NBA News Update: Paul George met with resistance in the locker room post Nuggets loss

Los Angeles Clippers v Denver Nuggets - Game Six

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Paul George was preaching to his LA Clippers to remain committed to the team in the offseason after the loss to Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semi-finals. It was met by some eye rolls and bewilderment because George did not back up his words with action in the series.

Paul George had a poor outing in Game 7, as he could only score 10 points on 4 of 16 shooting and 2 of 11 from the three-point range.

According to The Athletic, Paul George was quoted as saying:

“We can only get better the longer we stay together and the more we’re around."

Paul George and the LA Clippers will face a bigger challenge next season, as the expectations of winning an NBA championship will still be there. The Clippers are expected to partner Paul George and Kawhi Leonard with a playmaker in the backcourt. The LA Clippers have a couple of key decisions to make this offseason, and one of them could be parting ways with the duo of Montrezl Harrell and JaMychal Green.
