[Saba Sports News] Lily Batum appears to be poking fun at the LA Clippers once again. The Clippers, now led by James Harden, suffered a demoralizing 144-126 defeat to the Dallas Mavericks, marking their third consecutive loss in this new era. This loss was particularly stinging as it occurred in an In-Season Tournament game, where net point differential is crucial.
Following this defeat, Lily Batum, married to former Clippers forward Nicolas Batum, seemed to indirectly criticize the Clippers in a French social media post. The post, roughly translated, suggests that some fail to recognize that what they already have is better than what they seek elsewhere.
Nicolas Batum had been a key figure for the Clippers for several seasons before being traded to the Philadelphia 76ers as part of the deal bringing Harden to the Clippers. Lily had previously made a similar comment about the Clippers organization during the trade. However, for the Batums, the trade has been beneficial so far. The 76ers are on a winning streak, leading the Eastern Conference with a 7-1 record. Nicolas recently debuted with the 76ers, contributing positively off the bench.
As for the Clippers, it’s too early to draw definitive conclusions based on just three games. While the team is currently struggling, with even Harden searching for solutions, there’s still potential for success once the team’s star players sync up.
