James Harden Saved The Clippers

James Harden Saved The Clippers

So the Clippers are red hot right now and I think I can speak for both of us and say this is a team we always believed in ever since the Harden trade we’re like the Clippers this is going to work perfect oh we’ve always loved the Clippers and just don’t bother checking

The videos that were uploaded to this channel on November 3rd or November 17th just don’t bother don’t fact check those we have always loved the Clippers Before we start talking about Harden in the Clippers if you haven’t already make sure you leave this video a like give us a subscribe and hit that notification Bell so you never miss out on one of our videos so the Clippers yes they just

Beat the Thunder to move to 26 and 14 on the season that’s good enough for the fourth seed in the west they’re only two and a half games out of the first seed also I found it hilarious that news broke during the middle of the second quarter that James Harden apparently

Wants a long-term deal to end his career with the Clippers I think it was Chris Haynes who broke the news and I was like he’s on the court right now where did you get this I don’t know but credit to the Clippers front office they got that quiet deal apparently Harden Paul George

Coming soon and the new Arena like things are looking pretty good for that franchise and we got to address the elephant in the room we made a couple of videos early in this year uh claiming that the James Harden trade would not save the Clippers and at the time of the

First video hard had just quit his way off his third straight team and at the time of the second video the Clippers were 0 and with Harden he wasn’t playing particularly well the lineup of kawhai PG Harden and Russ was unsurprisingly not working and we’ve done pretty well

During our time on YouTube of hating on the Clippers it’s kind of become a tradition so we were fully prepared to do it some more but on this day you just can’t do it I can’t do it yeah then the two people that deserve a ton of props

Are obviously Russ for coming off the bench you know being willing to do that in the past maybe he wouldn’t have been willing to but credit to us for that and then Ty for figuring it out he took him like you know whatever six to eight

Games but he saw the adjustments and he made them and I think tyo one of the best coaches in the league if anyone was going to make it work it was going to be him and they have soared since moving Russ to the bench had a nine game

Winning streak in December 23 and seven since then that’s the best record in the NBA over that time period they were 11th in offensive rating before making the change they’ve been third since they made the change and look moving R to the bench you know that obviously helped but

The sleeper move here Daniel Ty you know he’s just a veteran can play defense he’s tough in there coming off that fever World Cup win with Germany great move for them yeah bring in Daniel Ty you go 23 and seven over 30 games it’s just how it works it’s what he does yeah

More teams should have hopped on that I guess it’s just as simple as that for real though moving rust of the bench has been a godsend for this team not because he was playing poorly but it lets Harden operate as the primary ball handler and

That’s the role it kind of seems like he wants at this point in his career it’s really weird considering the the guy used to be legitimately the best scorer in the NBA and now he kind of wants to be like a Steve Nash type yeah it is

Weird but he was always a great point guard and Terence man obviously a way better fit in the starting lineup over Russ but what have we said for like four years with this Clippers team obviously injuries but they needed a damn point guard and James Harden out there has

Opened things up for Paul George and kawhai so much they’re playing some of the best basketball theyve played with the Clippers so far and also you mentioned like with the Terren man thing like he doesn’t a usage rate of 20% that helps like he doesn’t need the ball he

Can get his points here and there he can play defense like it’s just it’s a better fit and like you said with Harden running the point I mean Paul George has had a great year the entire year and kawhai L we forget had a pretty bad start to the season he’s been doing

Awesome sense and also I do want to point out it’s interesting to note that neither kawhai or PG have really load managed much this season and yet neither has really suffered an injury load management literally does not work it doesn’t it doesn’t prevent injuries it doesn’t help you get to the playoffs or

Anything it just flat out doesn’t work I could have seen an argument for it working back when teams had like 15 backto backs a year right now when they have like three like if you load manage a game you might be off for like 5 days

And your body goes cold in that time like playing the game a lot like keeps you in a rhythm keeps you warm like if you take that much time off I always feel like you’re more liable to get injured and Ty I remember you had that

Conversation he was like I talked to PG I talked to kaai we got to take the regular season serious this year and CR to them they actually have for once and I don’t want to downplay Russ’s impact on this team either because honestly he’s been really solid Off the Bench

Again major props the man who was a former All-Star former MVP you know having the humility and the grace to be like you know what I’ll come off the bench for the better of the team and his numbers are down but that’s cuz he’s playing 10 minutes less per game but

He’s still giving you 10 points 5 and a half boards four and a half assists he gets to be the primary ball handle for the second unit instead of trying to jam a round a round peg into a square hole trying to fit him in the starting unit

Yeah and also so they swapped out roko and Nick who are still fine players former Blazers love them dearly yeah Nick’s actually been playing pretty well for the 76ers so credit to him but I think it helps that they finally have at least a couple young players they got

Air coffee in there he’s been playing some solid defense so a little bit more youth maybe the near P of course this is a Clippers video so we can’t be entirely positive about them and you know there’s still some concerns with this team obviously injuries this is an old team

Kawhai Paul George Russ Harden all of them are over 32 years old all of them have struggled a lot with injuries I mean kawhai hasn’t played a full playoff since 2020 PG hasn’t played a full playoff since 21 and Harden of course has the everpresent hamstering injury

From hell so you got to worry about one of them picking up an injury at some point honestly until Ki plays a full playoffs like I’m not I’m still going to doubt it I still think he’s going to get injured I hate to say it I don’t want to

See it happen but I just feel like they’re going to be rolling we’re going to get to the playoffs and then Ka somehow tears miniscus or something it happens every year I mean the last last year Kawai played a full playoff series we were still in college exactly it’s

Been 4 years and it sucks even more it’s not like when he is playing he’s like whatever he played those two games against the Suns last year bowled the hell out and then was just done they probably beat the Suns if he plays yeah I think they might have even without

Paul George also we got to mention the front Court dep it’s not terrible but look at the teams they’re going to have to beat the Timberwolves the Nuggets maybe even the Lakers I don’t know if their front core death is going to done yeah I mean they’ve already lost twice

To the Lakers I mean both games were close and didn’t have Harden for the first game but still I think ad had 20 and 10 in both games shot over 50% in both games interestingly enough they’ve actually played joic better than probably anybody in the two games yic

Has played against the Clippers this year he’s only shooting 31% he had that one game where he shot 9 to 32 and still got a triple double somehow but I mean over a seven game series I don’t expect Ty plumbley and zubac to be able to

Contain yic and if you look at their depth right now they just got Mason plumbley back from injury but now zubot is injured and he’s out for at least four weeks yeah at least these guys are veterans they’re not like young guys you’re trusting on they’ve played in the

Playoffs before so it’s not like a huge concern but you know against joic they might get torched then again that’s kind of a concern for everybody yeah we say that about literally every team so what can you really do and finally James hard in the playoffs look I’ll believe it

When I see it exactly until it happens I’m not going to buy into the regular season hype we’ve seen it for years he plays well in the regular season and then he comes in and lays a bunch of eggs in the playoffs if he does it I’ll

Give him all the props in the world but until he does it I’m not going to buy into it here’s the thing this year he might not need to ball the hell out like with embiid embiid was injured last year he kind of had to play some herob ball a

Couple games as long as Paul George and Quai stay healthy and there he’s like the third option he might not need to ball out he could just put up like 20 and 10 a night and they’ll still get victories but if one gets injured they might be screwed but hey the Clippers

Are playing really well right now and you know what if they keep it up maybe we’ll make a full apology video for them in a couple months and again if they crash and burn you can bet we’ll be right back here hey non again yeah and I

Feel like that might happen so we’ll we’ll just see we’ll see what happens that’s the video guys how far do you think the Clippers can go this year I’d love to hear what you had to say in the comments down below if you enjoyed the video consider leaving a like as it
