Said this before, but while I don’t think Paul George can be the #1 on a title team (not an insult, few players can), I feel the best is brought out of him when he’s a #1, whether by design or circumstance. Makes his return interesting for the Clips. AK – 12:15 AM

Paul George isn’t going to be credited with that last steal but he should have four after that last strip. He’s begun to make shots, and use his gravity to find kick-out lanes to other shooters as well, and the Clippers have cut their deficit from 21 to 12. – 10:49 PM

There have been four steals in this game and Paul George has three of them. IMO, this is where he should be expected to have the most noticeable impact early on amid this return. Working him into the offense will take some time, but he can be a force defensively right now. – 10:12 PM
