  • Well this is awkward... Over our time on CZcams we have done very well by raggingon the LA Clippers and this season was no exception. We already made two videos about how the Clippers trading for James Harden wouldn't work, and then another video when it wasn't working. And while we were entirely prepared to continue our crusade... the Clippers are now the hottest team in the NBA

      "People Praise James Harden for Regular Season Success"
      - everyone, every season, for Hardens entire career.
      Here's a mystery that will puzzle you for hours: Why do those voices go quiet in May?
      Very very strange...

      The Clippers didn't need saving, they needed a healthy Kawhi playing b2bs.
      They're a .500 team without him, any way you slice it. Even ~with~ James AND Russ playing next to PG, without Kawhi the team went 2-2 this season. Team goes 42-40 in '22 when he missed the entire year.
      _I mean, you DO understand that Mr Leonard has the highest winning% in the reg and playoffs of any player in NBA history?_

    • @shaft9000
      @shaft9000 Před 3 měsíci

      ^ don't get me wrong, Harden eases the load and adds tremendous depth to the halfcourt offense...but to act like The Clippers with a healthy Kawhi couldn't have beaten the Suns to get to the Finals in '21 is just foolish and ignores a lot.
      Such as - _the bubble debacle was a sole exception that occured in a unique environment, and not a tendency of any kind._

      It is way too early to say Harden saved the Clippers. They have an unusually healthy Kwahi Leonard and Paul George. Even with Russell Westbrook the Clippers won a good stretch of games as long as those 3 were healthy and not load managing. At the end of the season and especially during the playoffs if KWAHI LEONARD AND/ OR PAUL GEORGE are out due to injury then the Clippers will go down like they did last year in the playoffs. Or go down in the playoffs seeding at the end of the year.

    Guys, your content is amazing, I see you from Spain in Europe, always looking forward seeing one of your videos, very useful for me to keep up with my english. I have been watching you since you had less than 10k subscribers and I can proudly say that you are by far the best basketball channel in You Tube. You blend NBA with the retro synth style that I love. If I could make a request, I would absolutely love to see a video about Pau Gasol and your thoughts on him, maybe comparing the Shaq and Kobe duo and the Pau and Kobe duo. I kinda feel that Pau is a little bit underrated, people forget about his FIBA performances, I recommend you check out his game against France in 2015, an absolute masterclass. Again, thank you for your amazing videos and wishing you and your blazers the best❤.

    The criticism he faced in his first few games was just absurd for me. Like you can have bad game and get criticised and all, but it was just over the top and people were trying to act like he was finished and was never that good in the first place.
    Which is just daft. This is James Harden; he is a regular season savant. Yes, he has his issues in the playoffs, but I'd argue that he's been the best and most impactful regular season player of the last 10 years. More than LeBron, more than Durant, more than Curry, Giannis, Jokic etc.
    Because in the last 10 years (pretty much from his first MVP level season in Houston till now), you give James Harden anything resembling a functional team and he will guarantee you wins. That is undeniable.
    So it's zero surprise that he's smashing it with the Clippers. This is just what he does.

    imagine the storylines if the clippers win the title. A scorned franchise perpetually in the shadow of the Lakers finally redeems itself, titleless stars from the steph-lebron era finally securing their legacy, ironically by teaming up together but not as a superteam like Lebron and Steph did.

    Some part of me believes that the Clippers still won't win the championship this year, I still believe that the best they can do this season is getting back to the WCF. With the security of Kawhi resigning and with James Harden following the same intent, that at least gives the Clippers front office some peace knowing that they can still sell tickets to fans who want to see the stars and not just because it's LA. If Paul George resigns in the off-season, then maybe they can win the championship next season.
