‘I Won’t Lie’ Paul George Gets Real On Injury After Clippers Loss Against Zion Williamson, Pelicans

A lot in the first half was was strugle fore and everything like you know how are you feeling and um just how do you you know how would you assess the game you think uh I mean it was just a a tough game coming back from a two we road trip

Being out east um getting late um and just trying to get back adjusted on this time um you play against a a a team that’s going to challenge you they challenge us um and I just thought that we was kind of just getting back um into the flow of being back

Home uh but it was a rough one um from a rhythm standpoint um you know I didn’t think I was a rhythm on game um obiously show we’re struggling to shoot but uh know reason why it’s 82 of them um Saturday should be you know um different

Story now that we’re back for a couple days what have uh practice um and uh should be a better flow Ty said something about um yeah I mean it’s sore but I can you know at this point I can kind of play through it um you know it’s it’s sore it’s sore

Won’t lie about it but you know I’m not going to um you know let use that as an excuse use um for tonight um if I’m on the court if I’m out there then uh I expect to get everything you’ve been a team leader here you know over the course of these

Last three years you know that tomorrow is with the deadline and everything like what’s been the feeling with the team like how’s it been different compared to previous years um I mean I think just the group is focused uh we’re just focused on moving forward um I guess that’s definitely more so than

Any other year um you know we’re we’re honestly not looking to make any moves I mean I don’t think that we are we’re looking in this locker room thinking where can we get better we know we have enough to win right now um and so yeah I mean I don’t think anyone’s nervous

For um worried about their position in their spot here um you I think we’re in a good place with a with a great Locker well I think the shooting and the scoring is you’ve had some good defensive games especially on the trip are you still looking for ways you can you know

Contribute even though you’re dealing with the soreness the pain and the shots aren’t falling down yeah yeah I mean uh you know I’m just trying to find ways to uh work through it um you know but again I don’t never pride myself on just being onedimensional

Um you know I think I can do and cover all facets of the game so um you know shooting it’s whatever um you know make a Miss League um I rely on being able to do multiple things on the floor so um you know not making shots doesn’t uh

Really affect you know um me I would say in a way of course I want to make shots but shots aren’t falling I know there’s other things that I can do to kind of help my team with ivly being named in Allstar was nth of you um any part of

You kind of wish you maybe have that time off to rest your growing at all or you plan to take that break easy yeah I mean that’s first and foremost um obviously it’s this is the main focus um winning games going into the Break um and we’ll address that um when

We get to it um I’m 100% um worried about my health first then the allstar um weekend um so we’ll see pushing through it right now it would be nice to get some rest um that’s six seven days I don’t know how long we got off during that break will

Be nice uh for my growing so uh we’ll see but I am going to take it one day at a time one game at a time and see where it goes

  1. As long as Kawhi, James, Westbrook, and PG aren’t injured at the same time come Playoffs. They should be good.

  2. I think it may be time to trade PG he hasn’t been a game changer and that’s what we need people with a championship drive I’m seeing that in every but PG

  3. Paul george has been averaging 14 points per game in the last 10 games. I need him to be better asap! Because without you being aggressive then its causing kawhi to get double teamed alot. You need to be better and if you're hurt then sit down

  4. I ain’t gone lie. I know he hurt. If this was last year he would be sittin out. He just trying to get that max contract next year. I like the new rule but I think coach Lue is going to have to step in

  5. PG's problem is he relies on his jumper too much, he has NO post game and doesn't punish lighter and smaller defenders.

  6. 0/9 from 3, unforced turnovers, bad shots. No reason to have him out there vs. the brewmaster last night

  7. PELS played great… defense suffocated our O for sure. Last six games PG has scored under 20 points – injury again? mental again? Idk, but I hope he gets it together.
    Kawhi has completely changed his approach to the game in so many ways and PG needs to follow suite. I think Starbucks has averaged more than PG at this point over the last several games. Geesh. Getting too close to the end guys! Hold out!

  8. “Playoff P” has every excuse!!

    First its the bubble so he has “mental health” issues.

    Now its “oh we got in late, so we need to adjust”

    What’s next? 🤔🤔
