Harden-Mann-George-Leonard-Zubac is now the most-used LAC lineup since PG and Kawhi arrived in 2019. And it’s January. The frustration of past seasons, what it took to gel, how much better they can be — it’s all in my convos with Clippers starters here:

Next up for Clippers: At Lakers on Sunday night.
Last time the two teams met on Nov. 1, Lakers beat the Clippers in overtime. James Harden made his Clippers’ debut the next game so this will be the Lakers’ first time facing Clippers with Harden. – 10:33 PM

Paul George capped a 9-0 Clippers run with an efficient midrange turnaround fade over the much shorter Jose Alvarado, a Harden assist
Largest lead of the game at 47-36 for Clippers. Willie Green burns another timeout with 2:44 left in 1st half
Clippers defense has been superb. – 8:56 PM

New Orleans leads 15-13 at first mandatory timeout, but Zion Williamson fouled James Harden in act of a 3-point shot, so there will be a chance for Clippers to take a lead
This game has real shootout potential, which might be only chance for Clippers to win. Mismatches galore… – 8:20 PM

Another game where Brandon Ingram takes a difficult matchup from opening tip. He’s on Kawhi. CJ on Harden. Zion on Mann. – 8:12 PM

Quickley’s financial future is less certain after turning down extension offers. But after reportedly asking for $125 million, the guard is in a better position to earn that figure in free agency after a showcase season in Toronto. Maxey also benefited from a greater opportunity this season because Philadelphia traded James Harden. He is now a front-runner for an All-Star nod. “I’m pretty sure [Quickley] will be OK,” Maxey said. “He’ll make a lot of money.” -via New York Post / January 6, 2024

Andrew Greif: James Harden: LAC’s early struggles in November “gave people so much to talk about in a negative way and now those people that were talking are nowhere to be found.

Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving said he did not request that a courtside sign be removed during a game against the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City this week, even after it sparked an interaction between the player and a prominent Jazz fan who wanted to see Irving play in person following Irving’s 2022 suspension with the Brooklyn Nets for posting a link to an antisemitic film on his social media. -via The Athletic / January 4, 2024
Tim MacMahon: Kyrie Irving says he made no complaint about the Utah rabbi’s sign, confirming the account of a Mavs source. Irving: “I wish him and his family well. No disrespect going their way. That’s not my MO.” -via Twitter @espn_macmahon / January 4, 2024
