, it can be said that the reason why the team was able to win was completely brought by Harden, in the absence of the G1 small card, Harden played the role of the former ball-holding core, he even attacked and passed to help the team win, this game Harden scored 28 points and 8 assists, and Zubac also scored 20+ under his tandem.

But in G2 and G3 Harden didn't have so much ball, mainly because of Leonard's return, he ate part of the ball, and it also caused Harden to be unable to continue to play the ball-holding core, so it also affected the team's win, these two games, Harden scored 22 points and 8 assists in 6 of 14 shots, and scored 21 points and 8 assists in 7 of 13 shots, and the performance was still very efficient, and in the first quarter of G4 Harden led the team to establish a 31-point lead.

However, Tyronn Lue believed that George's excellent firepower brought the advantage, and as a result, the team let George hold the ball in the second and third quarters, and the Mavericks chased only six points at the end of the third quarter. Seeing that the situation was not right, Tyronn Lue changed his strategy in time, he let Harden hold the ball in the fourth quarter, but Harden hit consecutive throws in the fourth quarter, and scored 15 points in a single quarter to help the team withstand the offensive and finally win, Harden scored 33 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.

It can be said that the Mavericks have not found a way to deal with Harden until now, after the end of G4, Kidd was asked in an interview why the team does not defend Harden's throwing, Kidd said that it is at least better than his three-point shooting, his three-point is more accurate. It is not difficult to hear Kidd's helplessness from here, a player of Harden's level is really unable to defend if he feels online, if he is sandwiched, he will pass the ball, if he defends alone, he can eat alone, compared to his three points, it is better to let him throw two points.

Harden has averaged 26 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1.3 blocks per game so far in the playoffs, shooting 54% from the field, 50% from three-point range, and 4.3 three-pointers per game. It can be said that Harden's performance so far in the playoffs has completely exploded Doncic, although Doncic is younger and the core of the ball, but in terms of experience and ability to change the game, he was thrown by Harden several streets.

For now, Harden's deal should be the most profitable deal in the league this season, although they sent Batum, Morris Jr., Covington and Martin Jr., who are good blue-collar workers, and also sent two second-round picks and two first-round picks, but it is worth it to get Harden, even if the Clippers also ate the garbage contracts of Tucker and Peterru for this, Harden has made the Clippers a real top powerhouse.
