Apologies to Paul George. I predicted on today's Undisputed he'd go for 30/13/10. How about 41/13/6 on 15-20 from the floor, 3-6 from 3 and EIGHT-OF-EIGHT from the line? I doubt him. I try to motivate him. I still believe in Playoff P.

This Zubac injury forcing Ty Lue to play small might just win them the series. Lanes open, ball pops around, and Ayton has his worst game. The Clippers are an amazing small ball team even without Kawhi.

Paul George is the greatest player in Clippers franchise history

Sure you could be mad at the refs, but I'd look at the Suns' lack of effort on defense and poor plan on offense for why they lost this one.

If you hear people spouting off on Paul George after this year, just mute them and carry on
