The elimination of the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the NBA Playoffs continues to make headlines, and now a former teammate of James Harden has delivered a strong message. The Los Angeles Clippers entered the postseason with high expectations but failed to get past the first round against the Denver Nuggets.

James Harden played well in the regular season but struggled in the playoffs. Lawrence Frank says keeping Harden remains the Clippers' "first priority."

Harden didn't stick around to talk to the media after the game as his streaks of bad performances in the playoffs continued.
