The current situation of the Clippers: no tactics, no defense, no offense, pure three without products!

The Clippers are now a retirement and re-employment nursing home, and living life is more important than anything else. The Clippers now have Batum taking care of himself, Paul taking care of himself and retiring, Kawhi taking care of himself and his health, and Bill looking at the boss taking care of himself and me doing the same. Tyronn Lue is also providing for his retirement. The team does not dare to fire me anyway. Boss Ballmer is also providing for his retirement. I have more money and you can take care of it. I am free to do so.

The only dynamic rookies spent today replacing Paul with Christie, which only lasted a few minutes. The whole team looks like they are out of breath. You pass the game to me and I pass it to you. Even when I am tired, I want others to shoot. I still maintain my previous view. Now that the rebuilding players are sold, there are still some first and second rounds. By 27 years, there will be nothing.

Tell me how you feel about the Clippers so far. Let me talk about the conclusion first, so that no player is to blame, only the team management is to blame. A hot topic now is why the trade was made at that time. I wonder what the current situation of the Clippers has to do with the trade of Alexander back then. There is a high probability that Alexander will not be able to succeed under the leadership of Rivers in the Clippers. Don't always push forward from now. It is not logical in itself.

The real bad start of the Clippers was the Harden trade. It’s not that Harden is not good, but that the deal has deviated from the Clippers’ team’s style of play. In the past few years, they were proud of their forward group. They brought in Harden and replaced all the forwards. They also brought in the loser Tucker, and Tucker did not play a good role and destroyed the team atmosphere. The good Northern Expedition that year was interrupted.

After that, the Clippers began a series of frivolous operations. They first renewed Leonard's contract in advance, and Leonard stopped playing after the renewal. If George is let go for nothing, everyone will say that George is bad, but George can at least guarantee a minimum output of about 20 points, can help defend and control the ball. If not, it will be no problem to sign and then trade, and he will have to open up to the Lions.

The other is to let Westbrook go. Although Westbrook plays some unreasonable balls, Westbrook can drive the team's rhythm. He is also cheap and occasionally brings surprises. Last year's Clippers rarely had bench players explode, but before Westbrook, he would often bring surprises to the team alone. Later, Mann and I were moved away to pick a pile of garbage in the market. At that time, the shipyard was able to treat Simmons as a treasure, which was also outrageous.

Let’s look at this year’s lineup. Isn’t this just a senior team on the field? Beal is such a waste in the Suns. They don’t want Powell and want Beal. What kind of operation is this? Last year’s regular season without Powell’s production was probably at the end of the play-offs. This year’s team’s strength is only in the middle and lower reaches of the league.

Looking at the current ship, you are talking about rebuilding, but there is no chance of rebuilding. The best time for rebuilding was the year before last. Renewed Leonard and George Harden and directly traded them all while they still have a certain value. The current Leonard Harden cannot be sold at a good price, let alone other players, so this team has basically been useless in the past few years.

Whether changing the coach can solve the Clippers' problems, I think there are more problems now. Changing the coach may not have an obvious effect. First of all, the problem in the Clippers locker room should not be big. There is no rumor of any conflicts. The main problems are.

1. Without the ball handler and Harden's substitute, Paul's fuel tank is really running out. Being DNP today is the beginning, and it will happen again in the future. And after Harden comes off the court, there is no offensive initiator and ball handler, and the Clippers often collapse at this time.

2. The overall defense has declined. Because the Clippers' core rotation members are older, move slowly, and cannot keep up on defense, Jones and Dunn are better defensively, and Zubac is good inside. Once they encounter pick-and-roll defenders like Curry and Doncic, they basically let go. If you don't go out, Collins is okay, and he can reach the mid-level level if he practices hard. Leonard feels that his defense has dropped after losing weight this season. Bill, Harden, Luo, etc. are all mentioned, especially Harden's perimeter is really not good. Compared with last season, it is really not a bit worse.

3. There are too many mistakes. To be honest, this is due to the lack of ball handlers and poor coordination. The Clippers have really made countless mistakes this season, especially in the third quarter, which is basically a series of mistakes. I think the coaching staff and players really have problems with this, and it is not a small one.

I think the above three points are the most prominent problems, but I think changing the coach on these three points is to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. Tyronn Lue’s assistant coaching team is not bad, and defensive coaches like Van Gundy are still not good at defense. This means that the relationship with the coach is not big, but it cannot be said that it does not matter at all.
