LA Clippers star Norman Powell opened up on how the team has changed without Paul George and Russell Westbrook
Last season, the LA Clippers were one of the most hyped-up teams in the league, comprised of four different All-Stars. They were a team containing Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook. Throughout this early season, they've been just as competitive with James Harden and Norman Powell.
When it comes to why the shorthanded Clippers have been so successful this season, Norman Powell believes it's because it's harder to play with four All-Stars than it is with more team-first players. Powell revealed his thoughts during an exclusive interview with"I think the way we’re playing with the group of guys that we have – and it’s not to knock or say anything – is more team-oriented and less star-dominant," Powell said.
"I think this year we have guys who are really team-oriented and team-focused on both sides of the ball who are willing to learn, grow, and have the mentality of doing whatever it takes to win," Powell said. "Everybody’s coachable and focused on the task at hand. There are no egos. I think the atmosphere has been a lot of fun. We’re playing pure basketball.
