Paul George resurgence

It's great to see George play at his pre-injury pace again. It gives the team a chance to win every game.

He's scored at least 26pts in 7 straight game, a personal record I believe I heard last night.

He's also shooting 51% from three in those 7. Was shooting just 20% in first three games. Pacers lost all three.

In the month of November his numbers are just ridiculous. 27ppg, 9rpg and the advanced stats are crazy too.

Is just amazing what he's been able to do. I really hope more solid NBA player want to come play with him an bring a title home. KD? Lol wishful thinking!

I think he's better than he was prior to the injury! Love the guy I hope he's a Pacer for life.

His resurgence has been amazing, but it raises an interesting question. Is it sustainable? His shot distribution this season has been markedly different from his career average. He's been shooting the long 2 way more than his career average, but he also has been making that shot much more often than his career average. If you just look at those numbers, you might say his scoring improvement is unsustainable. However, maybe all those long 2s are falling because he is playing power forward 60% of the time and those guys are not used to defending that shot. If that's the case, his long 2 attempts are barely more than pregame or practice shots.
