someone put a stat out there and from Minnesota um there what are they number one in a league and 10 point um digit loan leads 10 plus this year nice I think Chicago's like right behind them right you know but I mean but goodness gracious wouldn't

put that one at the front of the game the PR game notes no for the wolves um all right let's go back clippers um 41 and 38 they played the Lakers the blazers at the Suns in their last three games of the season they they are missing Paul George Eric Gordon missed the game over the weekend Russell Westbrook is playing the best he's played in a long time what have you noticed about the Clippers in the last week and what are you looking at at them going forward they could still I mean they are fifth right now yeah

I mean the you know rewinded a little bit the Memphis game they won you know the first game they won it reminded me a lot of uh Westbrook with the Lakers a year ago that Charlotte Friday I don't remember you remember that Friday night I do Charlotte where they had nobody right like they it was basically him on an I won by himself and he like basically like exploded and that was kind of like you know that Memphis game they had he had he was basically like him and a bunch of role players right um so you split that I mean at the end of the day it comes down to Wednesday it comes down to the Laker game right like that's what it comes down to as far as hanging on for um because you've got the Lakers Portland at Phoenix like that Phoenix game likely probably doesn't mean much for the Suns I don't think it does um and you've got you know you got quite I mean it's basically you just you're in survival mode right now right like that's that's how I see it for for for the Clippers

um I just I watched their Pelicans game on Saturday Pelicans beat them 122 1 14 kind of going away in the end Kawai Kawai and BI were on like an old school mid-range dual Kawai ended up with 40 I think and I know that a lot of this is because Paul George is injured right and so you're missing 38 minutes in big games 40 minutes in big big games of rock solid two-way superstar level production that you pen in but it just struck me watching that game you know they closed the game with I think three guards I think it was man Westbrook and Powell with Kawai at the four and Zubots so that's about as small as they get when they're not playing uh their five out lineups which they've essentially just done away with since acquiring Mason Plumlee they play a center almost every second of the game and then earlier in that game they were playing super big lineups where Kawai is I guess kind of the two maybe it was Russ Kawai Batum Covington who's suddenly been resurrected out of out of the out of mothballs and Zubots and so that we they have both Covington and Batum on the floor at the same time Covington is now playing with their traditional centers which is something Tai Lu was reluctant to do the whole idea of Covington was he was supposed to be their small ball center and it just like you watched them toggle between these layups and again Gordon was out and Paul George was out and so they're missing a couple of key components for a second and they still kind of don't know quite what they want to do and when they want to do it Morris is out of the rotation now um just kind of just kind of chaotic and then you have the thing where Kawai played the first half against Memphis on Friday didn't play the second half and then Russ after the game told reporters this is according to LA Times yeah we didn't know the Kawai was gonna do that we found out you know when when everybody else did and at first I could see the Clippers people being like Russ I know you're new here you're not supposed to say stuff like that you're not supposed to say stuff like that about Kawai just just leave it be but like really they didn't know the other players are like what are we doing here what's happening well I

mean
