Sometimes the shot attempt versus the defender isn't always the greatest thing because then you're talking about the possessions where Cat decided not to shoot, so it's almost as if the defender isn't getting any credit. For that, that's why opponent's field goal percentage at times is really good and also at times really misleading. Here's the point.

The point is that Cat decided after game two in the fourth quarter of taking zero shots that the directive, whether it was the coaching staff, whether it was the film, whether it was his teammates, maybe it was all of those things. But Cat had to decide, I'm going to be more aggressive and I'm going to be quicker. And he took six shots in the first quarter.

And I think it just set a tone for him at least to be engaged because basketball is funny that way. If you don't get to touch the ball and you don't get to shoot early on, it can actually leak into how you just have those moments where you've got to wake up. You've got to wake up in this game. If you get off to a really slow start for scores, for shooters, they can almost... Not talk themselves.

They kind of take themselves out of the game because they've set their own tone by not being very aggressive. So six shots in the first quarter. And again, I think that was a massive carryover from probably how Cat felt about how many touches he had, how... How just not part of the offense he was in that fourth quarter.

Really some good defensive stuff there, too, where New York cranked it up, met the ball right at half court. Some really good stuff from them forcing turnovers and getting out and handling a barrage of hardaway threes early on in this one. The Clippers take out Denver in game three. Denver is in some trouble here. That was an ass-kicking, okay?

Now you may say, well, you know, they were kind of flirting 10 and then 20 points. It was like 20 points forever until it wasn't. Just to put this into perspective, Denver started 8-9 from the floor in this game. They were up 26-19 in the first quarter. So at 3-15 of the first quarter when that's the score, you're like, all right, Denver's making shots and they're figuring this out a little bit.

Um, from that point on with the final score, that means that LA outscored Denver to the end of the game, 98 to 57. Okay. That's balanced scoring from the Clippers, four players between 19 and 21 points. The bench for LA outscored Denver's bench 31 to six. I'm sure that's not shocking to many of you. Um,

Even with what looked like a bad Westbrook game to start, nine minutes, one of five, who knows with him? He could get hot, hit a couple threes. We know the uncontested numbers for him are really good over the course of the season because he's going to have a lot of uncontested looks and just being comfortable and adjusting to how he would play off Jokic. So maybe he would turn it around.
