James Harden with a long answer on how this Clippers team has impacted him:
“Man it’s special. Really just giving yourself up for something bigger. Comi
ng into this season, it was no expectations for this team for real. You look a
t the standings, they predicted us to be 13th seed or 12th seed in the West. B
eing around these guys from day one, it started in Arizona when I put the mini
camp together. And then going into training camp and seeing we got something s
pecial. We got some dogs in this locker room… Here we are with an opportunity
to be top 4-5 seed in the West and have a pretty good run in this postseason.
They’ve impacted me in a positive way. They’ve made me lock in on both ends
of the ball. And really just have that competitive mindset to want to go out
and do whatever it takes to win. And that’s the beauty of a team.”
登登談到這支快艇隊對他的影響時：
「兄弟，這真的很特別。就是為了更大的目標而放下自己。這賽季剛開始時，外界對這支
球隊根本沒有什麼期待。你看看當時的預測，他們說我們會是西區第13或第12名。但是從
第一天開始，和這些兄弟們在一起就不一樣了。一切從我在亞利桑那舉辦的小型訓練營開
始，然後進入正式訓練營時，我就看出來我們有點特別的東西。我們更衣室裡有些狠角色
……現在我們有機會成為西區前四或前五的種子隊，在季後賽來一波不錯的表現。他們對
我產生了正面的影響，讓我在攻防兩端都更專注，真正培養起那種競爭的心態，願意為了
贏球付出一切。這就是團隊的美麗之處。」

從賽季前就確定可愛無法趕上開季
登登獨自帶隊一直維持在前八順位
到後面可愛回來後一波小亂流
接下來穩定在附加賽順序徘徊
現在甚至有機會衝一波西區第4
團隊功勞功不可沒
登登每次上車就變大腿扛進季後賽真的令人感動
只希望季後賽能全員健康
就拚這一波了！
