In the last five games, they have made 3 of 14 three-pointers. Has the backcourt blockage seriously affected the Clippers overall competitiveness?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Boston Celtics, playing at home, narrowly defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 121-118. After this game, the Celtics, who had won two consecutive victories, improved their record to 7 wins and 7 losses, and their ranking was promoted to 11th in the Eastern Conference; while the Clippers, who had lost 7 of the last 8 games, had a record of 4 wins and 9 losses, continuing to rank 11th in the Western Conference.

In this game, the performance of the Clippers' starting backcourt guard Kris Dunn was very unsatisfactory and did not meet everyone's expectations for him. Dunn played 24 minutes and 19 seconds, making 1 of 5 shots, 1 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and 3 of 4 free throws. He scored 6 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 block. He also had 3 turnovers and 2 fouls, with a plus-minus of -15. Dunn worked quite hard on the defensive end, and he also achieved good results, showing good personal defensive ability. However, the problem is that Dunn's offensive effect is really poor, and his scoring ability is really poor. If his open three-pointers can be a little more reliable, the situation of the game may completely change. In fact, Dunn's dismal performance on the offensive end also directly affected the team's offensive space and overall performance, which also largely contributed to the team's defeat.

In the NBA regular season last season, Dunn played a total of 74 times in 82 games, averaging 24.1 minutes per game. He averaged 6.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.7 steals, and 0.4 blocks per game. He also had 1 turnover and 2.7 fouls. He shot 43.9% from the field, 33.5% from the three-point range, and 68.2% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, Dunn played a total of 7 times, averaging 21.9 minutes per game. He averaged 6.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.6 blocks per game. He also had 0.1 turnovers and 2.6 fouls. He shot 38.6% from the field and 35.7% from the three-point range. Since the start of this season, Dunn has averaged 25.6 minutes per game in the first 13 games, averaging 7.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game. He also has 1.5 turnovers and 2.5 fouls. His shooting percentage is 46.7%, 35.5% from three-point range, and 72.2% from free throws.

Dunn's performance at the beginning of this season was quite good. He did play a very good role on both offense and defense. However, the problem is that Dunn cannot play his role on the offensive end in every game, and in recent times, his performance on the offensive end has been simply appalling. In the last five games, Dunn's efficiency from beyond the three-point line is 3 of 14, and his shooting percentage is even less than 30%, which seems very outrageous. If Dunn wants to stay in the team's starting lineup, such a three-point shooting rate is absolutely unacceptable. It is equivalent to the Clippers directly adding a player with no offensive power. This has a huge negative impact on the team's offensive end. Next we can also take a look at how the Clippers should choose to arrange the team's starting lineup. Will Dunn continue to stay in the starting lineup?
