The problems mount for the Los Angeles Clippers as they lose their fourth game straight. Importantly, three of them after the inclusion of James Harden. Fans, who expected the big-4 to dominate the west, were left with disappointment. However, the head coach Tyronn Lue seemed to have faith in his team, as he dropped a stern warning to the league despite facing a blow out loss against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Clippers already had a packed roster comprising bigwigs like Russell Westbrook, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George. When the Harden trade came through, the team’s odds at the championship skyrocketed. Contrarily, it didn’t get translated on to the court. Nevertheless, Lue’s belief on the side hasn’t subsided. Moreover, this season is yet to get warmed up. Let’s find out what HC Lue has in his store.

Despite the Luka Doncic magic, Tyronn Lue backs the Clippers

The Mavs franchise spearhead Luka Doncic dominated the court on Friday night, dropping 44 points to seal a 144-126 victory. The Slovenian star continued his dream run in the season with an average of 32.9 points per game.

In addition to that, Doncic’s new teammate, Kyrie Irving, also pitched in 27 points. On the other hand, the Big-4 produced a lukewarm performance where Kawhi Leonard was the only player to score above 20 points.

We’ll be alright. They better take advantage of it now.”

Given the nature of the league, it is too early to write off a team in the initial stages. James Harden has held the record for most assists for three seasons in a row.
