I’m honestly fairly hopeful as a Clippers fan. I wouldn’t trust my feeling tho, as I will be hopeful regardless, but I see a lot to like this season already without Harden. And honestly this isn’t in panic to the loss that just happened, that was a good game and there were a lot of mitigating circumstances there to really make a judgement call. Not to mention working PJ tucker in and also missing one James Harden who will do…something good I hope.
But the Clippers really didn’t have an answer when the Lakers went huge. and I mean literally, they just had to take it in the third after the lakers were in the bonus.
The literal only impactful player from last year that we lost was Nico. It’s a noticeable loss, but he’s not completely irreplaceable.
