The LA Clippers turned in a very poor showing against the Golden State Warriors earlier this month, falling to a Golden State team that was without Steph Curry. Speaking with the media before Tuesday's practice, Clippers star Paul George said he expects a different team than the one that lost to Golden State two weeks ago.

"I thought we were just uncharacteristic at that time," George said. "That wasn't the team that we are now. And they play well at home, they feed off that crowd at home. I thought we had some bad execution, bad shot selection, and just turnovers that led to them making the game easy for them. So I definitely expect a different team come tomorrow night."

On the challenge of facing Steph Curry, George said, "Just being alert at all times... He's a threat as soon as he crosses half court, and you just gotta be alert. It takes a team to guard Steph."

When asked about Golden State as a team, specifically their road struggles, George said, "Just uncharacteristic, especially with their DNA that they haven't performed well on the road. But who they are at home is who they've been, especially on their championship runs. But you gotta expect that they do have that in them. And that's the team that you gotta expect to play every night."
