The most overrated coach in the league! He has 5 former All-Stars and is only 10th in the Western Conference. It’s time to dismiss him.

On November 5, the NBA regular season continued. In the just-concluded game, the Clippers lost to the Thunder 107-126. Many fans may have guessed such a result. After all, Leonard announced his absence due to injury before the game, and the team was far inferior to its opponents. Harden really tried his best in this game. He scored 22 points in the first half and led the team to maintain a weak lead.

However, Harden was obviously out of physical strength in the second half. On the other hand, the Thunder gradually established the lead under the leadership of Alexander. In this campaign, Alexander made 9 of 14 shots and 5 three-pointers. In 4, he scored 30 points, 4 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 blocks. If Alexander shoots such a three-point efficiency, it will be impossible to guard. Under his series, 6 Thunder players scored in double figures in this campaign. Isaiah Joe scored 22 points on the bench.

Harden burned out this game. He made 7 of 17 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, and scored 25 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists. We really can't let Harden do too much. This game is similar to the previous loss to the Heat. Harden gave everything in the first half and lost his physical fitness in the second half. It is normal for such problems to occur at his age. What the team has to do is to find enough helpers for Harden to share the pressure with him.

Both Bill and Leonard are absent in this game. It seems that Harden's best helper is Zubac, followed by Collins. Zubac encountered strict defense from his opponent in this game. The Thunder also knows that if they want to defeat the Clippers, they must be strict. Against Zubac, he made 3 of 8 shots from the field and scored 7 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. Collins performed very well in this campaign. He made 5 of 8 shots from the field and scored 17 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. The efficiency was excellent, but he did not have much playing time and only played 24 minutes.

With Leonard absent, the team no longer has an outstanding No. 4 position. It stands to reason that Collins should be allowed to play longer. Why didn't Tyronn Lue do this? Because of his stubbornness, Tyronn Lue has been criticized by fans for his stubbornness since the beginning of this season. Kawhi Kawhi was injured. It was justifiable for Collins to enter the starting lineup. However, he let Batum start and did not give Collins more opportunities. It was a waste of money.

Harden is so tired, let Paul play more to share the pressure? Neither does Tyronn Lue. Recently, Paul has gradually moved into a marginal rotation role. Although Paul is old, his passing and experience can still help the team. But looking at it now, Paul may eventually fall to DNP. Paul played 11 minutes in this game and scored 1 rebound and 3 assists. The Clippers' loss is understandable. After all, the Thunder are too strong, but such a loss is unacceptable.

Everyone has always used the aging lineup of the Clippers as an excuse to say that they are not physically fit. In fact, this is not the real reason. The real reason is that Tyronn Lue did not make good use of their lineup.

Bill, a player who averaged 30+ per game in his peak period, is now at his peak age. Tyronn Lue lets him work as a blue-collar player. Collins can be the starting power forward for any team in the league. As a result, Tyronn Lue lets him work as a substitute. An old center like Luo Luo, who was almost out of step, turned out to be Tyronn Lue's favorite. After he came on the court, he not only took up Zubac's playing time, but the team's defense was also not good. Tyronn Lue, a famous coach, has always been overrated. Even we can see the problem, but he insists on being stubborn.

Stubbornness has always been a problem for Tyronn Lue. Back then, he became a famous coach because of the presence of James. However, after leaving the Cavaliers and joining the Clippers, everyone saw that the team's record was not ideal. Many times, his ability to adapt to the situation made people feel speechless. His best tactic was to rely on a player named James. He used to be LeBron James and now is James Harden. I think Tyronn Lue will be dismissed soon if this continues.

So far since the start of the season, the Clippers have 3 wins and 4 losses, ranking tenth in the Western Conference. Although there are still very few games, the Clippers will lose when facing strong teams. This also exposes their problems. The team's offense and defense are not ideal. They have The five former All-Stars Harden, Paul, Leonard, Beal, and Luo Luo, as well as close All-Star players like Zubac and Collins, can be said to be quite luxurious. This summer, the US media also predicted that they will be a championship lineup.

As a result, there was no chemical reaction at all. There was a detail in today's game. Jones fouled Alexander's thug, and Tyronn Lue wanted to challenge it. At that time, he discussed it with deputy coach Van Gundy, but Van Gundy shook his head with disgust and refused to discuss it with him. It's an obvious foul, what's the point of the challenge? Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Clippers? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
