The Clippers are now 4-7 since trading for Harden, or 0-1 in his "ready" state.

Memes aside, he was okay this game, but okay isn't good enough when you're with a fully healthy Clippers vs a Reggie Jackson-led Nuggets.

Harden isn't exactly playing terribly as a Clippers, but at this point in his career, it's hard to justify an offence-first player on a team as offensively stacked as the Clippers when they're in desperate need of some more off-ball movement.

Harden is looking to secure a max extension, we'll have to see what kind of contract he can muster as he gets more into game shape as the season progresses.

Unserious team. A lot of people are saying they just dont have it anymore. And if by „it“ they mean motivation, i completely agree. They have the skills and theyre still athletic enough to compete. To me that is without question. They just dont care. It feels like they have given up on this entire project and are just sailing into the sunset with their millions in tow.

They looked serious to start the year. It's almost like something changed...

Russ might not be better than Harden, but he gives a shit. Hopefully Russ can find a way to drive the team from the bench rather than on the court.

Injuries change people. It's not just physical. They could be scared to play hard and risk another long rehab.

It seems like they all signed on expecting the others to carry the weight. And now no one is carrying the weight.

Ironically they could use someone like Harrell

As much as I disliked him, at least he got mad and tried haha

When they lost their bev Liu will harrell identity they became much less annoying but also lost that dog
