He makes the game easy with just his presence, his attention that he draws. But it’s been a challenge.”
So is it easy is or is it hard LOL
In all seriousness, his monthly splits have improved a lot (setting aside February since it's only the 12th):
NOV- 14.4/5.7/4.8 on .378/.286/.800
DEC- 16.3/5.5/4.7 on .426/.338/.774
JAN- 20.5/5.8/4.6 on .470/.447/.944
(Pts/Reb/Ass) - FG/3P/FT
If he could maintain his January numbers for the rest of the year, that's about what I would have expected this year from him in a generally positive (if not dominant) contribution. It's years 2,3, and 4 that I was worried about, especially years 3 and 4.
His FTA are declining due to age, the more that happens the less impactful he is and the more he is becoming Tobias George.
It's clearly easy-hard, duh!
PG acting like he's just there to hang out is terrible, must be frustrating for Philly fans.
There's no way there was this large of an ability level decline from 33 to 34.
Good it's not the Clippers problem.

Clippers really got lucky
While I think he would be playing better as a Clipper, this still holds true.
Instead of going and proving the Clips management wrong about their assessment that you didn't want to take on the responsibility of a stae but wanted the pay, he just proves them even more right.
