Harden is so angry! What exactly happened? It's incredible!

According to US media reports, the NBA's Christmas schedule for next season has been announced. 8 teams in the West have been shortlisted, but there are no Clippers. What exactly happened? Why does the league look down on the Clippers so much?

After all, the Clippers have enhanced their strength through a series of transactions and contracts this summer. They got center Lopez in the inside and power forward Collins from the Jazz.

They also got shooting guard Bill and point guard Paul, and also renewed their contracts with Harden and Batum. It can be said that the Clippers' current strength also has a chance to compete for the championship in the West.

And the Clippers are not short of traffic stars! After all, Harden, Bill, Paul, Kawai and others are all stars with certain traffic. Then the question is! Why doesn't the league arrange for the Clippers to fight the Christmas battle? There may be several reasons.

The first reason is that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. It is said that there is already a team in Los Angeles next season that will play the Christmas battle, that is, the Los Angeles Lakers.

So the Clippers, who are also in Los Angeles, will not be arranged to play the Christmas battle. After all, it is a bit too luxurious to arrange two teams to play Christmas battles in a city.

The second reason is that the Clippers' stars are too old. Although the Clippers have stars such as Harden and they also have a certain amount of traffic, they are really too old! It no longer has the value of promotion.

The current league is focusing on traffic on those young stars. Veterans like Harden are no longer in the league's promotion plan. In other words, a veteran like Harden has no value to promote.

The third reason is that the Clippers are not strong enough. Although the Clippers have obtained many players, their overall strength is still not strong enough, after all, their average age is the largest in the league.

Moreover, Coach Lu's coaching ability is also questionable. Although he once led the Cavaliers to complete a major reversal and won the championship, it has little to do with his coaching ability. So, in general, the Clippers are not qualified to fight the Christmas battle. Is this the reason?
