Harden Jr. slashed 60 12 9 Clippers victory exposed problems, and the cancer was difficult to eliminate to win the championship
Harden Jr. got a score of 60 plus 12 plus 9! There are still hidden dangers for the Clippers to win, and this "cancer" will be difficult to win the championship if it is not cleared.
Especially Harden and Leonard, the two big stars of the NBA, cooperate tacitly on the court, shoot again and again, and defend again and again, which seems to be conveying a message to people: With us, one day, one day, one day, one day, we will win the championship! And in today's game against the Kings, their confidence was also well reflected. Harden had 26 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, Leonard had 34 injuries, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and the two of them combined to score 60, 12, 9, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4, 4, 4, 2, and the Clippers won this game very smoothly. However, there are two sides to everything, and this big win also exposed some problems for the Clippers.
Paul George, one of the Clippers' trio, made just seven of his 18 shots in the game, scoring just 19. Judging by this game, he has a lot of questions about the choice and timing of his shots. Some people even bluntly said that for the Clippers, George is a "cancer". His inconsistent shooting and inconsistent play will be an obstacle to the team's championship.
Throughout the past few games, George's scoring has come more from more shots, and his effectiveness on the offensive end has been a concern. At this time, the Clippers' three-point line shortcomings have also been infinitely expanded. And now, exchanging George for someone who moves fast and has a good offense is definitely a great option for the Clippers.
Some fans have suggested that Capela for the Hawks could be part of the deal. He used to play with Harden with the Rockets, and the two worked very well together. What's more, Capela's running and defense are also a good addition for the Clippers. Of course, this is just a hypothesis, and there are still many problems to be solved in practice.
But in any case, George's problem, the Clippers still have to solve. When it comes to the playoffs and even the finals, each player's performance will affect the entire game. George is the most important part of this team and his play makes a big difference to the whole team. Hopefully, he'll get used to it as soon as possible and do more for us.
