How The Los Angeles Clippers Are About To Get ALOT Better!
My goodness the Los Angeles Clippers have been playing out of their damn Minds lately but what if I told you that they’re about to get a whole lot better with one secret move stick around to find out what it is the Clippers have surprised everyone this year after the
James Harden trade and the crazy thing is no one especially sports analyst and media members thought it would work hell even Kyle kozma of all people came out and said he didn’t believe it would work yeah maybe he just needs to stick to his wild choice of clothing rather than
Spitting out wild takes but all jokes aside I don’t think anyone was actually personally against this Harden and Clippers partnership working just because they dislike James Harden it was just due to what we’ve seen in the past Super teams have failed time and time again over the past several years
However it’s apparent that this isn’t the case with this particular super team James Harden is the system the Clippers will only go as far as he takes them he’s averaging 17 points and eight assists per game while shooting over 45% from the field and 40% from three on 6
And 1 12 attempts now is he putting up 30 plus points like he did in Houston obviously not but I can make an argument that this version of James Harden is more beneficial for the Clippers than Prime James Harden the reason being is that current James Harden is a lot and I
Mean a lot more team oriented as far as getting guys involved and not having to ISO players like 95% of the game now sure Houston James Harden was an incredible player to watch he was a perennial Allstar a scoring champion and a player capable of dropping 50 points
On any given night Houston revealed the IND visual town of their star but as the seasons unfold an undeniable truth began to surface Harden’s greatness as a score did not necessarily translate to team success the Rockets under Harden’s leadership became synonymous with a style of play that revolved heavily
Around isolation basketball the term ISO ball became Inseparable from Houston’s identity and while it showcased Harden’s one-on-one ability an ability so great that some of the best young scorers in the NBA today try to mimic it it raised questions about the team’s ability to contend for championships the isolation
Heavy offense centered around Harden’s remarkable ability to handle and shoot the rock often left teammates as mere Spectators often just standing in the corner staring at harden dribble at the clock for 24 seconds while Harden scoring numbers were gudy and his highlight reels were reminiscent of that of Michael Jordan victories in the
Postseason remained elusive the Rockets found themselves facing tougher opponents in the playoffs and the isolation heavy approach seemed to hit a wall critics argued that that style play focused on Harden’s isolation exploits made the Rockets predictable and easier to defend in playoff settings opponent’s devised defensive scheme specifically
Aimed at containing Harden knowing that disrupting his rhythm could disrupt the entire Houston offense The Narrative of Harden’s greatness as a score contrasting with Team success reached a pivotal moment the Rockets faced tough playoff losses and questions about the sustainability of the iso heavy approach became louder Harden to his credit
Shouldered a significant offensive burden but the team’s inability to advance deep into the playoffs prompted discussions about the need for a more balanced offensive system as the seasons progressed Houston attempted to adapted style bringing in different coaches and complimentary pieces to support Harden however the challenge remained now that
He has Kawai and Paul George and Norman pal who’s a solid role scorer he can take his time and just play Within the flow of the offense and no longer feels like he has to score 50 to win which is terrifying if you’re the opposing team you never want players who have Harden’s
Ability to be comfortable the game is already easy enough to him as it is now it’s even easier he’s picking apart teams efficiently that 40% from three on 6 and 1 half attempts is a GameChanger this team is the definition of pick your poison but while his shooting has been
Elite his playmaking and facilitating is what undoubtedly took this team to another level we all knew since PG-13 and Kawhi landed in la8 they would need a true point guard after many failed point guard experiments they have finally found their guy and I don’t think people truly understand how easy
Elite facilitators make the game for their teammates it’s kind of like when you were in school doing a huge project and you had the extremely smart kid doing all of the work while all the other kids had to do was turn in the project it’s the exact same scenario
Harden’s going to do all of the setting up and making sure everyone’s in their correct spots on the floor and all everyone else has to do is make their Threes And if you’re a big man make your layups and dunks around the rim after Harden sets you up with a beautiful dime
George hasn’t been talked about enough either he’s playing the most perfect brand of basketball you could ever ask for from your second option no seriously he’s averaging 23 5 and three while shooting over 40% from three impressive numbers and he’s looking more like the number one option this season he is the
Definition of a bucket getter he has one of the deepest bags in the NBA and honestly it isn’t talked about enough there isn’t a player his height who can dribble better than the majority of point guards in the NBA maybe outside of Jason Tatum I once heard someone say
That Paul George is basically who hyrie would be if he was 6’9 and that might just be true George’s handles are so great because of his insane counter moves every NBA player trains counter moves but only a few are able to translate that in game against Elite Defenders he’s just in another world
Right now it doesn’t matter what Elite defensive stopper you throw at him he’s going to make him look silly his ball handling skills are so Elite that he can create tons of separation from any Defender and then you add in the fact that he’s a natural born tough shot
Maker and he’s 6’9 and can see over pretty any defender in the NBA and you can see why it’s almost impossible to contain this man one-on-one and a side note I really hate to say defensive stopper in today’s game sometimes I feel sorry for players like Drew holiday
Dylan Brooks herb Jones and OG they literally have to guard the opposing team’s best score every single game for the entirety of the game just imagine having to guard Steph Curry on a Monday shy gilis Alexander on a Wednesday KD on a Friday and Luca donic on Sunday and
Having that responsibility for literally an entire 82 games a season it’s just insane and speaking of Defense George has been an elite Defender he’s averaging 1.6 steals per game and getting his hands on a lot of deflections his size and amazing defensive instincts not only make him
One of the most dangerous offb players in the league but also a really good on ball Defender when he needs to be like I said he has been perfect and you can’t mention the words perfect in defense in the same sentence without Mr kawh Leonard himself the cyborg is doing
Exactly what he normally does and that’s leading winning teams he’s averaging 23 6 and three while shooting a ridiculous 44% from Deep he’s become even more efficient after the arrival of Harden he’s seeing a lot of open Catch and shoot opportunities and even a little more isolation situations in his sweet
Spot in the mid-range due to the defense not being able to double team them with Harden and George on the floor too and then one player on this roster who makes this team a fan favorite is none other than Russell Westbrook I think I speak
For all of us when I say that Russ is happy we’re all happy the energy he bring rings on the floor and in the locker room has been contagious all of his teammates love him both Paul and kawhai have spoken highly about Russ dozens of times in like the last month
Alone it seems if anything this season shows how your mental can affect your performance and total impact on the game itself during his stint with the Lakers he was awful defensively and was leading the NBA in turnovers he rarely smiled in postgame interviews and looked drained
Out there on the court lifeless at times it’s a totally different year with the Clippers he’s a much better person on both ends of the floor and honestly I don’t think I’ve seen him not smile this season he is the heart of this team and the franchise right now then players
Like ivit zubot and Terrence man have been good in their roles but the Clippers may look to make one final move to basically guarantee a trip to the NBA finals it’s been reported that they’re in the market for a versatile forward or a center to add more depth and
Reliability three candidates that would make the Clippers even better than they are now are Jeremy Grant Kyle Anderson and Nick Richards Jeremy Grant is making a lot of money so my trade scenario would involve four players to match his salary Terrence man PJ Tucker Brandon Boston Jr and Kobe Brown would be enough
To bring him to La the Trailblazers have their guard spots filled with Anthony Simons and Scoot Henderson and Malcolm Brogden and their Center Spot is filled with DeAndre Aon and Robert Williams when he returns The Wing Spot is definitely a spot they could look to add
More death to as for the Clippers Grant would be a phenomenal pickup he’s averaging 21 points per game while shooting 40% from three he would put the Clippers over the top with his shooting shot creation ability and versatile defense Kyle Anderson would be a cheaper option and can provide a lot of what
Grant provides defensively but Grant is a much better option overall Nick Richards isn’t a name anybody is probably familiar with but trust me he is a very solid athletic center who can protect the rim and rebound well so that could be a very underrated move but
There you go that’s why we think the Clippers could be heading for a championship do you think they should trade for one of these three players or do you think they have enough right now to make a trip to the finals let us know your thoughts down below thanks for

Grant would be perfect but they not giving up Mann so that’s out, I don’t see t wolves moving Anderson just because they like the roster and don’t see them making they’re possible playoff opponents better. Nick is the perfect choice but only if they can take PJ Tucker and Kobe brown or Boston. If not keep the roster as it is.
They should get Torrey Craig and Thybulle and maybe sign Kai Jones
Clips just need to get Zu back
i like this channel
To anyone who knows basketball rules that move at 3:38 looks so ugly, to make so many steps on a step back, that is so ugly to watch.
Finally my clippers getting talked about more than other teams
Our bench is key. U never know if Russ or Powell score 17+ points any night even coffee ☕️ can give u 12 Theis 8 and 8 we already know the starters 🔥🔥 leave Staples with a Ring 💍
They just need another real center, not zuba's. You need somebody like a Dwight, Howard. He's not gonna interrupt the 3.9. He's gonna stay in the paint. You need a true center. Go get that kid from the hornets. He won't distruct the chemistry that They already have
tmann is part of the success rn
Nah we got a first rounder pj Tucker and bones Hyland why not get a stretch 4 or defender? Someone gotta guard Jokic Zu a in the paint defender and get Kelly olynk John Collins or miles bridges
Last 2 season I'd really commented every clippers news in Facebook that they needed a point guard like Harden. And it's happen now 👌🤞
You forgot powell
Sit tight! They have enough and more importantly great chemistry! Go Clippers!
let's go clippers
Kawhi even hasnt activate his playoff mode.
No, the Clippers will go as far as Kawhi takes them. As PG stated in his podcast, Kawhi is the safety valve, the guy to get you a bucket in the crunchiest of times. The Clippers floundered when Kawhi was out.
