Harden’s First Season With The Clippers Is Over. What Are Your Thoughts About His Time Here?

He is for sure a problem, and it’s sad that we relied on him more than 213 . He needs Kai Jones to open up his game
a third option who was supposed to be playmaker but got forced to be first option because Kawhi got injured, PG was being foul prone and inconsistent as usual. He averaged 21 points, 8 assists and 4.5 rebs. Led team in stocks. He had 61 true shooting on 45/39/90. I was never fan of harden, he sometimes make the offense stagnant but it isnt like we had any other choices. He helped Zu’s game though, I never seen Zu being this good offensively through his entire time with clippers even though we always saw flashes of it. Harden did better than my expectations for him, Ty lue overplayed him through regular season though, you could have seen it in the 2nd half of the season.
Hopefully he’s a one season wonder.
That he’s still a good offensive player, but I’d be shocked if he ever won a championship where he has a significant role. Basically if he is playing more than 20 mins a game, that team aint winning a ship
Did great for his age and intended role. Nobody thought he could maintain being a #1 scoring option but still managed to do it for 2 4.5 games in the playoffs to take us to 6. Will work next season just need to figure out the 1 and 2
We knew his playoff ups and downs and he was never supposed to be the #1. Did what was expected with what he had
Nobody’s gonna argue that after Huston he’s been fishing for a championship team, nets were a disaster, 76ers too, I really was hoping he could do it with the clippers this year.. he so deserves a ring and I hope he can find a team that could deliver.
He’s good and can be a good player however just like are other 3 “stars” he is inconsistent and unreliable in big games.
He’s good but not worth the market for him. If he wants to ring chase and take a discount it wont be here. Got a feeling PG feels the same way
He did great considering what we gave up. Honestly, if I could keep one of he, Kawhi and PG, I’d keep him.
He really makes others better and is in better health.
Unironically the best player on the team
We must use him like Nets before injuries. Playmaker who can score here and there
I thought he did great once we gave him the ball. Looks like he declined or got tired towards the end of the season.
I hope he sign back with the Clippers, he’s worth around 20million to 30million
So at least the Clippers can be a contender
He was great I’d take him over PG partly because PG13 would get Clips more.
We need a coach that can draw up decent plays to avoid going on constant 5 minute scoring droughts.
Fantastic player. Third option forced to be the first option. Surprisingly good defense. Exceptional playmaking. Only person on this team who could handle the ball well and he generally shot well. Great raw numbers and also improved players like Mann and Zu with his presence but he can’t be overplayed (some games he was averaging 40+ mins).
Imo overall he was the best player on the team this season.
Ever since Harden left Houston he been wanting to play a smaller 3rd option role focusing on playmaking but always ends up having to do more than he signed up for.
Ngl tho Ion think Harden and Russ should be teammates the way things are.
Been a Harden fan since his Houston days. Say what you want, but this man right here deserves a ring. He got to Houston and instantly made them a playoff team. Willed his team to the playoffs every season, even with injured supporting casts, and was guaranteed top 3 team with homecourt advantage almost every season. Became the only legitimate threat to the KD Warriors besides the Cavs. One of the most dominant scorers in his prime. Accepted his role as a third option in Brooklyn. Took a pay cut for the Sixers to sign key pieces (which obviously backfired). This season, he’s sacrificed a lot yet again. Showed some fight. Gave this team a couple wins this postseason yet he somehow still takes some of the blame.
He can’t get over the hump all just because his teammates can’t seem to get healthy come playoff time. You can blame him for flaming out every postseason but he can only do so much. I genuinely want to see him win a ring before he retires. Somebody get this man some help.
I was not a Harden fan after how he left Houston and New Jersey, but I was pleasantly surprised by his play here. He’s not the same player he was 18 months ago (or maybe even a year ago), but he’s incredibly effective running an offense and when he’s hot, he’s still hot. I also thought, for the most part, he played better defense than I expected. I also sort of think if PG leaves he’d be a fine second option next to Kawhi. I thought they had very good chemistry together. He just needs more reliable shooters to kick out to and big men to get the ball to. My only concern is he can wait too long on the shot clock, but that’s often because his teammates don’t move eough. I really hope he comes back.
Makes basketball fun to watch
Statistically, about expected. Defensively, exceeded expectations. Results, below expectations.
Probably the perfect point guard for 213, and frank got him on the cheap.
I never thought for a second we would be healthy for the playoffs but watching them play with Harden did make me feel like we had the pieces.
