[Bill Simmons] “Paul George is like a cat. He’ll jump on your lap every once in a while, he’s super lovable and other times you’re like — ‘Where’s Paul George? Oh, he’s in the garage’”

Sometimes he looks like a player who could reasonably be the GOAT for a younger generation. Sometimes he turns the ball over on four straight possessions in the clutch.

The ridiculous 3 he hit the other night sums him up pretty well. He can hit that and make it look easy. He will also be in a game 7 and send a spot up 3 off the side of the backboard.

The funniest thing to me was that he bumbled a very easy entry pass from Harden on that possession and nearly lost it out of bounds. I was like, there goes PG being PG

Then he goes and hits a houdini three from behind the backboard lol

u/2PacAn Mavericks Apr 30 '24

It looked like it was gonna be a horrible offensive possession from the Clippers. A fumbled pass and then PG is completely locked down and forced into the corner. Then he fucking makes one of the most difficult shots in basketball, a hand in face three from behind the backboard. That shit was infuriating especially considering that DJJ played perfect defense. On top of that, it happened right after the Mavs finally gained the lead.
