The Clippers encountered two major problems! Coach Lu tried his best, but Harden suffered at two points, and Collins was disappointed at one point.

On November 11, the Clippers played against the Hawks at home. At the end of the game, the Clippers lost to the Hawks 102-105. It is really a pity that the Clippers lost this game. You must know that the Clippers still played very hard in this game, and the Clippers showed firepower after the game started. Later, the Clippers even led by 17 points. However, it was at this time that the Clippers began to make mistakes. When the Eagles were able to play fast in the game When attacking, the Clippers' lead was constantly being eroded, and Krejic also exploded with three-pointers in this game. Under such circumstances, the Hawks not only completed the lead, they also successfully opened up the score in the game. Although Harden carried the team later, in the end, the Clippers still had no chance to reverse and lose the game.

Now the Clippers are also encountering two major problems. The first major problem is injuries. Originally, the Clippers' lineup was good, but now with Leonard and Beal suffering injuries one after another, this really makes the Clippers miserable. Originally, the players the Clippers could rely on were limited, so when Leonard and Beal were both absent from the game, the only player the Clippers could really rely on was Harden. However, Harden did his best in the game, but in the end the Clippers still lost the game. The second biggest problem is the Clippers' mistakes. The current Clippers really can't control their own mistakes. This has always troubled the Clippers. Just like today's game, the Clippers' frequent appearances at critical moments in the fourth quarter really made the team very passive. Especially Batum's mistakes at the last moment directly caused the Clippers to lose the game.

As for Director Lu, although he has received a lot of criticism recently, in fact, Director Lu really tried his best in today's game. First of all, Director Lu finally changed the starting lineup and put Collins in the starting position. Secondly, Director Lu also Paul and Bogdan have been abandoned one after another, and Director Lu has also begun to use young players such as Christie and Brown in games. It should be said that Director Lu has made very big changes compared to before, but even so, it is still difficult to change the Clippers' decline. Although there are still some problems with Lu's on-court coaching, these things cannot completely change the Clippers. After all, the Clippers have too many flaws in their lineup strength, especially on the organizational side. I originally thought Paul could shoulder such a heavy burden, but Paul is too old and has too many flaws on the defensive end, so today's Clippers can only count on Harden alone.

At the same time, Harden suffered from two points in this game. The first point is that the Clippers were in trouble after Harden came off the court. Harden did not work hard in this game. Harden scored a triple-double of 35 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in the game. The second point is that Harden really has no helpers around him. In this game, Harden has demonstrated his personal performance to the fullest. Unfortunately, there are too few players around Harden who can stand up. Zubac also struggled in the game, so the Hawks dared to double-team Harden in the game. This situation also caused Harden's mistakes, that is, Harden used his personal ability to score some offenses, otherwise the Clippers would lose more points in this game.

There is also something disappointing about Collins. This is Collins' offense. Many people wanted Collins to start the game before. Now it is difficult for Collins to get into such a position, but Collins did not perform as he should. Although Collins was in the game They played very energetically, but it's a pity that Collins' offense is really bad, especially on the outside three-pointer. In this game, Collins' three-point score was a bad 1 of 6. You must know that the Clippers are counting on Collins to help the team open up the offensive space, but it is obvious that Collins did not do such a thing, so this also made the Clippers play very difficult. If Collins continues to start in the next game, Collins must hit more three-pointers.
