Clippers need 2OT and a 40 point triple double from Harden just to beat the Mavs Harden still dominating like this at his age is impressive…his longevity doesn’t get talked about enough
Win or lose, Harden is playing 40+ mins of very high usage. That ain't good for them, especially against a sorry, depleted squad like the Mavs. LOL, Harden looked completely done laying on the floor after the block that was initially called goal tending.
their next 6 games are all on the road, and Kawhi isn’t returning any time soon this stretch is basically their season
My honest opinion is the ideal thing for the Clippers is for Kawhi to return just early enough to save their season by making the playoffs (or play-in). That way he'll be as fresh as possible and hit the post-season in peak form. I believe if Kawhi plays 60+ games in the regular season, he'll be like a broken down old man in the playoffs. Even if they don't do well during this road trip, they could probably still make the play-in because both the Jazz and Grizzlies will fall off a cliff soon.
DeAaron Fox taking touches away from Wemby seems to make the Spurs worse This is the 2nd game in 3 nights they decided to try to play Small ball vs the Warriors who have no players over 6-5 and guess what .... They lost both
