Perhaps the player whose reputation took a bigger hit this season was Paul
George, as he was far from his best since the restart of the campaign and his
never-ending struggles in the playoffs showed up in a big way when the Los
Angeles Clippers blew a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference Semifinals.
"也許這個賽季是PG的名聲最受打擊的一季，從複賽以來他的表現一直都很掙扎，
尤其是在西區半決賽時為甚"
Paul George became infamous around the league for calling himself ‘Playoff P
’ and then being a massive no-show more often than not. He struggled with
his shot, couldn’t stay on the court with foul trouble, and made some
avoidable mistakes down the stretch.
"PG拿不出Playoff-P相符稱號的表現，持續掙扎，不論是出手或是犯規麻煩或是接下
來一連串無可避免的錯誤"
However, ESPN’s Zach Lowe believes that people shouldn’t sleep on Paul
George and predicted that he’ll come back better than ever next season after
his reputation took that major blow:
"“I’m predicting a Paul George vengeance tour next season. The guy was a
top-five MVP finisher last season. He’s gonna come back strong next season,”
Lowe said."
"然而 ESPN記者 Zach Lowe要大家著麼快否定PG，PG上一季聯盟前五的finisher
，他相信下一季他會復仇且重振他的名譽"
George earned some detractors for his comments dissing the Portland Trail
Blazers and posts on social media claiming that he didn’t care what people
thought about him, as he couldn’t back up the talk in the hardwood and once
again underperformed when it mattered the most despite being fully healthy.
"PG曾在社群軟體上和拓荒者有些口水戰而飽受評論，但宣稱他不在意人們怎麼說"
Also, the Clippers gave up a lot of future assets to pair him with Kawhi
Leonard, so he was obviously asked to step up big time and that just didn’t
happen.
"而且，快艇隊為了他和可愛放棄了許多球隊的資產讓他們組隊，顯然的他被要
求加倍努力卻沒有達到預期效果"
Then again, Lowe’s got a valid point. We’re talking about one of the best
two-way players in the league and a guy that’s able to make a huge impact
every time he’s out there. Hopefully, he’s right and George will put on a
show next season.
"Lowe有著鮮明的觀點: 我們是在討論聯盟中攻守兼備最厲害的人之一，而且他能在場上
做出非常大的影響，希望Lowe是對的而且PG能在下一季找回身手"
短評: 我還是覺得 PG 有點不太靠譜
