The Clippers are worse than the Clippers. Now the choice is between conservative treatment and surgery, no matter which option is chosen

The Clippers are now choosing between conservative treatment and surgery. No matter which option is chosen, the final result will be death. Conservative treatment means procrastination, and the management pretends to be stupid. Even if the coach is changed, the fundamental problem cannot be solved. At most, it will only make it to the first round of the playoffs, and it will be gone in 27 years; surgery is to cut the knot quickly, trade those who can be traded quickly, and exchange for some draft picks and young players, but there may be surprises.
The Clippers' current ball is really weird. Why are they so stubborn not to let Collins start? The Clippers have never appeared in the preseason except for the preseason games. Sometimes they use Miller and Bogdan when there are injuries.
Although I didn’t play today, I still used an older and smaller coach. I feel that there is a big problem with the head coach. This season Zubac has declined a lot compared to last season. Da Luo said that being a substitute is enough and he can’t ask for too much, but sometimes why not try the five small players?

Also led by a single core, why was the team led by Harden so good before returning last season? Because we were young, we had Mann, Coffey, and Kai Jones at that time, and we also welcomed Jones Jr. and Dunn. You said that these people have no golf intelligence. At least they can fight, run and jump. A group of sports students can cooperate with Harden's command and dispatch and steal some chickens. The second time point is when the transaction is completed. We lost Porter and Mann in exchange for Bogdan and Simmons. The lineup is slightly aging, but the upper limit is indeed higher and more reasonable. At least the regular season is successful, and the playoffs are just one move away.
The third time period is this year’s offseason. I can only say that the idea of reinforcement is right. Add a starting-level No. 4 position, find a substitute for the No. 5 position with space attributes, and supplement Harden's backup point guard. It's Collins, Daluo, Paul. The loss of Powell was replaced by Bill, but the fact is that Collins is not reused by Bass. I think it is probably because Collins is not old enough. If he is 30 years old, he will definitely be the starter.
Secondly, Luo Luo and Paul are good players, but they are too old and too slow. On the offensive end, they occasionally have two steal three-pointers, but they become weak links on the defensive end on the court, and Dunn cannot make up for it alone. Bill's problem is that he can't handle the main production at all, and he has completely failed to fulfill our expectations for him. It may be related to injuries.

This season is completely different. There is no offense, no defense, no tactics. The lineup is aging seriously. On paper, everyone seems to be very capable (once), but now it seems that only Harden and Kawhi are still capable. Bill has not recovered yet, but he is also very important now. Collins replaced Powell.
Although he lost one scoring point, his size, vitality and good scoring ability are completely sufficient. However, Tyronn Lue can't use it at all. The one who has declined the most is Paul. I still remember shooting 3-pointers consecutively when playing against the Clippers last season. Now it is just pure ball control and passing, and there is no threat in the offense.
The problem of the Clippers is already obvious. Paul directly dnp, don't let him go up again for a second. Luo depends on the situation. If the opponent's inside is fierce, he will come up to challenge it. If the inside is not strong, he would rather play Niederhauser or play five small. At least he is fast and energetic. These two are the ones who lose the most points. They are like this in every game. They collapse immediately when they come up. They lose three or four points in one minute. The substitutes need energy too much.

The Clippers' role players have done a good job, except of course Bill and Bogdan. The current struggles of the Clippers are more due to the lack of a breakthrough player and shooter (Powell's role last season). The bigger reason is the incompetence of the coaching staff, which did not place the players in their proper rotation positions according to their characteristics. The Clippers' performance is not that I want to maximize the players' abilities, nor to make the lineup more reasonable.
Instead, I have set a set of rotations, and each role has been well positioned. When you are in this lineup, you have to fulfill the function of this role. If you can't do it, that's your problem. This is also the biggest difference from the league's strong teams, which build lineups for players. The Clippers allow players to change their style of play for the lineup. It is said that one general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted. This is the most true portrayal of the Clippers.
