Why is nobody talking about how hard Harden is carrying the Clippers this season?

We're not part of the media's narrative because we were supposed to fall off a cliff and die as everyone said we had the shyttiest off season when PG walked. But truth be told, I don't mind staying under the radar actually :ehh:

He's shooting 39%/35% but he's doing what's needed for that roster. They're winning because Lue is coaching his ass off and they have a bunch of guys grinding defensively, plus, Norman Powell has been awesome.

This I will say along wit Lue bringin JVG to coachin staff obviously a big influence on they defense. They the 6th ranked defense and JVG got a big part there cause the roster not that good on paper defensively.

He overdid it with trying to "play his role" like Dwyane, most times he did it very well except in very important playoff games. Harden as the main man is a different animal (in the regular season) and it seems like he's slowly finding his way back to it. It's been a while since he wasn't in KD/Embiids, hell even Kyries shadow.

James Harden does well in regular season, but when it's playoffs time? You know this very well.

Clippers don't have much of a chance at winning championship this year and they're a veteran team, that's why the media aren't covering clippers. Do they have a future star on the team? Nope.

They'll probably make the playoffs, Harden could very likely get the All Star game nod and this will be it. Same outcome as season ago, just done with a weaker roster. Impressive I guess.

If Kawhi wasn't a total street clothes joke at this point and if both of them were perfectly healthy for the playoffs, then we could talk about Clippers potentially making a playoffs run.

Clippers as a whole have exceeded my expectations so far. Too bad my man Kawhi can't do a lunge without his knee swelling up.
