Let me start saying that PG is full of shit with his excuses after that pathetic performance in the playoffs against Mavs, He had a okay game 1 and decent game 4 outta 6 games as first option while the best playe, he was in foul trouble in half of that series till Ty lue decided PG wont guard Luka Doncic or Kyrie Irving to help with foul trouble.

If you take out If u take out his game 4 performance here are his stats:
Total Points: 84
Average Points per Game: 16.8
Field Goals Made/Attempted: 28/76
Field Goal Percentage: 36.8%
Three-Pointers Made/Attempted: 11/39
Three-Point Percentage: 28.2%
1- In 2020 Paul George was on all smoke podcast and he voiced how Doc Rivers misused him
Doc was trying to play me as like a Ray Allen, a J.J. Reddick — all pin downs,” George said. “I can do it. But that ain’t my game
2- In 2022 Clippers front office decided to go with John Wall over Hartenstein because Paul George wanted a point guard and he didnt want ball handling or playmaking duties that decision turned to be one of the worst decisions that front office did so far. They got rid of Reggie, wall and decided to go with Mann at point guard while Kawhi and PG do a lot of ball handling but PG started complaining because he was getting guarded by jrue hoilday for entire game and he went on press conference begging L.Frank to sign Russ

3- In the beginning of the season Clippers traded for Harden.Most of the players they traded weren't even contributing with their teams, Morris got traded and released, KJ was on the bench, RoCo was injured all year so it was basically Batum who had some sorta of impact with sixers. Clippers won 51 games and it was mostly because of that trade and they won 51 games including winning 26 of 31 games, They were the best team in the nba for 2 months and got themselves 4th seed.
So it is disrespectful for PG to complain about doing "dirty work" when Kawhi was doing most of the work at 4, Paul George seems to want the max contract of a superstar but with the roleplayer responsibility and expectations

Not disrespectful to point out he and Kawhi played this season and the playoffs with a freaking power forward.
Put a real roster together and then complain about 213.
Love Steve Ballmer, but I’m losing optimism about his ownership decisions regarding holding the front office accountable.
No lies told. PG is delusional af.
Need pg and westbrick gone next year. Lawrence Frank has a plan for me 🤞🏾
In short, PG wants to be an all star max player that doesn’t do ball handling, playmaking, or 3D.
He’s a role player asking for superstar contracts
