The Los Angeles Clippers haven’t won a game since adding James Harden. They have lost six straight and are 3-7 on the season.

“This is the toughest challenge I’ve ever faced as a head coach, but I’m definitely up to the task,” Lue told Bleacher Report after the loss to the Denver Nuggets. “The biggest thing is getting these guys to sacrifice for other people, whether it’s starting the game, finishing the game, shooting, touching the ball, who’s running the pick-and-roll, etc. Getting these guys to sacrifice is going to be the biggest challenge of all seasons.”

The Clippers still believe this is just an integration process.

“We all respect the adjustment. We have to make sacrifices. We understand that. It’s that simple. No one is against that. No one is upset about it,” Paul George told B/R. “We know what we have. One ball, four good bastards. We understand that and embrace it. We want to make each other better and I don’t think anyone has any complaints about that. “

“Just communicating, making sure I prepare myself and know where we’re going to be on both sides of the ball,” Harden explained to B/R. “I’ve played a few games and obviously we’re not winning. , but I’m off the ball more than I’ve been in a long time. I’m just trying to find a balance between that and “getting more pick-and-roll opportunities.”

“Our coaching staff and my teammates have communicated about having me play more pick-and-rolls. We have a lot of talent, so we’re just trying to adapt and make sure everyone is happy. We’re working hard to do that. What makes it so?” We became the best Clippers team we could be.

“I’m just trying to find a way to leave a mark on the game. I’m using the first 10 games to get into real NBA basketball shape. I don’t have a training camp, so it’s going to take some time.”
