Not sure Ainge wants to jump back into the fire… Off hand, I think they might look around for someone who already has a relationship with Billups. But easier to speculate when the job is open — and it isn’t. – 5:34 PM

Paul George — your Western Conference Player of the Week — certainly had it going these past few days.
What’s more, he helped Ivica Zubac get it going too.

Paul George on the Clippers’ four-game win streak: “We’re finding our rhythm. … we’ve been pretty good defensively. Offensively is where we struggled to start the year, so that’s our biggest improvement.
“That’s it, we’ve been confident shooting our shots.” – 1:12 AM

Defensive miscommunications continue out of the timeout. Terance Mann and Paul George were each looking at the other like they should have been in a different position. – 11:12 PM

Paul George is on quadruble-double watch — which unfortunately for Clippers, includes 8 of LA’s 20 turnovers.
That’s the second time this week that George has matched is career-high in giveaways, and he’s not shooting as well as he did Wednesday night to make up for it. – 11:09 PM

Paul George’s shot selection has been good for the most part this season, and he usually earns his heat checks … but sometimes, his heat checks are not ideal.

Ben Anderson: Quin Snyder on Rudy Gobert as an MVP candidate and the respect he deserves: “Our team is built around Rudy. If you’re going to have a team that’s built around you in many respects — that says something right there.” -via Twitter @BensHoops / November 2, 2021
Harrison Wind: JaMychal Green on Nikola Jokic: “He’s gonna win MVP again.” -via Twitter @HarrisonWind / October 23, 2021
Spencer Dinwiddie: For example, this NBA MVP Prediction Model was created by self-proclaimed “NBA Nerd” and data scientist Peter Li. Li’s model predicted the 2018-19 season’s MVP would be James Harden, who in actuality came second to Giannis Antetokounmpo that year. The lingering question, however, is would there be a benefit to build an added layer of value on the fan-inclusion process? Potentially. The system could be built with analytics that tracked engagement in tandem with predictions made. These could then be cross-referenced with incumbent methods and integrated based on their efficacy, allowing amateur and professional analysts to financially prosper by participating. -via Sportico / September 16, 2021
