The team looks old and slow, and they can't stop anybody. The transition defense deplorable.

I'm doing the complete 360. Surprise, surprise... They should've never made that trade.

The 27-5 run was league best but sadly it looks like Kawhi was right. They were winning on talent alone... And Ty Lue has been running Harden into the ground. I have been very unhappy with Westbrook's limited minutes all season long. 75% of his nights less than 20 and 90% of Harden nights 35+. Not what I'd envisaged when the trade went down and looks like this ploy from Lue is catching up with Harden.

The problem with Harden setting the tone for your team is how sluggish he is getting into actions. Everything is slow, he's lost the first step so he don't blow by nobody and seems reluctant to catch and shoot 3's or take middies. Is comfortable dribbling into step-backs or firing out that one pass grenade at the end of the clock but this stinks for team basketball. His effort on D has waned significantly (expected) but its his lethargy and nonchalance that seems to have rubbed off onto the team. That's their identity right now...

The gift that keeps on gifting.



Meanwhile, Worstbrook out here adding airball layup packages to the 2k arsenal.


I don't know how far this Clips squad can go, but if they can figure out their road woes, they could be dangerous.
