Paul George Reveals Best PG In The NBA

by

Paul George’s new podcast, Podcast P with Paul George, has been generating a ton of viewership. George has shared a few opinions that have gained plenty of traction. Including George’s comments on NBA players being able to make the jump to the NFL easier than NFL stars could make the switch. That topic garnered a lot of heat from both sides, proving who is the most athletic. However, the Wave Sports + Entertainment-backed podcast is back for more heated debates. Including the conversation of the best point guard in the NBA.

George claims there is only one point guard that can do it all in today’s NBA. That point guard is Chicago Bulls star Lonzo Ball. “What can’t Lonzo do? He can guard, can shoot, can play make, his IQ, he can rebound great for his position.” George believes that Ball has every asset needed to be a basketball star. The Clippers star sees Ball as a threat at any moment on the floor. However, Ball hasn’t been healthy enough to play for over a year. Plus, recent news on Ball’s injury doesn’t bring good news for his future on the court.

Paul George Respects Lonzo Ball’s Game

George knows exactly what it’s like to deal with injuries. The Clippers forward has been ruled out for the team’s first-round series with the Suns. However, George is trending toward being available for the Clippers second-round series. But the Suns will look to end the Clippers season on Tuesday night. Ball did not appear in one game this season with the Bulls. The Chicago star has been dealing with a severe knee injury. In his last season, Ball appeared in just 35 games for the Bulls before the injury.

The hype behind Ball has always been strong. Even going back to his days as a star for the UCLA Bruins. However, now Ball is forced to be on the sidelines while he sees players like De’Aaron Fox shine on the brightest stage. Ball’s injury history has now become a massive part of his NBA legacy. However, there are still those like George that believe in his talents. Do you agree with Paul George that Ball is the most complete PG in the NBA? If not, who is the best PG in the league to you?

Paul George Has Strong Words For Potential NBA Rule Change

by

Paul George has had to watch his team from the sidelines this post-season. The Los Angeles Clippers star has been ruled out for the team’s first-round matchup with the Phoenix Suns. Now the team will also be without Kawhi Leonard for Game 3. While the Clippers are barely hanging on to their playoff lives, George has taken to his podcast to discuss the situation. As well as other big questions centered around the NBA. One of the biggest debates going on today is the potential change of the charge rule.

However, George is one of the NBA stars who doesn’t see banning the charge as a good thing. In a recent episode of Podcast P with Paul George, the Clippers star discussed his disagreement with the potential change. “I’m not a fan of taking that out of the game. I think it’s a great play. Quite frankly, you make your freshmen team in high school because you put your body on the line.  Don’t adjust the charge. I know it sucks seeing the stars go down in the playoffs.”

Paul George Thinks Playoff Injuries Are Unfortunate

The charge is a vital part of the game. Recently, Sixers head coach Doc Rivers discussed the potential of seeing the charge gone. Rivers shared the same sentiment as George. The Sixers coach stated that without the rule, teams would potentially score 250 points in one game. As George mentioned, the recent injuries of players in the playoffs have been unfortunate. But the blame cannot go strictly on the charge. Putting your body on the line is just part of the game. Yet the conversation is still being had.

While it doesn’t seem like the NBA has had serious conversations about getting rid of the charge. However, it does seem like there is becoming a slow movement of folks getting on board of changing the rule. Drop your thoughts on the potential rule change in our comment section.

Ty Lue Comments On Paul George’s Availability

by

Ty Lue spoke with the media on Friday, ahead of the Clippers playoff start. The Clippers will open playoff play with a difficult matchup against the Phoenix Suns. However, the Clippers may not be at full strength during the series with the Suns. Clippers star forward Paul George has been out since March, dealing with an injury. George missing the series against the Suns will put the Clippers in a massive hole. But Lue isn’t worried about rushing George back into the lineup.

“We’re definitely not gonna do anything to hurt PG even if he does try to come back. If he’s not right, then we’re not gonna let him injure himself and make it worse than what it really is.” It has recently been reported that George wouldn’t be available for the series against the Suns. Now it looks like Lue is confirming that report without actually confirming it. The loss will be huge in regards to how the Clippers will defend Phoenix star Kevin Durant. Without George, the Clippers will need to look to Kawhi Leonard for a great defensive performance.

Ty Lue Will Not Rush Paul George Back

A lot of teams have dealt with the injury bug. Recently the New Orleans Pelicans dealt with a big injury in Zion Williamson. Williamson’s absence from the team was a factor in the team missing the playoffs. Not only will the Clippers be dealing with injuries. But so will the Phoenix Suns. Suns guard Chris Paul isn’t 100%, as well as Durant. However, neither team will be looking to blame injuries on their playoff success.

Lue knows just how important George is to the Clippers, But that doesn’t mean rushing back his star player to further damage him physically. George’s injury couldn’t have come at a worse time. However, that is how it goes sometimes. Injuries are unexpected and a part of the game. Ty Lue and the Clippers are just unfortunate victims of the circumstances. Without George, do the Clippers stand a chance against the Suns? Please give us your thoughts on the state of the Clippers in the comment section.

Paul George Believes NFL Stars Can’t Make The Leap To NBA

by

Paul George will not be available for the Los Angeles Clippers first-round matchup with the Phoenix Suns. So what can a guy do in his downtime? Evidently, spark the fires to what will for sure be a heated debate. On the latest episode of Podcast P With Paul George, the Clippers star discussed the athleticism of NFL players. When on the discussion, the topic came up of which sports players would see more success if they crossed over. Would NBA stars be better in the NFL or vice versa?

According to George, the answer is obvious. “I don’t think an [NFL] player could cross over to the NBA… That athleticism, that strength—that means nothing if you can’t shoot the ball in our league… I think we have a better chance.” George’s podcast is produced by the same company as the Kelce brothers hit show New Heights. George didn’t lack any confidence in his statement. At the end of the clip seen below, George believes he could’ve played receiver.

Paul George Believes NBA Athletes Are More Likely To Be Crossover Sports Stars

George claims that if football stars don’t have a jumper, they wouldn’t survive in the NBA. While true, it seems far-fetched that either league could see a lot of success when crossing over. However, former basketball players have seen success in the NFL. Former Chargers tight end Antonio Gates had a Hall-of-Fame-worthy career. Gates played college basketball for Kent State before making the jump to football. But we have seen, in recent years, clips of football stars hitting the hardwood.

Whatever the case may be, it would be extremely difficult for any athlete to crossover. Each sport has its own definition of athleticism. That if not practiced all the time, you wouldn’t have a successful time. But it seems Paul George has opened the floodgates on a debate that will be tossed around by many athletes. So, which sport do you think would do better in a crossover? Why do you feel the sport you chose would do better in that scenario? Drop your answers in our comment section.

Paul George Confident In Clippers Ability Against Lakers

by

Paul George is expected to miss the Los Angeles Clippers first-round playoff matchup. Unfortunately, the Clippers are in desperate need of George’s presence as they will meet the Phoenix Suns. Los Angeles has a good chance of not seeing either team from the city advance past the first round. However, it feels that a Clippers-Lakers rivalry is finally a thing in the city of Angels. On a recent episode of Podcast P with Paul George, George talked about the Clippers recent success over the Lakers.

“We got their number. Just match up well against the Lakers. We got bodies to guard Bron, we got playmakers, we got scorers, we got defenders.” The opinion is spot on when taking a closer look at the recent history between the teams. The Lakers haven’t beaten the Clippers since the bubble. Since then, it feels that the franchise has been trending in the opposite direction. The Clippers are seemingly a matchup nightmare for the Lakers.

Paul George Isn’t Worried About The Lakers

George’s comments may create a war of words between the fan bases. However, what he said isn’t a lie. The Clippers have built a roster that can defend LeBron James. Clippers star Kawhi Leonard has been one of James’ most notable rivals. As the two battled it out during the Heat-Spurs Finals matchups. Now it seems like there could be a potential change of the guard in Los Angeles. Obviously, the Lakers will always be the greatest franchise in Los Angeles. But the Clippers can say they have owned the Lakers in recent memory. Although the Lakers have the most recent championship.

Paul George’s absence from the Clippers has definitely built an uneasiness for the team heading into the playoffs. The Clippers will have to beat the hottest team in the NBA, the Phoenix Suns. With George’s absence, the Clippers will need to build a game plan to stop the best scorer in the league, Kevin Durant. Do the Clippers stand a chance of beating the Phoenix Suns?

Paul George To Miss Start Of NBA Playoffs

by

Paul George hasn’t received the news he would like before the start of the NBA Playoffs. The Los Angeles Clippers star is trending toward missing the opening round. A huge loss for a team that can make an impact this postseason. According to NBA insider Shams Charania, the team is preparing for the Phoenix Suns with the thought of not having George. “[The Clippers] are gonna have to get out of this series without [Paul George] if they want a chance potentially to get him back,” Charania stated.

The loss of George will be a massive impact on the Clippers. The team’s first-round matchup will be against the Suns. A team that got massively better after the arrival of Kevin Durant. George’s injury means the Clippers will need to adjust how they defend Durant. The Clippers have the talent available to win the series. However, losing someone like George will make the journey a lot more difficult. The first game of this series is set to tip off on April 16th.

Paul George To Miss Phoenix Series

The Clippers will begin the series in Phoenix. Since the Suns are the higher seed. However, Phoenix’s place in the standings doesn’t mirror how great the team has been recently. With the addition of Durant, the Suns have been unbeatable. But in the regular season finale on Sunday, the Clippers took down the Suns 119-114. The series will feature many storylines. Including a matchup between Russell Westbrook and Durant. The two were long-time teammates in Oklahoma City. Before Durant’s departure turned them into enemies on the hardwood.

The first-round matchup between the Clippers and Suns will be a can’t miss. Clippers star Kawhi Leonard seems to always be at his best in the postseason. But if the Clippers fans want to see Paul George again, they’ll have to beat the Suns. There’s nothing like the NBA Playoffs. The time for talk is over, and the best team will show their talent on the court. Who do you believe will win this battle of stars in the first round?

Paul George Injury Timeline Revealed, Twitter Reacts

by

Paul George is a player who means a whole lot to the Los Angeles Clippers. Overall, he has held the team down while Kawhi Leonard has been dealing with his own knee problems. However, now it will be Leonard’s turn to hold the team down as George went down with a leg injury on Tuesday night. This injury came in a game against the Oklahoma City Thunder in which the Clippers lost by one. It seemed like a very bad injury at the time, and some thought that the star would be out for the rest of the season.

Although, it now seems like the Clippers are getting hit with just a bit of luck. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, George is going to be re-evaluated in about two to three weeks. The diagnosis is a sprained right knee, which is much better than an ACL or MCL tear, which is what some fans thought they saw. Had George been told he was gone for the year, the team’s title chances would have immediately taken a hit.

Paul George Sprains His Knee

Fans are currently breathing a sigh of relief over this news. If you were to check the quote tweets on Wojnarowski’s report, you would see the jubilation that many are feeling right now. “I’m glad it isn’t much worse, hope my glorious king gets better soon,” one person wrote. “Wow incredibly lucky after seeing that injury,” said another. Brian Sutterer, a doctor who comments on sports injuries also commented on the matter. “MASSIVE relief,” he wrote. “Sprain suggests a ligament injury, and this timeline is probably too quick for an ACL sprain. PCL sprain would fit with that timeline and mechanism, but we may get some more information.”

Overall, the Clippers have definitely escaped a worst-case scenario here. All of this could have been a lot worse. However, George will now get to rejoin his teammates in time for the postseason. The Clippers are currently fifth in the Western Conference, but with how tight the standings are, you never know what may happen. Stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Clippers Reportedly Didn’t Want Russell Westbrook At First

by

Russell Westbrook had a very difficult time with the Los Angeles Lakers. Overall, his skill set did not fit what that team needed. Although he eventually became a bench player for the team, he still wasn’t playing how they were hoping him to. He was a turnover machine and had some of the worst shooting numbers in the league. Moreover, he was not the triple-double machine he used to be. Having said that, it should come as absolutely no surprise that he was traded at the deadline.

Russ was sent to the Utah Jazz, who made it clear that they wanted to buy out his deal. That is exactly what they did, making Russ a free agent. From there, Westbrook spoke to numerous teams, including the Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, and even the Miami Heat. However, he ultimately chose the Los Angeles Clippers. Now, he will get to play with his former Thunder teammate Paul George, as well as Kawhi Leonard.

According to Brian Windhorst via RealGM, the Los Angeles Clippers actually needed to be convinced in order to sign Russ. They had no interest in doing it until Paul George stepped in. From there, the rest was history as Westbrook looks to make his Clippers debut soon. “The Clippers are pretty much admitting Paul George drove this decision,” Windhorst said. “And from what I understand, they were internally against it at the start. Paul pushed for it publicly and privately. Kawhi {Leonard} supported it. And they looked more into it, and they were like ‘Well, you know, there are some things he can potentially help us with.’”

Needless to say, Westbrook got a very lucky break here. Overall, this could prove to be a great fit for him. However, if this goes bad, then his future is going to be up in the air. Hopefully, he can change the narratives that are now being cast on him. Let us know how you think Westbrook will fit in, down in the comments below.

Paul George Speaks Out On Russell Westbrook Signing

by

Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are a duo that hasn’t played a whole lot of basketball together. Leonard has dealt with a ton of injuries over the years, while George has had to carry the roster. Overall, when healthy, these two have the potential to run the NBA. However, they certainly need just a bit of help as the Western Conference has gotten a whole lot better over the last few months. In fact, their biggest issue has been at the point guard position where they have gone through numerous players.

Over the past few weeks, there have been rumblings that George would be getting a new teammate. The teammate in question was none other than Russell Westbrook. Russ was in the midst of trade rumors, so it made sense. Moreover, George and Russ have played together, and PG has always shown love to the former Thunder superstar. Well, the Lakers traded Russ which subsequently led to the Jazz buying him out. Yesterday, Russ revealed to the world that he intended to sign with the Clippers. Now, the reunion is complete.

Paul George Reacts

Following this big news, there were plenty of graphics made that depicted Russ in a Clippers jersey. As it turns out, this excited George greatly as he shared one of these images on his Instagram story. In the image above, you can see that George wrote “Let’s Go!!!” Consequently, it is now clear that Paul George is absolutely excited to have this new teammate on board. There is no telling how Russ will do in a Clippers jersey, although he promises to be better than his stint with the Lakers. As we all know, Lakers Russ was one of the more disappointing players we have ever seen.

Russ will get to face off against his former team, the Lakers, on April 5th. This will be near the end of the regular season, and it should make for some compelling basketball. Hopefully, Westbrook can get back on track and change the narratives surrounding him. Let us know what you think of the Westbrook signing, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the basketball world.
