Paul George said he's 'super optimistic,' Kawhi Leonard said he's 'still confident,' James Harden was focused on the 'big picture' in wake of losses.
The first nine minutes of the Clippers’ third game with James Harden were, in the eyes of coach Tyronn Lue, “a work of art.” What, then, does that make the last 39 minutes of Friday’s 144-126 loss against Dallas, in which the Clippers’ early 12-point lead — and the window it opened into how a roster with four future Hall of Fame players can mesh — devolved into trailing by as many as 32 points on their way to a fourth consecutive loss? “What's the worst that you can be?” Lue said.
But he never scored the rest of the game, and took only three more shots, before he and the rest of the starters watched the entire fourth quarter from the bench as Lue looked ahead to a 12:30 p.m. tipoff against Memphis on Sunday. “First quarter felt really good on both ends of the ball and then from there it went downhill,” Harden said. “So trying to find a balance of not trying to step on anyone's toes, but just trying to still be aggressive and be myself.
