Paul George: We've Just Got More Creators Now

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Wed Nov 21, 2018 4:52 pm

The Oklahoma City Thunder want to rely less on Russell Westbrook to generate offense with Paul George and Dennis Schroder able to create.

"Russ is the guy that wants us to be out there making plays," George said. "Russ is not a stat guy. He wants us to be out there making plays, he wants the game to open up for everybody and you're seeing that. You're seeing that with myself, you're seeing that with Schroder making plays."

The Thunder are playing more systematically this season as opposed to letting Westbrook be the system.

"We've just got more creators," George said. "It takes pressure off all of us when you've got guys that can make plays at different positions. Then when I have two point guards out there that can make plays, the game is so much easier for me."

George likes to hear himself talk.

"Russ is not a stat guy."

A bunch of Iso Ball. Multiple ball dominant players who take turns to bleed the clock to shoot athletic contested jumpers. They desperately need knockdown 3pt shooters.

Sounds like a little Melo shade...

They need a JR Smith type player.

Some will say they have more creators, others will point out that the ball no longer stops when it hits Melo's hands. That's the biggest change from last season.

Why y'all dissing on PG13 when he's said nothing but good things about his team and his teammates, AND when they're having a VERY successful season so far? A lot of y'all are probably salty Lakers or Warriors fans. Smh...

Correct PG13 we also see it now, just remember and don't forget to tell your team mates that never ever underestimate any team, never ever let loose of a quarter and don't loose trust on your team mates.
