Since the Clippers lost to the Suns in the Western Conference Finals last season due to Leonard's injury problems, they have retained almost all of the role players from last season this season, so even without Leonard, they are still optimistic at the beginning of the game.
However, in terms of the first five games, they only achieved a record of 1 win and 4 losses, and can not be attributed to Leonard's absence alone, the role players collectively played poorly, far less than last season is also the main reason.
In terms of performance, George is worthy of the General Joe, he fully qualified as a leader, averaging 28 points, 7.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 50% shooting percentage in five games, making him one of the strongest performers in the opening season.
This requires Reggie Jackson, Zubac, Batum, Mann, Kennard and other players to seize the recovery, and George no longer wants to be the owner of the empty group.
