The Clippers this season are a pity. It is rare to maintain all members' health in the playoffs. Xiao Ka continued to perform as a God of War Card. Zubac was even more capable of playing against and defensive in the inside. Harden also dreamed of returning to his peak, but in the first round of the playoffs, he met the Nuggets led by Jokic, the league's number one player, and finally lost to his opponent 3-4 in the tiebreak battle. Harden's performance is still remarkable. Not only can he score independently, but he can also organize his teammates well. He is the team's offensive brain, but Powell and Bogdan's poor performances have not gone further.
