Paul George on struggles: My mindset needs to be in attack mode at all times
Yet as George went scoreless in the first half, the first time that has happened in the 197 regular-season games since he joined the franchise in 2019, he felt out of character in a “non-aggressive attack mode, which I won’t do again.” “I let the team down with that approach, but again, it won’t happen again,” George said. “The mind set will be in attack mode at all times.”

Paul George said he intended to focus his energy on defense and rebounding given LAC’s struggles in those areas the last two games, to “just be the glue guy tonight, which put me in a non-aggressive attack mode, which I won’t do again. Just felt out of character on the floor.” – 12:42 AM

A lot went wrong in that first half for the Clippers. Paul George finishes the first half scoreless (0-5 FGs, 0 FT attempts). Looking through box scores, I believe that is his first scoreless first half since he joined the Clippers. – 9:45 PM

Not the best timing, but:
After struggling to carve out an NBA role during his first two seasons, Cam Thomas is receiving leaguewide praise for his historic start to the 2023-24 campaign.
Among those to take notice was Clippers star Paul George. Story:clutchpoints.com/nets-news-cam-… – 3:17 PM

Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook tonight:
24/63 FG (38.1%)
6/26 from three (23.1%)
The Nets, namely Mikal Bridges and Dennis Smith Jr., made things really tough. Clips also missed some easy ones. – 9:56 PM

In preseason, Paul George called getting better defensively, taking care of the ball and getting out in transition the Clippers’ “Achilles’ heel stuff.” Tonight in 7-pt Brooklyn loss, LAC commits 16 turnovers (16 points for Nets) and allows 14 off. rebounds (18 points for Nets). – 9:51 PM

The Nets are hanging tough with the Kawhi Leonard-Paul George-James Harden-led Clippers while down four of their five best players.
Brooklyn leads 73-71 entering the 4th quarter. – 9:11 PM

Despite it feeling “kind of weird” to play in his first game of the season following no training camp with the LA Clippers, James Harden had no trouble seeing what he, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and Russell Westbrook can do together. “Unlimited possibilities,” Harden said. Harden made his long-awaited debut for the Clippers on Monday night, and while the New York Knicks spoiled the occasion with a 111-97 win at Madison Square Garden, the Clippers were keeping their eyes on the big picture and what they believe will be exciting times ahead. -via ESPN / November 7, 2023
