When the Los Angeles Clippers acquired James Harden, they knew they were shining an extra bright spotlight on themselves.
Any deficiencies within the team would gain a lot of attention and criticism.
So far, the Clippers have made it easy for critics because they have lost four games in a row with Harden on board.
Speaking on “Run It Back,” Chandler Parsons said that head coach Tyronn Lue has to accept most of the blame.
“It’s on Tyronn Lue,” Parsons stated plainly.
He added that Lue has “got to make a change now because this is getting worse and worse.”

Parsons said that the trade for Harden was a smart one and he applauded the front office for pursuing it.
He also said he expected it would take a couple of games for the team to work out its kinks and start securing wins.
But it’s been four games now and the team is only looking worse.
On Sunday night, they were overcome by the Memphis Grizzlies, handing that team only their second win of the season.
The Clippers have an assortment of huge stars.
Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, and Russell Westbrook are some of the biggest names in the game.
With those big names and big talent come big expectations.
A team like this has to win often and it definitely cannot lose four games in a row without causing serious distress among the fanbase.
The Clippers will likely commit to Harden and the rest of the squad for as long as possible, especially since they spent so much to get them.
That means that if anyone is going to be cut loose after a bad season, it’ll be Lue.
That gives him even more reason to figure out how to make this assorted crew of NBA icons work.
