Although without Kawhi, it seems that Clippers have settled down with Paul George as the leading and then Reggie Jackson as the second option now. I think the key for them to win and stop that winning streak of the Suns is how to stop Devin Booker who is tearing them with his mid jump shot and assists.
That was a low-scoring game as defense on Booker is intense but still, they won via that alley-oop to DA.
Damn, I could not believe that a superstar's knees would buckle under pressure, missing two clutch free throws that could have sealed the win for the Clippers, I think this will haunt Paul George if they will lose the series .
Paul George is only human after all, and having to count solely on him all through the series is going to take a huge toll on him, I mean you what happened to Kelvin Durant in the last game against the Bucks, these players are human and the fatigue is always they only barely get a day rest and people want the efficiency to remain the same or even better, ffs.
Paul George is no Kevin Durant. He was on his way to being a top 5 player in the league when he destroyed his leg in that Olympic accident. Since then he's had the ego of a top 5 player, but is far from it. I'm not sure he'd make top 20. If it wasn't for his reputation, I don't think he'd be an all star player. He's let his defense slip and he's never been a dominant enough offensive player to carry a team. Nowadays his nonchalant style leads to people routinely stealing the ball from him, or him throwing up garbage shots that don't go in at a high enough clip to warrant them. I thought Kawhi was nuts to join Pandemic P over LeBron and AD. This is exactly what I expected to happen. I think it's only a matter of time until Paul George goes from a max player to being bought out and I was a fan of his (up until that ridiculous commercial where he drains a game winning shot in spite of having a horrendous history of missing game winners).
