The Anti-PG "Pacers fans" are one of the dumbest groups out there. Guy was great all series except one game and its cause the guy has no heart.
 
Oh and he isn't clutch in the slightest, as long as you ignore that he was fourth best in the league when it came to shooting in the clutch this year, minimum 100 attempts.

Yeah there is way more than game winning shots. I'll take being able to hit shots over the course of a 5 minute stretch in a game over one shot any day of the week

I know the article included that I was more jut giving in overview. However a guy that has never hit a go ahead or game winner in the final seconds shouldn't say he has to have the final shot.

He is what I want PG to be when talking to the media

I would prefer PG sign his extension this summer and remain a Pacer for the rest of his career. Having said that, this guy does have a tendency to only show up when he wants to. And for a guy that spends 99% of his time blaming the refs, his teammates, the fans, etc. it has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, myself included. He's a pitiful excuse for a leader on/off the court. Always putting his teammates down for the very things he does himself. And then a game like today literally everyone shows up except him. Did his teammates tear him down? Of course not. The fact of the matter is he has had a history of skating through most of the regular season and turning it on near the end of the year. He isn't clutch which has hurt us who knows how many times and then turns around and says he doesn't have enough help. I have a PG jersey, I have a PG t-shirt, and I have a PG poster in my room. He used to be my favorite player. What he's turned into I greatly despise. I still root for him hard so I wouldn't consider myself a "PG hater", but he certainly deserves his fair share of criticism. And since he won't say it himself the fans/media have to say it for him.

It's time for changes. Fire McMillan, get rid of Monta and CJ, get Myles in the weight room, re-sign Teague and go get Hayward, Lopez and JJ Reddick. Your lineup consists of Teague, Hayward, PG, Myles and Lopez. Your bench consists of some unknown PG, Robinson, Reddick, Thad and Seraphin. That team should be able to compete in the East

Pacers don't have enough money to re-sign Teague and sign Redick. That's without even mentioning Hayward or Lopez.

Pretty sure he owned the end of the game yesterday in the post game press conference.

His comments about his teammates got spun by national media. Go back and listen to the actual interview. He answered the questions he was asked honestly. PG has his faults, but that's not one of them in my opinion.

Yeah I did hear he finally realized he could ignore a question yesterday that was nice to see. I'm no fan of the media, but I've read all the things he's said and regardless of whether they were honest or not many of them didn't need to be brought outside the locker room. You handle that in house, don't put it out there for the media to pick apart.

The same people saying Paul George is clutch are probably the people saying LeBron isn't clutch. Smh!

Lebron is only clutch because you can't play any defense on him in the final minutes of a close game.

Yea it can't possibly be because he's one of the greatest of all time.

I would argue that the most clutch play in Lebron's career was when he pinned Andre Iguodala's layup in game 7.

I would agree with you.

LeBron stops the layup, Kyrie goes down and hits the go ahead 3, five point swing. Golden State likely wins the Finals if he doesn't get to that shot.

The season for the Trail Blazers was essentially finished at the end of the first quarter of last night's game as the allowed the Warriors to score 45 first quarter points and trailed 45-22 at the end of the 1st Q.  Final score 128-103 as the Warriors sweep the series.

Warriors the 4th team to score 45 first quarter points in a playoff game but the first to do it on the road.

Vonleh has been putting up some great rebound numbers lately. Hopefully this offseason he puts in some more work and takes an even bigger leap next season.
