Some Clippers Have Reportedly 'Struggled' w/ Kawhi & Paul George's Preferential Treatment

It's been somewhat of a rough year for the Los Angeles Clippers, even though their 31-14 record doesn't quite show it.
If you remember last season, the scrappy Clippers were fun to watch, looked like they were enjoying being on the court together, and were even able to take the Golden State Warriors to six games in the playoffs. But this season doesn't quite have the same energy as the last, despite the addition of superstars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
That may be due to reports that some members of the team feel that the pair have been receiving preferential treatment this season, according to The Athletic.
quote:
Off the court, sources say there are some teammates who have struggled with the organization’s preferential treatment that is afforded to Leonard and George.
But that element didn’t exist with last season’s Clippers, where there was a largely egalitarian ecosystem. It has been an adjustment for multiple players to see two newcomers come in and have such a significant influence on everyone’s schedule.
quote:
Montrezl Harrell, however, has not been shy about his feelings regarding team play. After a recent embarrassing loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, a reporter asked the Clippers big man about the vibe in the locker room, to which he replied: "I don't know brother, I don't know and maybe that's the problem right there."
quote:
Tension had been quietly building in the locker room, according to multiple sources, but Harrell’s comments confirmed the uncomfortability some felt. The comments also rubbed certain players the wrong way, as they feel that Harrell’s post-game mood can be dictated more by his individual box-score performance than the game’s outcome, according to sources.
quote:
So, it looks like there's more happening with the Clippers than meets the eye. Harrell might also be complaining about the team's lighter approach to practices as well. He plays so intensely, that he probably would be one of the players upset that his teammates aren't playing as hard at practice.
quote:
But that, combined with the team’s constant injuries, the front-loaded schedule and Leonard’s injury management, has created a lighter mood and approach to practices. Multiple players, according to league sources, don’t feel the team practices as hard or as seriously as it should at this point in the season.

Kawhi and George should be better teammates

That's what happens when your stars miss games for nothing.

Much ado about nothing. Sounds like the press trying to stir up controversy.

lie. trez said himself they have issues

If they were to win the whole thing, kawhi and PG would get 90% of the credit & attention. You have to imagine that would rub them wrong way ESPECIALLY if there's already a problem

Yup.
The rank and file carry them through the season and the pampered few want to come in and take the glory.
Yet another reason why the NBA sucks now.
No one wants to go out and bust their arse for 40 minutes a night for 80 games a year. Pretty sure coaches get fired if a player hits 2,800 minutes nowadays.
Brat arse league.

Hard enough to play an 82 game schedule but then on top of that, all their off time is doing consults for The Young and the Restless

All these issues and they still beat the Lakers? Wow, this squad will be scary when they come together as a team, won't they?

Trez is prob a little bitter the Clippers won’t be giving him the big contract he’ll get this off season.
