The two major suspenses of the Clippers vs. the Pistons!
On Feb. 11, the Clippers will host Detroit. The Clippers have suffered a heavy defeat only once in their last seven road games. This time, they were still on their home turf, so there wasn't much to watch in this game. The Clippers are the third-best team in the West, and they are a far better team than the Pistons in the East.
Mastery of rhythm is important.
At the start of the season, the Pistons struggled in a poor position. However, the Pistons have ended their embarrassing losing streak and have shown a youthful strength. The Pistons, after beating the Thunder, the strongest in the West, won two straight games against the Kings and Trail Blazers.
If the Clippers can hold on to their form, it shouldn't be difficult to win. The most important thing is to grasp the rhythm and play steadily. Harden is the heart of the team, and he has to get the ball, slow down the game, and improve his shooting percentage. If the opponent is not given a chance to play a beautiful fast break, then it will be difficult for the Pistons to have a chance to turn over. Over time, the Clippers' four-man advantage will become more pronounced as key points and key shots increase.
The outcome of this game would not have changed much, but the victory between George and Tucker remained.
When will George get back to his previous level?
Due to a groin injury, George was in poor shape and felt like he was frozen. After a game, George retired, back on the pitch. Now he's recovered well, he's been playing a lot, and the injury isn't a big problem for him. When George will be able to get his hands on the ball is a question worth noting. There's no doubt about George's ability to score, but his physical form is very inconsistent. George's biggest weakness is defense, but you can't use 3D to describe him, that is, he is a violent thing, and the road to the championship depends on George.
George's passing is more demanding, he has to find the ball slowly, and sometimes he has to take the ball a few more times. George's receiving and pitching is usually done with both hands, and this is not really obvious. When George dribbles, his power is still strong. The game against Detroit is a great opportunity for George and I hope he can find himself soon.
When will Tucker be able to race?
The Clippers didn't let Tucker go before the deadline. Tucker wanted to play, but Coach Lue never gave him that chance. Since you can't get people away, let's take it yourself and wait for Tucker to recover. According to **, the Lakers remain confident in Tucker's performance and believe he can make a difference for the playoffs. If that's the case, I think Tucker will have a chance to play soon.
As he gets older, Tucker has a noticeable drop on both ends of the court and the court, especially on his offense. Defensively, Tucker is limited in height and will struggle to lock in his pace when he slows down. On offense, Tucker's once-strong back-corner three-point shot is gone, and his terrifying shooting ability is gone. Without Tucker, the Clippers' restricted area would be poor. Tucker's main task is to find a three-pointer so that he can win the trust of Coach Lue.
