I kinda feel bad for Clippers fans, but not really. Kawhi did a good job playing most of the year, but something is wrong with his knees, so he's never going to survive the playoffs. They didn't need to trade for Harden, as they were actually better off with Russ. Out of all the stars they have on the team, only Kawhi and Russ show up for the playoffs, but Kawhi is hurt and Russ doesn't get any minutes. Harden consistently chokes in playoffs, and PG13 chokes harder than any of them. All that star power for nothing. If I was the Clippers, I would absolutely consider hitting the reset button.

[@brandoneric9785]

In all honesty, Stephen A, Paul George has the right mindset. Focusing on chasing a ring will always lead to chasing failure. Paul wants to get back to playing the game the right way. This means working with a franchise to establish a winning culture that then turns into a championship team. He's trying to simplify the game so he can place himself in a healthy and productive situation.
