6 consecutive losses and 3 losses will be the main reason! Harden leads the second half, Zubac has no defense, and Collins is lost

The Clippers lost to the Nuggets 116-130. Now the team has suffered six consecutive losses. And according to the current trend, it is very difficult for them to win a game. During this period, three players are the biggest problems.

One is Harden, who played well in the first half and helped the team maintain the lead. Unfortunately, Harden collapsed at the beginning of the third quarter. Not only was he unable to shoot, but he was also unable to drive his teammates. Now Harden is the only core point. As long as he is sluggish, the Clippers will definitely be destroyed. Unfortunately, as Harden ages and his physical fitness declines, he is unable to maintain his output throughout the game. Coupled with the Nuggets' restrictions on Harden in the second half, there is nothing that can be done about this situation. Moreover, the Clippers have collapsed in the third quarter many times this season. The main factor here is due to Harden's decline in dominance.

Zubac is also a point of criticism. He scored 18 points on 9-of-14 shooting, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks. The statistics are indeed very luxurious. Zubac is not very good at protecting rebounds and defense. Especially on the defensive end, even when defending Varan, he has no attitude. Now he is not only unable to defend three-pointers, but also unable to defend the basket. Ultimately, he is now in a strong offensive and defensive role. On the other hand, last season he was both offensive and defensive, but now his strength is declining, which will result in the Clippers not having any dominance inside. Because Lopez's performance on the defensive end is not good either.

Corinth's downturn is also disappointing. Before, he appeared on the bench and could run wild continuously. Every time he came on the court, he was a positive help. Now that he has appeared in the starting lineup, on the one hand, he does not have much possession of the ball, causing his rhythm to be disrupted. On the other hand, his comfort point with Zubac is almost the same, which makes him completely unable to adapt to the starting role. He may still be on the bench in the future, because he is of no use in the starting lineup. Tyronn Lue also promised this. Let's see if he will return to the bench in the next game, but his playing time also needs to match.
