The Los Angeles Clippers are 0-2 with James Harden in the lineup. They have lost to the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets and have looked disjointed on offense.
However, Harden doesn’t sound too concerned about his rough start with the Clippers.
“It’s ok. Two games. I’ll figure it out. I just want to win,” Harden said. “It doesn’t matter about points or stats. I just want to win games. As long as we can figure it out to where we’re all competing, playing at the highest level, and winning games, that’s all that matters.”
NBA NEWS & RUMORS: James Harden, Los Angeles Clippers Updates
Harden is averaging 14.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists in two games with the Clippers while shooting 55.6% from the field, 44.4% from beyond the arc and a perfect 100.0% from the free-throw line. The 10-time All-Star has 11 assists and seven turnovers.
“When we were getting open shots, they were not taken and that forces us to take even harder shots,” Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said. “So just trying to find those guys on the floor, just not step on each other’s toes. But they got to be themselves. That’s the biggest thing. That’s the biggest message. Be who you are. And if you’re doing too much, we’ll let you know.”
