Ty Lue Delves on His Confidence on James Harden

The Los Angeles Clippers are in the midst of a two-week victory drought. Their recent addition of James Harden has not yet provided the anticipated boost. Despite Harden’s presence in four of the last five games, the Clippers are in a disappointing slump, losing all matchups and experiencing their longest winless stretch since 2017. With a current record of 3-6, they now reside in the lower echelons of their conference.

Despite the abundance of superstar talent on the roster, the Clippers are grappling with a struggle to define roles and establish a cohesive rhythm. The team’s challenges extend beyond specific on-court aspects like momentum, defensive stops, rebounding, or fast breaks. However, at its core, they are facing difficulties in the most fundamental aspect of determining an optimal lineup.

With the Clippers’ big four not meeting expectations or even the game plan, it is natural to assume that frustrations might be building in the building. However, Ty Lue made an unexpected turn before the Clippers’ clash against the Denver Nuggets. Instead of dwelling on the team’s struggles, Lue exuded confidence and optimism about the future. In response to questions about his newfound positivity, Lue explained, “Because you don’t acquire James Harden. He hasn’t played five-on-five since May. So, once he gets in a better shape and better game shape, the game slows down for him. We’re going to be good. I really do believe that and I do believe the guys we have in the locker room are good enough to win. That’s why I feel that way.”

Ty Lue raises a valid point. However, there is uncertainty surrounding James Harden’s adaptation. Regardless, the Clippers have time. Fortunately, Harden joined LA early on, enabling the franchise ample time to experiment and establish clear roles and responsibilities for their stellar lineup.
