The LA Clippers were eliminated from the playoffs on Tuesday night after suffering another embarrassing comeback loss to the Nuggets.
After the game, Paul George told the media that neither he nor his team believed this season was “championship or bust” for them. George went on to say the Clippers needed more time together to develop better chemistry.

Clippers’ Paul George on title expectations after Game 7 loss to Nuggets: “The fact of the matter is we didn’t live up to that expectation.

George’s quote is interesting considering just a few months ago he was asked a similar question by Kevin Hart on the “Cold as Balls” podcast and this was his answer.

Paul George stays lying out here. At least he’s consistent at that. https://t.co/23SbwO6IoS
