Clippers need to win this one to avoid a three game losing streak and also because they have their own b2b the next day at the Pelicans.
There are superstars all over the NBA putting their teams on their back like this. Very little hero ball [in its best sense] from our Big Three, let alone the occasional role player breaking out once in awhile. [Mann has broken 20 only once, Zu twice, Powell over 25 just once.]
Harden hit 35 once in December and 30 only once since. PG has scored 30 only once since January, and only 6 times all year. There are 3 guys AVERAGING over 30 [Luka, Shai, Giannis] and PG is only 29th at 21.3.
Superstars are supposed to be super. Ours are...meh. Games are WON in this league, not lost. That's why I've never been into the blame game. Stand up or fall out.
Are you dogging Kawhi again in your thinly veiled attempt? When we were on that tear, Kawhi was averaging how many points per game? You bring up superstars from other teams showing what they average when compared to our own?
How many times has Kawhi put this team on his back this season? Averaging 30 ppg is a mark of an offensive player who's team needs that scoring EVERY GAME. The clippers have multiple scoring options so any one superstar cannot average a high number.
The only issue I have is with PG. In Kawhis absence the guy has been total ass not deserving an AS spot. I didn't know what to expect from Harden but as far as a point guard goes, he's done a decent job.
As far as the overall team achievement goes, THAT FALLS SOLELY ON TY LUE.
Yeah he doesn't score or miss free throws but he's responsible to get the team prepared and play for 48 minutes.
Throwing idiotic lineups to see what sticks comes from a guy coaching youth league. Not in the NBA.
Actually I wasn't dogging Kawhi. I was just propping him. I was talking about the others. Do you really read this board?
As for the rest tl;dr
Ty sucks same old same ol yawn
Enjoying the game?
