I was really impressed with the clippers professionalism as they met the kings intensity and maintained enough focus to pull out the win.

I wouldn’t at all be surprised if the kings make the playoffs if they keep this play up.

Some nice quotes from the article:
“A recurring theme of training camp for the LA Clippers has been sacrifice.”
“It’s a process – we’re in it for the longevity of the season,” George said Thursday night of staying patient throughout the integration process of Leonard and new point guard John Wall, both of whom did not play a game in 2021-22. “It’s beauty in it because we got to learn how to win with any chaoticness going on. We got to learn how to win.”
“That’s the kind of team we have, you know, we just don’t have any egos,” Lue said of George. “We just want to go out and play and try to win games and have one common goal. But I want to let him know how I felt about the situation. And he totally understood.”

And yeah, I was pretty impressed by the Kings.

He seems to be playing almost exclusively the 5 so far, and I’d love to see him next to Zu
