Harden was really fun to watch last night that run at the end of the 3rd quarter was vintage the way he generated space on that 1st 3 was chef’s kiss
Here is the rub They have James to keep the playoff games close. If they are within say 6 in the last 3 minutes That is Kawhi time That makes them dangerous Rocket River
That is quality announcing. "St James beginning to preach in the Mecca the gospel hour has begun...." Beautiful.
Clippers have 1 of the best announcing teams in the game that same Clippers announcer said recently he wasn’t a fan of James Harden before he joined the team but has come to like him and enjoy watching him play so much that he’ll defend him for the rest of his career
The question is . . . . can the Clippers expect 4 . . no I will say 5 Good games per series in the Playoffs If Kawhi does Kawhi things in 5 out of 7 games Harden does Harden things in those same games It could be a brutal team to play Current Peak Harden and Current Peak Kawhi versus Current Peak Luka and Current Peak LeBron We will give the nod to Luka and LeBron but I don't think its as big a gap as one would originally think Rocket River
And if at the top you give it to Lakers , I think depth has to go to the clippers. Overall definitely one of the most skilled teams , do they have enough athleticism ?
Harden and Luka's ability to elevate other lesser players is such a plus Clippers are showing addition by subtraction with PG13 out of the mix Rocket River
The injury affected him IMO more than just physically I never watched it but horrific is what I often hear related to it The main problem with PG13 is that his position in the pecking order OKC thought he was still a #1 and he wasn't Clippers thought he could be a #2 I think Philly thought he could be a #2 as well He is now at best. . .the Third best player on a team If he is your second best player .. . your team sucks Rocket River
