Paul George Blasts Refs After Clippers vs. Nuggets Loss

LA Clippers star Paul George was not happy with the officials

The LA Clippers lost their 6th-straight game on Tuesday night, falling to the Denver Nuggets in a close one. Speaking with reporters after the game, Clippers star Paul George called out the officials, saying, "It was bad. Five free throws is very disrespectful on this night. So many times I got hit on layups, three-pointers, it was constant. Jumpshots, getting hit, smacked on the forearm. I mean, it was poor, a poor job. But again, we got to be able to beat these guys on their floor and not rely on that. Again, they calling something on one end, they got to call it on the other."

Per Andrew Greif of the LA Times, George also called the officials "awful" and suggested the Clippers were "playing against the extra three" in this one. While George was unhappy with the officiating, he also took accountability, saying the Clippers have to play better, but are encouraged with some of the progress they are seeing.

While George recognizes there are no moral victories with a record of 3-7, he also feels the Clippers have made some strides, which showed themselves in the hard-fought loss to Denver. The Clippers did hang tough with the Nuggets, but Denver was also without Jamal Murray, which makes that less impressive.

Now 0-5 with Harden, the Clippers remain winless since the trade.
