Recently, American reporter Michael Pina participated in Zach Lowe's podcast, during which he talked about the Clippers' situation.

"The Clippers currently rank 16th in the league on offense and 20th on defense. Their net rating is negative, and the team's net rating drops significantly when Kawhi and Harden are on the court at the same time. Collins' performance is not bad, and the effect of partnering with Luo is as expected. However, they rank 28th in free throw rate and 2nd in field goal percentage at the rim. 7, and also performed poorly on defensive rebounds. These data show that the team has problems in physical confrontation and aggression. This may be because the team has many excellent players, but the overall performance is not ideal. There are still many questions about the team's lineup adjustment and tactical arrangements. Pina said.

Currently, the Clippers have 3 wins and 4 losses, ranking tenth in the Western Conference.
