They are acting like the suns are dominating the series, the suns won game 2 on a last second play otherwise clippers would up 2-1, calm down perk, paul george has done more than people expected of him, no one is expecting the clippers to make it to the finals without kawhi anyway but they can certainly make it a battle against the suns

Paul George is better than Dame, Booker and Mitchell

Perk… shut up

at his best he’s better than other top 10 talents because he’s 2 WAY TOP 10 – NOT JUST OFFENSE. HE CAN strip someone or intercept passes and then finish on the other end… or play amazing defense and go out and pop a trey – so at his best he may be better than other strictly offensive top 10 players… he was top 3 mvp candidate in okc a few years ago… and hes been clutch recently (other than the free throws)
but we’ll see – what happens next

They disrespect Paul George they don’t criticize him. Anytime the man has a bad game they make fun of him. They act like players can’t have a bad game

Perk said he’d give PG his props if he plays well. Dude has balled out all playoffs and Perk has given him no props lol. He’s a hater

LeBron James takes the heat like a man when he fails??? LMAO… So I was dreaming when LeBron James was on the Cavaliers and lost embarrassingly to the Golden State Warriors sweep than gentlemen’s sweep respectively 2017-2018 and he comes out on the podium on the post series press conference in a fake cast!!!! Trying to get sympathy!!!! Did that not happen???? How about the fake racist slur at his mansion in LA???

Yeah he put the pressure on himself. but he doesn’t deserve pandemic P trending and people behind their keyboards talking their mess. bc most people couldn’t do what PG does.

PG has been cool he hasn’t said anything about this pandemic P at least not that I’ve heard. KD is sensitive you’ll hear from him.

If he takes this team to the Finals, he is definitely better than most of Max’s top 20 list. EAZY

But it’s not like PG is playing badly, he’s averaging 29points a game this series but First take is still bashing him, this is a bunch of BS.And btw he hasn’t complained its you guys on first take complaining because you’ve been criticized but oh my God PG is soft, it’s laughable.

When’s the last time you see a player drop 25+ pts on 8 consecutive playoff games after snapping his leg in two? Media never brings up the fact that PG suffered a potential career-ending injury, returned from it, and drop those kind of numbers all while missing Kawhi the last 5 games.
