The Clippers have been rolling as of late having won seven straight games and 12 of their last 15 contests.

Upon James Harden’s arrival, expectations were unfairly high right off the bat. After starting 0-5 with Harden, many were quick to dump on the Clippers as a failed experiment. Clippers coach Tyronn Lue was never worried, though.

“We lost six games in a row but I still felt really good about this team,” Lue said after a recent game against the Warriors.

In terms of starting to figure out roles for everyone on the team, Lue talked about how this was exactly how he pictured it would be like when they acquired Harden.

“This is exactly what I envisioned. Just how we should play, how we can play. The biggest thing is PG [Paul George], Kawhi [Leonard], and James making each other better on a night-to-night basis. We understand they’re three future Hall-of-Famers, along with Russ. It’s gonna be a different guy every night, depending on how teams are playing us, what teams are willing to take away.”

Before getting overly excited about the Clippers’ future, there are several key questions that need positive answers, though.
