Paul said that he and Harden still have any tasks to complete. He was worried that the Rockets led the Warriors 3-2 in the Western Conference Finals but were reversed. If he had not been injured and missed the last two games of the Western Conference Finals, he might have touched the floor of the finals earlier and even achieved a bigger breakthrough to win the championship. On July 30, the data media StatMuse listed the NBA's historical winning rate combination list. The winning rate of the combination of Paul and Harden reached 78.6%, ranking first in history. The second place is the Warriors during Durant's time at the Dooku combination. The third place is the Bulls of the 1990s, which is when Jordan and Pippen joined forces.

Harden was at his peak at that time and was in a period of winning consecutive scoring titles. Paul is also at his peak. His joining the Rockets shared the pressure on organization and scoring.

Now Harden and Paul have both passed their peak periods, and the Clippers have become the oldest team in the league. So the question is, can the Clippers "Old Man Gang" win the championship?

Age is older, which means a decline in athletic ability and an increase in the risk of injury. This is indeed a problem faced by the Clippers in the new season. For the Clippers, they need to make good plans to avoid injuries caused by the main players being too tired in the regular season.

Fortunately, one of the Clippers' major advantages is their strong lineup depth. Their starting lineup is expected to be Harden, Bill, Kat Jr., Collins and Zubac. The Clippers' bench lineup is very strong, with Paul, Brooke Lopez, Derek Jones Jr., Bogdan Bogdanovic, Dunn, Batum and other strong players.

If coach Tyron Lu can make good use of the team's lineup depth, then the team's risk of injury can be greatly reduced. Paul came to the Clippers to relieve Harden's burden, and he served as the substitute point guard. Paul's arrival will make the Clippers' second team more combat-effective.

The Clippers' biggest enemy in the new season is injury. If they can enter the playoffs healthily, then they can completely challenge the Thunder, Nuggets and Rockets. The Clippers have rich experience, especially the introduction of Collins and Daluo, which strengthened the team's inside shortcomings and improved their combat effectiveness a lot. Don’t think that the Clippers’ “Old Man Gang” is easy to bully. The veterans did not die, but they just gradually withered. Both Paul and Harden are eager to win the championship, and they will do their best.
