Paul George Is Officially Back And He Looks Better Than Ever
After 11 games which we saw the Clippers go 7-4 and currently sit in the 5th seed, Paul George has returned and the PG13 era is officially underway. Now we finally get to see what this dynamic duo looks like while sharing a floor together (if Kawhi ever plays) and we see just how for real this Clippers team might be. So far we know a couple things about them already, Kawhi is the same killer basketball robot who has improved his playmaking and is a certified beast. Their "bench" is once again among the best in the league, Harrell and Sweet Lou are legit problems, and when engaged this team can defend with the best of em. Well now they add an All NBA talent on both ends in Paul George and as you can see by his 10 points in the first quarter is picking right up where he left off last season.
George's return comes at a good time with Shamet now out, this team could use another shooter and someone to help their current point differential (4th in West) and net rating (9th). But it's also awesome for the rest of us basketball fans that simply enjoy watching Paul George play. The league is obviously better when the best players are healthy and playing, and considering Paul George can at time fuck around looking like an MVP candidate I'd say this is a win for fans not named Lakers fans. There's no arguing that the Lakers have flexed a little bit to start the year, and now with George back let's see if he can actually make this a potential rivalry.
