So everyone thought when James Harden got traded to the Clippers it would be a disaster but there’s one thing you must do and that’s stay patient things always take an adjustment period for stuff to fall into place and lately we’ve seen that from The Underdogs who are now on

Top in La the Clippers have won eight of their last 10 games just showing teams that they’re not to be played with as the core big three have been putting their foot on the gas as we approach the midpoint of the season the first five games after acquiring James Harden the

Team didn’t look so sweet as they lost the first five straight and Harden only poured in 15 points per game but since that little stint they have went 15 and five the main shift in this team’s success is the uptick play from James Harden I know a lot of people say the

Way Harden plays isn’t great for team ball nor is he fun to play with but I think the quite opposite sure when he was in Houston he was just playing for his own stats and trying to carry the team on his back yeah we already know that but when you watch Harden play

Nowadays you can see the versatility and adaptability in his game dishing got seven assist on two turnovers per game Harden can be a master facilitator on this team full of weapons but with his 17 points tonight converting 47% from the field and 43% from Deep if needed he

Can go get a bucket himself as well some of you might say well 17 points per game isn’t really a lot and blah blah blah but when you see him drop 18 points straight in the fourth quarter with four straight threes to go along with that

This is when you see just how capable he is of pouring in the buckets if his number is called furthermore he opens up a whole new level of options on the floor with this playmaking that make this Clippers offense run even more seamless take plays like this you can

See the Clippers are setting up a action for Harden to Route himself back to the middle of the floor so when kawhai runs through after the handoff him and Harden practically are trading places but while this is happening zubac is setting a back screen on Harden man while handing

It back off so once zubac rolls to the basket it’s an easy Lop over the top for the alyu connection Harden just makes things easier for this team with his ability to find the open man and attract multiple Defenders so when you see James get doubled on the Baseline where it

Seems like he’s in no man’s land well hey the joke’s on you as he could hit teren man on this opposite side cutting to the rim but instead he choose the even more difficult decision and drops it off the zubac through the traffic for the float over the top of the defense

Yeah what looks difficult for most is pretty easy for Harden and with his high level of Vision on the floor once he sees a Gap open up he’s more than Adept at squeezing the pass through the smallest opening for his guys to go get a bucket in close the clippers for some

Time now have needed get that true point guard presence who can get this offense going in a flow State and with James you not only get that but you get a guy who can turn it on and go get Buckets as well when you add a guy of this caliber

Next to kawii Leonard Paul George and even Russell Westbrook this is when things get dangerous although this team or sh out say kawhai and PG fail to be able to stay healthy people tend to forget when they are in good condition and share the floor together it’s

Literally a nightmare for the other team like come on bro we’re talking about two two-way Wing forwards who can all out do everything on on the floor which makes them extremely difficult to stop together this season at the time recording this video they have both

Shared the court in 25 out of the 30 games so as of now it looks like they’re on the right track now he may not show the most emotion or make it look all flashy but people tend to sleep on Kawai as he’s still the best player on this

Team and can be considered as one of the top players in the league right now as we’re 30 games into the season kaai has only missed three games so far and he’s putting up 24 points a night six rebounds and three assist on 52% shooting from the field and 43% shooting

From Deep when you look at players who average at least 20 points while shooting 50% from the field and 40% on threes kawhai is in good conversation as at the time of recording this video the only other names are LeBron James Tyrese halberton Carl Anthony towns and Kevin

Durant so yeah to say that kawhai is back in full form wouldn’t really be wrong for years and I mean years we’ve seen him go through injuries and injuries while his teams never really went deep into what was going on with him which did make fans start to think

He didn’t care about being out there on the court but but as of now hopefully everyone can see that kawhai is still performing at a high level he just genuinely needed that time to get back right like we talked about earlier bringing in a former League MVP and three-time scoring champion James Harden

Not only does it take some of the scoring load off of Kawai but also with him being able to work off Harden it makes it that much easier for him to flow right into his game this goes for the smooth scorer in Paul George as well

Because when we look at how many times PG was bringing up the ball last year this number sat at 20 possessions per game which was the highest in the season for him but since acquiring Harden you can see the number has significantly dropped as he down to about 13

Possessions a game this not only takes a load of pressure off of him but it’s lowered his turnovers from three a game to just two so when you want to talk about a shift in numbers with just one piece added make sure you bring up the Clippers and James Harden so far this

Season PG is averaging 23 points on 45% shooting from the field and 40% from Deep this right here is such a good thing to see from George as he is a major go-to option for the team when they need a bucket so to see him be so

Efficient is a great sign just looking at this Duo stats alone it should have everyone excited for the future as we’ve never really got to see these two operate on the court at a high level for extended periods of time but if we’re being honest it looks like this season

We will all get to witness it now there is something and someone we must cover and that is Russell Westbrook in the most recent years Westbrook has been passed around the league like a joint and talked about like he’s a dead beat baby daddy both of these are very unfair

As Westbrook has been giving each team his full efforts and constantly has tried to be a good addition to the locker room it seems as if everywhere he has went he’s been the scapegoat for the problems and was the burden of the jokes but ever since joining the Clippers it’s

Been the complete opposite Russ has shown his ability to be a great team player who adds a tremendous amount of value and in my opinion one of the best things and most selfless things he’s ever done is request to take the backseat to this Trio of James Harden PG

And kawhai so they could figure things out while he comes off the bench not only does he give these three more space and opportunities on the court but with him coming off the bench with the second unit he’s able to be that spark plug while not letting his team fall off a

Cliff when the big three come out the game now does he have the potential to be a solid starting point guard of course but honestly he’s an even better option when coming off the bench only playing 24 minutes per game Russ is averaging 11 points six rebounds and

Four assists and if sinking the buckets had an effective rate of 46% from the field but a poor rate of 27% from Deep now we all already know Russ isn’t necessarily known as a floor spacer so the lack of three-point shooting isn’t a super red flag as Russ’s center point of

Value is simply how hard he plays on the court whether it’s against a bottom team like the Pistons who need to be in the g-league or if it’s against a Powerhouse in the Denver Nuggets Westbrook is going to go out there every night and put his

All on the line this is someone you want on your team because not everyone plays as hard on a consistent basis so it’s very hard to find a player like this around the league for the Clippers a lot of people like to say they have a big

Three but hey when you actually think about it they actually have a big four so say whatever you want about Russ but no one can sit here and deny his value he has to this team this LA Clippers team has the piece to do something special and down below in the comments I
