Paul George has quietly been having a helluva run during the postseason. Big FU to all of the critics.

This is how sports works.

If he is instrumental in winning a ring and shows up big when the claw is out or diminished, then all previous shortcomings and indiscretions will be forgotten.

It’s really that simple.

I gave LeBron a break after his first loss to the Warriors. Other than Game 6 at Boston, I've never seen him play better. He almost willed that team to a title.

Without the explosion from Mann the Clippers are probably getting ready to go fishing.

I've never been much of a fan either(I think he's gutless), but the newfound fanboys on the Clippers bandwagon have led me to pull really hard for the Suns.

They were up 3-2

I think he gets a bad rap. He was easily the best player on a Pacers team that took the Heat to 7 games in the Conference Finals.

I think Lue has figured out how to use him where Doc did not.

In the West Finals I like both squads. I'm just glad the Lakers were bounced and bounced early.

This is exactly the point. The best player on an otherwise hard hat lunch pail team.

You woulda thought by teaming up with other stars he'd be winnin' more.

Instead, he always looks confused and dumbfounded and finds a way to lose.

Never let the facts get into a Willy Nilly Walt Narrative I suppose.

Hey Great! Walt quotes a stat which places PG13 in the company of Hall of Famers and somehow thinks it serves as an indictment of him

If PG13 is "pathetic" then I wonder what this guy's idea of great happens to be? I already know. Jimmy Buckets

He put in work in the 2nd half last night. The Suns came out and played like the Clippers were going to lay down.

He has dropped 20 or better in every game this post season. He has had a couple of bad moments but for the most he has been getting it done.

_________________

Last night he delivered in a major way, but he has different expectations as a superstar player. What he does when the game is on the line matters more than his box score. Similar to Giannis. Giannis pretty much puts up 30 and 12 every night. He also makes a lot of dumb decisions at key moments. If Middleton doesn't explode the other night, they lose even with a hobbled Young.

I will always give him props for taking a shiity ass Indiana team with Lance "Make Her Dance" Stephenson (ew was he garbage) as the team's 2nd best player to the ECF as a 22 year old. Not only that but they took the Vaunted Heat to 7 in the same series and more importantly he locked up with LeBron while doing it.

We can debate whether he is a superstar or not. I don't know if he is or not but the guy has game and I'd much rather have him on my squad than not if given the choice.

_________________

When he "arrived" I think most people thought he was going to be competing with LeBron for the best player crown. Not sure if it was his injury or his game just plateaued but he never got there.

I think he is a superstar, but he lost me as a fan after his time in OKC. His attitude rubbed me the wrong way and he started disappearing. That being said, I obviously would still love if the Bulls had him.

It's hard to play with Westbrook. I have come to realize that. I even gave him props for not throwing Westbrook under the bus. I know MANY that would have.

If he takes them to the Finals he completely redeems himself and if he doesn't he somewhat redeems himself.

_________________

He's already redeemed himself in my eyes. He's a #2 that stepped up when most doubted him.

But I still don't like him.
