Highlights

  • The L.A. Clippers took a big risk by trading for James Harden, but their 2-6 record since his arrival raises concern about their ability to win as a group.
  • Harden's high school coach believes it could take as many as 30 games for him to fully integrate into the team's system and style of play.
  • The Clippers' lack of chemistry among their star-studded lineup has been evident, but recent lineup changes have led to a two-game win streak, showing signs of progress.
