@mcleighton90: "Too many times Paul George has driven the lane and then quickly kicked it out to teammate. Hes got to drive to the rim and draw contact."

@TEKNEEK215: "Another Sixers loss & a really mediocre debut for Paul George, all things considered.
This team, this entire organization top to bottom is such a gigantic disappointment."
