Leonard returned to play against the Hawks at home, and the Clippers' morale is high. Because the Hawks are not a weak team, but an Eastern powerhouse. They have already double-killed the league's first Cavaliers this season, and even the Celtics were defeated by the Hawks. But the Clippers relied on Harden's organization and Leonard's ability to attack on the front line, and they literally broke the Hawks apart. You can really say that Leonard's return is like parachuting in a superstar on the basis of the playoffs, and Leonard and the Clippers are separated. Now the Clippers already have the ability to compete for the championship, and Cardi's body is indeed fine, at least there is no problem now. Today, Leonard has traveled with the team to the away game, and the Clippers will face strong teams like the Timberwolves and Nuggets next. Clippers reporter Tomer Azarly reported on social media today that Leonard was not included in the latest Clippers injury report. Except for Kai Jones, the entire Clippers squad can play in the next game against the Timberwolves. Leonard still has time restrictions, and should gradually return to a normal state as his condition improves later. And this time Leonard came back with a feeling of indifference to everything. He no longer cares about injuries, nor does he have a specific schedule, just taking it step by step. Because you can't predict the future, it's obvious that when reporters asked Leonard today what kind of maintenance and recovery he would do for his knees in the future?…

On January 6th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season will continue, with the Clippers traveling to play against the Timberwolves as visitors. The Timberwolves have recently fallen into difficulties again, suffering a three-game losing streak. In their last game, they were surprisingly defeated by the Pistons, with team core Edwards scoring an empty 53 points. Besides Randle's 17 points, no other players scored in double digits. After the game, Edwards even refused to be interviewed, clearly dissatisfied with the team's performance. Currently, the Timberwolves' record stands at 17 wins and 17 losses, ranking 10th in the West, and they still need to find their form. This season, the Timberwolves' defensive performance has been good, allowing an average of only 108 points per game. However, the team's offense lags behind, averaging just 109.2 points. Moreover, the frontline anchored by Gobert is not stable, averaging only 42.8 rebounds per game, which ranks at the bottom of the league. The Timberwolves' offensive threat is still the three-pointer, averaging 15.1 made threes per game. Once they can shoot well, the chances of winning will increase. Edwards remains the team's offensive core, contributing an average of 25.3 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. The Clippers welcomed a resurgence in their last game, with Leonard making his debut in the new season. The team played an excellent game, setting a new high for the season with 36 assists, with eight players scoring in double digits, easily defeating the Hawks 131-105 to end their two-game losing streak. Leonard returned to play less than 20 minutes, hitting 3…

The recent performance and ranking changes of the Clippers have been quite interesting. Although they are currently ranked seventh in the West, it seems that with the various issues facing the Mavericks, the Clippers could return to the top six in just a few days. The Clippers' current situation is actually quite delicate. Their record of 19 wins and 15 losses may not look particularly impressive, but maintaining such a win rate without Leonard has been quite commendable, considering the fierce competition in the league right now. The team's defense has consistently maintained a high standard, even without Leonard, the defensive core on the court. They still managed to rank in the top five in the league, which is quite intimidating. The combination of Harden and Westbrook can sometimes experience power outages on the offensive end, but overall, they are able to maintain the team's offensive firepower. Especially in critical moments, the experience of these two veterans always helps the team overcome difficulties. During this period, the Clippers' bench lineup has also shown considerable strength, especially young players like Mann. With more playing time, they have demonstrated significant potential and immediate combat effectiveness. Coach Tyronn Lue's rotation arrangements have been quite interesting. Without Leonard, he has managed to coach the team into a decent playing style, which is quite admirable. Now that Leonard is returning, the team's strength will definitely see a qualitative improvement. However, how to integrate him into the existing system is indeed something that needs careful consideration. The team's chemistry has been established quite well during this…

NBA regular season continues, the Clippers hosted the Hawks game has ended, one of the biggest highlights of this game is Leonard's return. Before this game, the Clippers had just finished a three-game road trip, while the Hawks were on a continuous away trip; the two teams' records were not much different, both in the playoff position of the division standings; the game was once a stalemate, but the Clippers expanded their lead in the second quarter and eventually won the game at home. 20+18+15! The Clippers won big by 26 points with three key players, Leonard returned, and the landscape changed. The first quarter began with Leonard's performance becoming the biggest highlight; he scored his first point of the season with a three-pointer; in the first quarter, the Clippers started with a run to expand their advantage to 15 points, but at the end of the quarter, the Hawks responded with a 14:0 run to reduce the gap to 1 point. In the second quarter, the Clippers exploded again during the lineup rotation phase, with Powell and Coffey hitting consecutive threes, and another offensive run of 13:2. Leonard also continued with the three-pointers, and the whole team's multi-flower attack scored 45 points in the second quarter, winning 19 points in a single quarter, completely changing the situation of the game. In the second half, although the Clippers' offensive feel declined somewhat, they still restricted the Hawks' offense with excellent defense and maintained their advantage. In the final quarter, they steadily maintained their advantage, and the game became suspenseless; finally,…

Leonard, as the ace player of the Clippers, has indeed disappointed fans in recent years. We can see Leonard unable to provide continuous support for the Clippers due to his injury problems at critical moments in each season. Especially last season, it was the year with the most hope for the Clippers' Big Three. However, during the playoffs against the Mavericks, Leonard once again withdrew from the team due to his own injuries. It was only recently that Leonard made a comeback. In the game where the Clippers defeated the Hawks 131-105, Leonard also played for 19 minutes. However, Leonard's performance was indeed poor, shooting only 4 out of 11 in the game. He scored 12 points, and his overall performance was quite mediocre. What is even more worrying for fans is that Leonard withdrew early again. Although the specific reason is unknown, fans understand that Leonard has a fragile physique. There will definitely be a series of problems in the next game. Therefore, Tyronn Lue, the head coach of the Clippers, can't stand it anymore. In an interview, Coach Lue also spoke the truth. He said: "Neither I nor the team doctor are sure how much playing time Leonard should have. His playing time will be limited. If we see the game getting very intense, we will let Leonard rest." This statement really left fans speechless. As a top-paid player of the Clippers, he is asked to rest during intense moments. This is completely unacceptable to other players. It seems that the Clippers can only rely on Harden this…

NBA regular season, the Clippers defeated the Hawks 131-105. This was a rare easy game for the Clippers, as they were well-equipped on both offense and defense, completely suppressing their opponents to secure an easy victory. After the game, the Clippers faced two joys and one concern. Among them, Leonard's return had a huge impact on the team. Previously, the team was heavily focused on Harden, which made it difficult for the offense to get going. Now that Leonard has returned, there is an additional point of contention on the offensive end, allowing Zubac and Powell to get more open positions. As long as they are not heavily defended, they can freely play on the court. Moreover, Leonard is still a defensive powerhouse; even though his defensive statistics were not high in this game, he is capable of locking down an opponent single-handedly. Under this trend, both the offense and defense of the Clippers were mobilized, which is why the Clippers played so vigorously in this game. The depth of the Clippers' bench is also quite terrifying. The bench scored 68 points, setting a new season-high. Among them, Coffey, who has been performing well recently, scored 17 points in this game. Little Jones continued to play a dual-role on both offense and defense, with good shooting accuracy, scoring 12 points. Little Porter remained calm, with high efficiency, able to handle the ball and control the rhythm, scoring 15 points throughout the game. Additionally, Mann, after his return, also played a dual-role on both offense and defense, scoring 12 points throughout…

With victories for the Clippers, Warriors, Nuggets, Trail Blazers, and Jazz today, there have been changes in the rankings in the Western Conference. The Nuggets have risen to fourth place after their overtime comeback, while the Clippers, with Leonard's return and a big win over the Hawks, have moved up to seventh in the standings. Let's take a look back at today's exciting games! The Clippers defeated the Hawks 131-105. In this game, Leonard returned, and the first quarter was very exciting, with the Clippers leading by just one point. In the second quarter, the Clippers scored an impressive 45 points, winning the quarter by 20 points and entering the second half. In the second half, the Hawks still couldn't find their offensive rhythm, and the Clippers continued to expand their lead without any pressure. With Leonard's return, the Clippers' rotation lineup is very strong. In the final quarter, the Hawks still couldn't find a way to close the gap, and the Clippers ended their losing streak with a big win. Leonard had an easy 12 points, Harden had 10+15, Powell had 20 points, Zubac had 18+18, and Young of the Hawks had 20 points! The Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 121-113. It was another thrilling match where the Warriors played exceptionally well and defeated the Grizzlies, giving them their second consecutive loss. Curry was absent from this game, but the Warriors shot well from beyond the arc today, suppressing the Grizzlies in scoring throughout all…

NBA regular season action continued with the Clippers hosting the Hawks. Both teams were looking to bounce back from two consecutive losses. In this game, James Harden returned from injury, and the Clippers' star Kawhi Leonard made his season debut. Six Atlanta players, including Jalen Johnson, Larry Nance Jr., and Bogdan Bogdanovic, were sidelined due to injuries. The two strong teams engaged in a fierce battle. The matchup between top-tier guards James Harden and Trae Young, as well as how Leonard would perform in his comeback game, were the main attractions of the match. For this game, Tyronn Lue adjusted the lineup, starting with Harden, Leonard, Powell, Zubac, and Dunn, while Derrick Jones Jr. came off the bench. Throughout the game, the Clippers dominated, with Harden finishing with 10 points, 15 assists, and 2 steals in just three quarters. Leonard, in his return after 253 days, scored 12 points with 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal in 19 minutes. Zubac had an explosive performance with 18 points, 18 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 block. The Clippers' four key shooters—Norman Powell, Derrick Jones Jr., Terance Mann, and Porter—also stepped up, contributing significantly to the victory. The Clippers won the game 131-105, handing the Hawks their third consecutive loss. Notably, this was Harden's ninth win in as many career matchups against Trae Young. The Clippers' bench also played a significant role, with eight players scoring a total of 69 points, a season-high for the team.

NBA Prediction for November 18th: Rockets Soar to Five Consecutive Wins, Harden Steers Clippers to End Losing Streak Today's predictions for five games were all incorrect, and previously the accuracy rate for predicting wins and losses was around 60-70%. A while ago, I had a conversation with a classmate who works in self-media. He suggested that if I want to pursue a career in NBA self-media, I should adapt to the development of the traffic era. Nowadays, everyone's pace of life is fast, and not many true fans constantly follow the NBA. They only occasionally pay attention to their favorite teams. Only things related to interests will attract more attention. Therefore, during this period, I started trying to develop in the direction of predicting point spread victories and defeats. The accuracy rate of predictions during this period has been extremely low. I completely think from the perspective of a fan, so I fell into the trap set by the bookmakers. I can only continuously summarize experience and hope to improve. There are ten games tomorrow, and the pre-game predictions are as follows: Suns vs Timberwolves (-7.5)‌ Pre-game analysis: Durant and Beal continue to be sidelined due to injuries. Booker has not yet proven that he can lead the team without All-Star teammates. In the last game against the Thunder, Booker shot 2-for-10, scoring only 10 points with 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and the team's record dropped to fifth in the West with 9 wins and 4 losses. The Timberwolves have also been in poor form recently, with 2 wins…

On January 5th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued with the Clippers hosting the Hawks. In this game, Leonard made his debut for the new season, and the Clippers once unleashed a 16-0 offensive on the offensive end, with Xiaoqiang continuously delivering dunks, but the Hawks managed to catch up with the score through their three-point shooting. However, in the second quarter, the Clippers found their rhythm from beyond the arc while the Hawks struggled to keep up, resulting in a 27-4 run that widened the gap, ending the half with a 74-54 lead over the Hawks. In this game, Leonard started, and the two teams were initially locked in a seesaw battle, trading blows on the offensive end, with Leonard hitting his first three-pointer of the season. However, after Xiaoqiang came off the bench, the Clippers suddenly picked up momentum, with Xiaoqiang delivering consecutive alley-oops, followed by Harden assisting Xiaoqiang on a counterattack, igniting the crowd and unleashing a 16-0 run to take a 29-14 lead. Matthews' 3+1 helped stem the bleeding, but the Clippers couldn't maintain their momentum as Matthews hit another three-pointer, Trae Young responded with a three-pointer, and Lisha responded with a dunk, leading to a 14-0 run by the Hawks to end the first quarter with the Clippers leading 29-28. In the second quarter, Coffey hit a three-pointer, Powell scored on a drive, and the Hawks continued to score to stay close, with Matthews hitting a three-pointer and Powell responding. Zubac added a putback dunk, but the Hawks' offense suddenly went cold, missing multiple…
