He wasn’t meant for the Los Angeles Clippers.
Don’t lose at the moment to the Denver Nuggets. Don’t waste a 3-1. Et until you have a chance to face the Los Angeles Lakers in a highly anticipated playoff showdown.
Instead, they lost Game 7 on Tuesday to Denver 104-89, leaving them angry.
We are, Lou Williams said, through Marc J. Spears of ESPN’s The Undefeated. ” Simple and clear, we are.
He also noted the lack of chemistry and added: “We had championship expectations. We had the ability to do it. We didn’t have the chemistry to do it. “
Chemistry is one of the things in the game that is hard to delineate, but contributes to victory.
This comes with the combined game for a significant time, and the Clippers have added two stars to Kawhi Leonard and Paul George this offseason only to see multiple players go in and out of the lineup with injury problems.
The fact that the season was interrupted and then moved to Walt Disney World Resort due to the COVID-19 pandemic did not in fact do wonders for Los Angeles’ ability to identify continuity and familiarity with one another.
Still, chemistry doesn’t exactly cause the ball to enter the hoop, and Leonard (6 out of 22) and George (4 out of 16) were lousy in the area with the season at stake on Tuesday.
Fatigue could also have been a problem, as Spears shared:
Many Clippers were so tired in Game 7 opposed to Denver that they struggled to play relays of more than 3 minutes and asked to leave the game for a break in the last quarter, resources told @TheUndefeated.
“I’ve never felt comfortable,” Chief Coach Doc Rivers said, through Spears. “Never, from the point of view of conditioning, did we have boys who couldn’t play for a few minutes. “
Call it a lack of chemistry, call it fatigue disorders or call it a bad night of shooting, but a landslide for a Clippers team that had championship expectations. No wonder Williams is so disappointed after the defeat.
