“This Team Would Be 82–0”: Clippers’ Star-Studded Lineup for James Harden’s Debut Leaves NBA Fans’ Jaw-Dropped

NBA fans wait in excitement for the first performance of James Harden with the LA Clippers team. Former NBA MVP, Harden, will play his first game with his new team against the New York Knicks at the famous Madison Square Garden on Monday. One can smell the excitement in the air as Clippers supporters are anxiously waiting for the super line-up to be unveiled. Basketball circles are talking about it.

James Harden completes a lineup of legends

Clippers have assembled a team comprising the biggest stars in basketball. Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, and Ivica Zubac will comprise the starting five for the Clippers. This firework of basketball giants has sent the fans and commentators crazy.

This is what the Clippers internally always anticipated. The only surprises here could come just from those who are used to witnessing the way Westbrook played the bench role for the LA Lakers last year. However, coach Lue has exhibited that he has a blueprint of what he will do with Westbrook since February, his first day with the Clipper.

This is the same case here with Hard in the mix. Instead, Lue likes to build his team with star power and work in a staggered order after that.

This powerful mixture of talent has thrilled fans, and one can easily understand why. Nothing compares to the athleticism, ball-handling ability, and basket IQ of this lineup. This concept of five stars playing on the same court has created debates that have suggested how these stars can dominate the league. Everyone is asking if they will deliver all that has been expected of them.

Fans’ unrealistic expectations?

Some fans and analysts wonder if the expectation has grown to unreasonable proportions. An 82-0 season may seem like a possibility but is quite unlikely to occur. NBA, though, has its powerful rivals for every team. And even a team that comprises top players may find itself in trouble.

Here are some fan reactions:

“This team would be 82-0 in 2018”

“this would’ve been insane in 2018”

“Russ finally gonna get a ring”

“They gonna be unstoppable on 2k”

“Cants wait to see how this plays out”

The chemistry and teamwork do not spring up automatically, even though you have a bunch of players with experience. Although the Clippers may very well become an indomitable team, they will need to gel and adjust to each other’s game. The lineup staggers by coach Tyronn Lue may give the Clippers a competitive advantage. However, it will still take them time and practice to become complete.
