the Clippers really need Kawhi back

to their credit they're still in this despite PG shooting badly, but with Kawhi they'd probably be winning

Paul George is supposed to be a 40%+ 3-point shooter but it feels like he hits maaaaybe 20% in the playoffs.

glad the suns came out strong to win the first two and destroy any legitimacy to the "cp3 for mvp" argument. If you can be sufficiently replaced by cam Payne how you gonna be mvp yall

Looks like the only team that had bad luck in the Lottery was OKC. They could have had their own top 4 pick and also Houston 5 i think.

Both teams played like poo poo because they were missing their best players. If CP3 comes back and Kawhi doesn't I think the Suns could sweep.

Thought the same thing, so I looked it up and he does underperform in the playoffs.

He's a career .384 3pt shooter in the regular season and shot .411 this season.

He's a career .356 3pt shooter in the playoffs and has shot .306 in round 1, .417 in round 2, and is shooting .348 this series.

His last series mark is the first time he has shot above .400 in the playoffs since the 2017 Eastern Conference Finals where his Pacers were swept by Lebron's Cavs. He played in 5 playoff series between then and last series. At no point in those 5 series did he shoot better than his current career percentage either.

he's one of the better defenders in the league and can defend 1 to 5. he doesn't need to really improve to be worth his contract, he just needs to play at his regular season level this year and not what he did in the playoffs

get him to a team where he's the 3rd or 4th offensive option and there's no reason to think he can't at least be get back to being a productive player on a winning team, even if he's never gonna be an all NBA player

all he has to do is hit free throws at like 60%

I mean he doesn't show the work ethic or personal drive for betterment as a Wiggins level player but the blue chip draft position would make it a reasonable switch
