The NBA Playoffs in the bubble are in full swing, but not every player is living up to their full potential.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George has been less than stellar thus far, and other members of the team have had to carry them in a tough series with the Dallas Mavericks.
In a post-game interview following the win of game three of the series, George was asked by Clippers beat writer Tomer Azarly about his performance and had this to say.
"Like I said, I’m no James Harden, that’s not my knack, to just shoot the ball and score the ball. I can, and I pride myself on being effective on both ends, but it’s gonna be nights like this where I can’t make shots and I can’t allow that to affect my game.”
As you can see, this is either a really poor choice of wording, or George was taking a shot at James Harden, and his "one-dimensional game."

Do you think George was taking a shot at Harden?
