00:00One of the best adjustments the Clickers made in the series against the Dallas Mavericks
00:04was inserting Landry Schammett back in the starting lineup.
00:08Landry used to be a starter for the team back before Kawhi Leonard and Paul George were
00:12part of the team, and he kind of got shifted away and into the bench, and he just seemed
00:16to have a hard time trying to figure out what his role was.
00:19Sometimes he wouldn't play, and sometimes he would.
00:21Now, as Patrick Breville was injured, Schammett was inserted into the starting lineup after
00:26Game 3, and honestly, it's the best thing they could have done, because in the first
00:30two games off the bench, Schammett was a minus 31.
00:33In the last four games in the starting lineup, he was a plus 37.
00:38Paul George noticed the renewed sense of confidence from Landry Schammett and said, it's not that
00:42he's doing anything different.
00:43I think he's found his confidence.
00:45He's being aggressive, and you know he's making plays.
00:47We're making plays for him, and he's finding his way.
00:50So the big question for the Clippers is, what happens when Patrick Breville goes back into
00:55the starting lineup?
00:57Does Landry Schammett go back into the bench?
00:59Is he even going to play?
01:01What's his confidence going to be like?
01:03The Clippers certainly haven't been the dominant team everyone's expected them to be, but we've
01:07seen cameos and flashes of it throughout the season, and it seems like what they're missing
01:12to be that dominant team is continuity and confidence.
01:18A lot of guys just don't know what their roles are because of a lack of continuity, and I
01:22think that is something that needs to be solved as the postseason continues.
