Paul George: Coach Rivers used me like JJ Redikk/Ray Allen No adjustments

[Shadow King]

Star NBA players should never blame a coach....If PG didnt like how hes used he should have spoken up and told Rivers and told him where he wants the ball...NBA stars can do that unlike other sports...This nikka has never taken any accountability and thats why hes married to an ugly ass stripper...

Nah

He’s on the same tier as LeBron today. There’s absolutely no denying that. As far as career wise, he’s not on any of those guys level and I don’t think anyone has claimed that. He is a great scorer and is more efficient than Kobe while playing better defense. I still think Kobe is better because of his peak ability when hot but it Kawhi gets one or 2 more rings it will be a fair comparison to make. The other 2 are going to be harder to come by...

And he already led a team to a championship last year. A team that was the pretty much the same exact team as the years before that kept choking every year.

Who’s on the same tier as LeBron

Throwing Doc all the way under the bus

Hes a wackass coach.
And been a wackass coach.

Like cp3 n blake caught the blame last time

Kobe and Bron separate themselves from Kawhi with their playmaking, passing, and decision making. Honestly, Kawhi ain’t even on Durant’s level as a playmaker.

Playmaking is definitely his weakness but that can be covered up by just pairing him with a playmaking point guard. Kobe’s decision making wasn’t always the best either but agree with the rest of the post

Kawhi, KD, and Giannis.

You might put Bron over these players (I don’t put him over KD when healthy) but he’s definitely not head and shoulders better than them

PG is a liar he wasn't used like Ray or JJ at all. Ray would have killed for all those ISOs. shyt if Ray had all his touches the Clippers would have gotten past Denver. He only name dropped them to make it sound plausible to pin the blame on Doc, man no wonder Doc's daughter caught him cheating he can't lie for shyt. fukking phony.

Inaccurate. As much a I hate PG, he was a way better ISO player than Allen. Prime Ray Allen was weak defensively and could never be the 2nd best player on a championship team. Doubt they would make it past Denver with him instead.

Always excuses. First he said that bubble isolation was causing mental issues, now the system that got them to the Conference Semi Finals was the problem.

Man at first I looked at the PG hate as just jokes but how he really used mental illness as an excuse didn't sit right with me. That's a real serious discussion for those who really went thru the struggle. With guys like Kevin Love and Kyle Lowry we see them going through that process, but PG only brought it up when he wasn't playing very well. Tried to blame the bubble for the cause of his depression like everyone else wasn't going through the same thing and couldn't even give a good answer to why the bubble caused it. This nikka had one good game and all of a sudden he says he's back then proceeds to struggle.

Crazy how he's still spending more time making excuses about how last season went instead of talking about the upcoming season. I wonder who will get the blame this season if everyone else to blame is gone except himself?

I'm all for letting the boys breathe but that's a helluva wide sitting stance

He doesnt win that ring if the Warriors are healthy.

At the end of the day he's a top guy but no one is giving him that level of respect. Last year would've been the year but the Clips flopped. To be fair to Kawhi he was balling out all playoffs, his only failure was game 7 vs denver.

Just take a look at threads last summer and throughout the season. He didn't live up to the billing that said championship was largely responsible for.

 

[Copy Ninja]

He fukked the man's daughter, Cheated on her with a stripper and knocked the stripper up, signed to his team, played like shyt, got him fired and still have the never to talk shyt about him.

Wouldn't be mad if Doc shot this nikka.

You know Doc looking at this like

 

[Roland Coltrane]

Doc definitely used PG wrong. But they both play that same SF position. I don't know why people thought he and KL were a good fit

Presumably because either could have slid to the 3?


There's no positions in sports as interchangeable as shooting guard and small forward

 

[Roland Coltrane]

So why wasn't this a problem in Indiana or OKC? This man was a mvp finalist in OKC.

I read that comment and had the same gut reaction like "fukk is this nikka talmbout
"

Prime PG in terms of tools and skillset is THEE ideal prototypical wing, you couldn't create somebody with that type of handle, shooting, defense, and athleticism in a laboratory


I really thought he was gonna take that next step and be a top 5 player
