The Los Angeles Clippers had to do so much better. Presented as one of the main favorites for the 2020 title, the Californians were taken out in the second round of the playoffs in the bubble. However, teams that win only one year after forming a “super team” are rare. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George did not sign until the summer of 2019. It is almost normal that they did not go to the end.
On the other hand, it is the way in which they were eliminated that worries. The Clippers exploded in midair. As they led 3-1 against the Denver Nuggets. And that, on the other hand, already gives more reasons to be suspicious for the future. There is a problem. And insider Ramona Shelburne thinks he’s put his finger on it.
“Your leader cannot be your coach. The most important voice in the locker room has to be that of a player. They need to find a real leader during the offseason. Someone who can provide leadership, like Kyle Lowry did for Kawhi Leonard in Toronto. He misses a player like that by his side. “
“Kawhi Leonard is not LeBron James. He can’t just be like ‘oh we don’t have a point guard so I’m going to do it’, that’s not his game. “
Kawhi Leonard is an excellent player but he is very introverted. He leads by example. But that may not be enough for the Clippers. They need a boss. A man to reframe the team. It would be one of their priorities this winter.
