The Clippers lost in a row and Harden was unable to survive alone. The 9+7 inside line showed inefficiency. The 37-year-old forward Lian Po is too old.

Although the Clippers have been going high and low in the past few seasons, they have fallen off the mark once they reach the playoffs and have never been able to win the championship. At least they are still a strong team. But since the start of this season, the Clippers have fallen faster, especially Leonard and Bill. The attendance rates of these two stars are appalling, and the Clippers' strength has been significantly weakened.

After losing to the Hawks at home, the Clippers are still in a losing streak. Harden is alone in this battle, and his personal performance is already outstanding. You must know that after joining the Clippers, Harden actually acted more as a commander, guiding his teammates, but no one on the Clippers could score in this game, and Harden had to carry the banner. In the end, he scored 35 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. Even Harden was very strong on the defensive end. He blocked 2 shots. If Harden hadn't been active and forced the suspense of the game to continue, the Clippers might have surrendered long ago.

And the insider John Collins, who joined this summer, performed quite well in the first few games. But in this game against the Hawks, John Collins was extremely ineffective. He only scored 9 points and 7 rebounds on 3 of 11 shots. So if John Collins can't open up the offense, it will basically have side effects on the court, because he is really not good at defense. Even if John Collins works hard to make up for it, the effect is really average. He committed 4 fouls in 31 minutes.

At the same time, Nicolas Batum will celebrate his 37th birthday next month, but the forward can be said to be old. In fact, in the past few seasons, Nicolas Batum has often played the role of a low-income player, but now he is too old. In this game, he made 1 of 5 shots and only scored 2 points and 4 rebounds. Even so, the Clippers coaching staff still trusted Batum at critical moments and insisted on keeping him on the court. But Batum failed to live up to expectations. He got a potential winning chance, but was intercepted by Hawks Krejic, which directly led to the Clippers' defeat.

Of course, except for Harden, most of the Clippers players performed similarly, and no one stood out. Especially in the second team competition, the Hawks have a surprise player like Krejic, who scored 28 points at every step. Substitute center Okongwu also performed well, contributing 10 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. This is in sharp contrast to the Clippers. The four substitutes who played together only scored 23 points, which was not even as good as Krejic's personal contribution. It can only be said that the Clippers now have a lot of bastards in the lineup.
