Harden returns and continues to lose. Where did the Clippers lose? Tyronn Lue crossed the single-plank bridge. The first lineup should be used early.

The game between the Clippers and the Suns is also quite interesting. Everyone knows that the Clippers just played a game against the Suns, and then they played another game. In other words, the two sides played two games in a row, just like a mini series. But we have all seen the final result. The Clippers lost again and remained in a sluggish state. Harden returned and continued to lose. Where did the Clippers lose? Tyronn Lue crossed the single-plank bridge, and the first lineup should be used early.

Harden returned in this game, and everyone thought the Clippers would rebound, but the Clippers still did not avoid losing. The team continued to lose after Harden returned, and the loss was to the same team. For Harden, this game was really an ugly loss. For the Clippers, consecutive losses to opponents like the Suns are actually a good reflection of their start to the season. So how did the Clippers lose this game?

The first aspect is that there is no guarantee of rebounds. The problem for the current Clippers is already obvious. They seem to be trying hard to defend, but they cannot protect their rebounds. In this game against the Suns, the Clippers only got 27 rebounds. On the other hand, the Suns got 42 rebounds, including 13 offensive rebounds. When there is no rebound guarantee, the Clippers have no room for error and the number of offensive rounds will be reduced, which will naturally affect the overall situation of the team.

In the second aspect, Tyronn Lue is too stubborn. Why do you say Tyronn Lue is too stubborn? Just like crossing a single-plank bridge, there is only one way to reach darkness. To put it bluntly, Tyronn Lue doesn't know how to adapt. Obviously, pseudo-space points like Jones Jr. cannot be used for a long time, but Tyronn Lue is still doing it. On the other hand, when it comes to substitutions, Tyronn Lue really means to replace whoever plays well. Of course, in terms of personnel rotation, Tyronn Lue is even more difficult to say.

In the third aspect, Harden is holding back. Harden must be responsible in this game. Let's not talk about how well Dillon defended Harden. You can tell by looking at Harden's state during the game. It is really hard to describe, and he is also quite tired. Harden played 40 minutes and 37 seconds, made 4 goals in 15 shots, and only scored 13 points. It looks like he has 13 assists, but in the Clippers' current lineup, it's really hard for Harden not to score.

The fourth aspect is that the first lineup is used too late. In fact, in this game, there were times when things were unintentionally done, and that was the lineup of Batum + Collins + Harden + Zubac + Dunn, which seemed a bit late. This lineup is actually the best solution for the Clippers' current lineup. It can take care of all aspects during the game, and the overall offensive and defensive quality is also online. Let’s see if this lineup will continue to be used in the next games.
