Some matchup rankings headed into Clippers at Miami for Monday night
This was the first game of November for the Clippers, and it was the only time all month that Kawhi Leonard played 30+ minutes. It was all downhill from there.
Norman Powell #RevengeGame, but with Tyler Herro.

The Power Rankings Project rolls along into another new week, with the volatility of November in the past. I provided a team-wide check in on new faces before you all decided they need to be traded away! (some of them need to be traded. to be fair and honest.)

Asked Austin Reaves about the Stone Cold theme being played at the arena while he got into the offense
He didn't notice. Might not ever get it again since it was one of his five turnovers.
My Rain Man tendencies strike again idk lol

Asked James Borrego about the Pelicans having the worst 3-point differential in basketball this season.

Cooper Flagg is now the youngest player ever to score 35 points in a game
Asked Kawhi Leonard about his first game vs Flagg
"Jason Kidd did a good job spreading the floor out, letting him attack, get to his spots. Got to the free throw line, made mids, got fouled."

Asked Kawhi Leonard about a recurring theme that has come up for the LA Clippers this month: trust, or the lack of it, and needing to get it to start winning
Kawhi went ahead and focused on defensive trust (since Tyronn Lue usually refers to offensive trust). KYP, ATD.

This season, Ivica Zubac has averaged more touches per game than any Clipper outside of James Harden.
That was the case last season as well. Of course, LAC had a training camp intended to have Bradley Beal be more of a playmaker, but that option failed
Asked Zu about his role
