In the latest official power rankings, the Clippers have risen to No. 1.
After winning 103-95 against the Heat today, the Clippers are currently 33-15, far from the Timberwolves and Thunder (35-15), who are in first and second place in the West. is only 1 win difference, and I always feel that according to the current momentum of the Clippers, the record will be the first in the West in minutes.
It has been said that the Clippers have the best record in the league since December (25-5).
In fact, narrowing down the range, from January to now, the Clippers are 14-3, which is also the best in the West.
It's no wonder that they made it all the way from the non-playoff zone to the top four in the West.
Today, Harden performed another quasi-triple-double.
Played 42 minutes, shot 7 of 12, 5 of 9 3-pointers, and finished with 21 points, 11 assists and 8 rebounds.
53% shooting, 55% 3-point shooting, 71% true shooting, plus/minus +10, this efficiency.
You should have seen Harden's transformation, right? The style of play and the attitude on the pitch ......Wait a minute!
Harden scored 11 points alone in the final quarter, allowing Leonard to rest safely off the bench and watch Harden harvest the game.
Harden delivered 11 assists in the whole game, well, all said, when Harden has more than 10 assists, it is really difficult for the Clippers to lose.
In addition to Harden, Leonard also had a 20+ performance today, shooting 8 of 16, scoring 25 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists.
Off the bench, Powell also contributed well, scoring 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting.
Now the Clippers give people the feeling that the blood is so thick!
The East does not shine brightly, and the West shines ......
George can't, Leonard can.
Leonard can't, Harden can.
Harden can't, Wei Shao can't.
Wei Shao can't do it, Powell can't.
Look at it, so many **!
But the Clippers are clearly not satisfied with the current situation, and after acquiring Harden in a trade this season, their goal is definitely to point to a championship.
So if there is an opportunity to further refine and polish their roster, the Clippers will definitely not let it go.
Although the Clippers have limited options for trading and don't have many chips to come up with, they still have players who are actively in the right place.
According to Marc Stein, the Clippers are interested in Hornets power forward PJ Washington, who have recently been evaluating the trade market for Hyland and P.J. Tucker.
PJ Washington is averaging 13. per game this season6 points 51 plate 22 help 08 caps 09 breaks.
Not long ago, Washington served as a substitute, shooting 17 of 22 in a single game, 7 of 9 three-pointers, and scored 43 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists.
He is the first big man in the NBA to score 40+ as a substitute and shoot at least five 3-pointers.
You see, is this suitable for the Clippers?
Anyway, it's definitely better than the current PJ-Tucker.
Tucker is really old, and after being traded to the Clippers, he played 12 games, averaging 14 per game4 minutes, the data is 12 points 24 plates 07 helps.
Obviously not enough to be the puzzle piece of the championship puzzle!
Tucker has been DNP since Nov. 28.
So, do you say that the Clippers can really get back useful puzzle pieces by using Tucker and Hyland to go to free agency like this?
Hyland has also played just 19 games this season, averaging 63 votes 2Out of 3, get 62 points 17 help 09 plates.
There are no fewer ...... disliked by Clippers fans
This chip is even more outrageous than Russell + Schifino on the Lakers' side who exchanged all over the league!
However, the Clippers should also know their situation, and their appeal is not like the Lakers want to change an All-Star level player.
What they need is a rotation of reinforcement strikers!
Do you think there is any cheap and easy-to-use forward other than PJ Washington that is more suitable for the Clippers?
Bengu is quite optimistic about the Clippers this season, and if they can further strengthen before the trade deadline, then the probability of winning the championship this year is really high.
