5 consecutive losses! Give up completely! Goodbye, Paul

9:08pm, 11 November 2025【Basketball】

On November 11, during the NBA regular season, the Clippers lost to the Hawks 102-105. The Clippers suffered a five-game losing streak, ranking third from the bottom in the Western Conference with 3 wins and 7 losses. The Mavericks have 3 wins and 8 losses and are second to last in the Western Conference; the Pelicans have 2 wins and 8 losses and are last in the Western Conference. Zubac said: "We could have won all the games, but we were making the same mistakes in every game."

The Clippers' bench scored only 23 points in total, and the Eagles' bench players scored 47 points in total. Hawks player Krejic played 30 minutes as a substitute, making 9 of 13 shots, 8 of 10 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, scoring 28 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, with a game-high plus-minus of +18. Krejic was born on June 19, 2000, the 37th pick in the 2020 draft.

Krejic averaged 5.8 points per game in his career and had the strongest game of his career in front of the Clippers. Leonard continues to truce, Paul and Bogdan are DNP! Harden played 38 minutes and 45 seconds, shooting 12 of 23, 6 of 14 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 35 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 blocks and 6 turnovers. In the final quarter, Harden scored 19 points and 2 assists. He really tried his best!

Before the game, Tyronn Lue said: "My responsibility is to ensure that Harden will not be overused and prevent him from playing for too long." As a result, Harden still played nearly 39 minutes! In the last five games, Harden has played more than 38.5 minutes in four of them. The Clippers signed Paul and Bill during the offseason. Unexpectedly, Tyronn Lue still had to rely on Harden!

The worst thing is that Paul was DNP (unable to play due to non-injury reasons) for two consecutive games. This is the first time in his 21-year NBA career that this has happened. In the last three games Paul played, he averaged only 1.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3 assists and 0.7 steals per game, shooting 22.2% from the field and 14.3% from the three-point range. This hit rate is really eye-catching!

Paul played 8 games this season, all as a substitute. He averaged 12.9 minutes per game, 2.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 turnovers. The shooting percentage was only 24%, the three-point shooting percentage was 26.3%, and the free throw percentage was 100%. Tyronn Lue did not respond to the matter of Paul being DNP, and it seems that it will continue...

Do you think Paul can return to the rotation? Finally, take a look at the data and tell us your feelings:
