Shocking News: Jamal Murray Reviews about The New James Harden Clippers is Unspeakable
The Denver Nuggets have met the Clippers three times this season.
The Denver Nuggets are the only team that has seen the Clippers’ new look with James Harden. Denver has faced the Clippers three times in the last month, with each game telling a very different story.
Denver nearly lost the opening game, and the Clippers had recently added James Harden and Daniel Theis. Denver narrowly won the second game despite the absence of Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon. Despite being totally healthy, Denver lost the third game.
“I mean, of course, they have a lot of good players on their roster,” Jamal Murray explained. “They bring in Theis [Daniel Theis] as a backup center, which makes them more versatile.” They’re fantastic. They have a lot of talent. They lead the league in steals and are quite effective offensively. So they are beneficial on both ends. They have an excellent basketball team.”
The Clippers have the potential to become a great basketball team, but they still haven’t become the really good basketball team that Murray is speaking about. LA has won 7 of their last 10 games but still has a ways to go before being an elite team with a good record. Still, Murray gave the team their props.
“They’re good, they’re professional, they’re physical,” Murray said. “They have guys that know what the game needs at the time. I think [Russell Westbrook] did a great job coming into the game and impacting it with his energy. I don’t think he scored a whole lot or had a crazy ton of assists, but his energy, his impact on the glass, that feeds off to the unit that he’s out there with. We just have to do a better job of recognizing that in the game, being able to shut that down, not let the crowd get back into it, and now we are trying to fight from behind after a good first quarter. Just little stuff like that, we have to be better at managing the game.”
The Denver Nuggets currently have a 2-1 regular season series advantage on the Clippers, but LA looked pretty convincing in last night’s win against the defending champions.
