They already blew one of them.

They look old.

They did not lead for one single second in this game.

And Kawhi Leonard, who a lot of people were talking up in the preseason, he got torched by Markkinen.

Just absolutely torched.

It felt like he was playing behind.

It didn't feel like he was almost paying attention during a lot of these games.

There was a turnover.

It was a James Harden pass.

This was toward the beginning of the third quarter.

James Harden throws the ball to Kawhi.

Kawhi is not paying attention.

He doesn't even know the ball is coming.

He turns around, sees the ball, hit the ground, stands there for a few seconds, throws his hands up like, what's going on?

He's got those big old mitts up in the air, waving around.

What's going on here?

All the while, Spima Hailuk gets behind Kawhi, gets the ball, dribbles it up the court, passes to Keontae George, who then sends it to Flip, who gets a wide-open dunk.

It's just one small example of just the lacklusterness that existed with the Clippers that night.

Now, it's one game.

This was a pure, like, we are not giving the necessary effort to beat a professional basketball team kind of thing that happened.
