James Harden's debut with the Los Angeles Clippers was spoiled by the New York Knicks. The Clippers lost the game, and Harden finished with 17 points and 6 assists but had a team-worst +/- rating of -18. Harden's performance raised questions about how he will fit into the Clippers' system. The team's offense struggled in their next game against the Brooklyn Nets, resulting in another loss. Harden's +/- rating remained poor in both games. Despite his individual performance, the Clippers' overall production has dropped since adding Harden to the lineup.

James Harden through two games with LA Clippers: Game 1: Team-worst minus 10 (+/- rating). Game 2: Team-worst minus 15 (+/-rating). But he looks good.

Clippers stars in tonight’s loss to Nets: Paul George - 7/20 FGM Kawhi Leonard - 7/16 FGM Russell Westbrook - 6/18 FGM James Harden - 4/9 FGM (h/t @TomerAzarly) https://t.co/VfjIKkiXpk
The Clippers offense the second James Harden entered the lineup: https://t.co/4LvVZokOAp
Clippers had a rough night from 3 (8-36, 22%). PG cold, Kawhi cold, Russ colder. Harden was quietly OK ... but the offense isn't exactly clicking - just 93 points in a loss at Nets. Harden must play PG. Russ must lead the second unit.
"That's comin' my way! I got it. Unbelievable. I could see it from the beginning... That might have been my greatest call in NBA history. I knew it from the second it left his hand... I also have tea all over my lap." Ian Eagle receives James Harden's errant pass 🏀🎙️😂 https://t.co/TmBxq5CLaS

Maybe the Clippers can petition the NBA to change its rules so that two balls are in play at the same time. Otherwise, how will the James Harden experiment work? On the disconcerting start of Harden’s tenure with the Clippers: https://t.co/PGtg4UavNu
