Worst start in 10 years! Let s go Harden! You don t owe the Clippers anything.

The Clippers currently have 4 wins and 11 losses, ranking fourth from the bottom in the Western Conference. They have the worst start in team history in the past 10 years. Let’s take a look at the Clippers’ record in the first 15 games of the season in the past 10 years: 8 wins and 7 losses in the 2024-25 season; 7 wins and 8 losses in the 2023-24 season; 8 wins and 7 losses in the 2022-23 season; 9 wins and 6 losses in the 2021-22 season; 11 wins and 4 losses in the 2020-21 season.

In the 2019-20 season, it was 10 wins and 5 losses; in the 2018-19 season, it was 10 wins and 5 losses; in the 2017-18 season, it was 5 wins and 10 losses; in the 2016-17 season, it was 13 wins and 2 losses; in the 2015-16 season, it was 7 wins and 8 losses. By comparison, you can see that this year's Clippers have had a devastating start. Even so, Tyronn Lue's coaching position is still very stable, and there is no sign of getting out of class.

What's even more worrying is that the Clippers have 1 win and 9 losses in the past 10 games, second worst in the league during the same period, only better than the Wizards who have 0 wins and 10 losses. In the past six games, Harden averaged 37.5 minutes per game, scoring 32.5 points, 8.3 rebounds and 8 assists. Harden was smoking, and the Clippers defeated the Mavericks, the third-last team in the Western Conference, in a fierce double overtime battle!

Harden started 14 games this season, averaging 35.8 minutes per game, scoring 26.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 1 steal, 0.5 blocks, 3.9 turnovers, and three shooting percentages: 44%, 38.2%, 91.3%. Harden's scoring average has set a new personal high since the 2019-20 season and a new high since he left the Rockets.

Harden's career total score is 28,027, currently ranking 11th in NBA history, only 261 points away from Anthony, who is 10th, and 569 points away from O'Neal, who is ninth. The 36-year-old Harden has done everything he can, so why are the Clippers still having a poor record? There are many reasons: Kawhi's injury, poor performance of new players, Tyronn Lue's incompetence...

Leonard has only played 6 games due to injury this season and has missed 9 consecutive games. Clippers general manager Frank revealed that Leonard not only sprained his ankle, but also suffered a severe foot sprain. As for when Leonard will return, the Clippers management is still avoiding answering. Clippers new aid Beal suffered a hip fracture and was immediately reimbursed for the season.

In this offseason, the Clippers used Powell + 1 second-round pick, 2 for 1 to get Collins! Before Kawhi was injured, Tyronn Lue had Collins on the bench and recently mentioned him as the starter. Collins started 6 games, averaging 26.3 minutes per game, scoring only 9.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 0 assists. His three shooting percentages were: 40.7%, 13.3%, and 90.9%.

Collins averaged 30.5 minutes per game with the Jazz last season, scoring 19 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. His three shooting percentages were: 52.7%, 39.9%, 84.8%. Looking at another set of data, Powell averaged 25.4 points, 4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game for the Heat this season, with a three-point field goal percentage of 49.5%. 47%, 93.3%.

Powell's average points, rebounds, three-pointers and free throw percentage per game are all career highs. In addition, Powell ranks first among the Heat in points per game. Powell scored more than 300 points in the first 12 games of his Heat career, the fastest player in Heat history to do so. As of today's pre-game, the Heat have 9 wins and 6 losses, ranking fifth in the Eastern Conference.

With Hiero injured and absent, Powell became the Heat's thigh, thanks to the Clippers' assists. Last question: Do you think the Clippers can still make the playoffs?
