Ranking Paul George’s best playoff games as a Clipper

The playoffs this season has us feeling a bit nostalgic. With Kawhi Leonard missing the entire year as he rehabbed a torn ACL and with Paul George missing 51 games due to a litany of his own injuries, the LA Clippers failed to make the big dance this season.

As Clipper nation continues to reluctantly flick on their television sets and tune in, a broadening smile should be spread across their faces.

Once the 2022-23 season officially kicks off, the entire Clippers roster should be ready to go from a health standpoint. On paper, teams will have a hard time matching up with them. In addition to both Paul and Leonard, LA will have the offensive prowess of Reggie Jackson, Norman Powell, Luke Kennard, and Ivica Zubac at their disposal. Meaning, making the postseason next year is a virtual lock.

Ultimately, the Clippers playoff success will fall squarely onto the shoulders of Kawhi Leonard but that doesn’t mean he’ll have to deal with it alone.

Outside of Leonard, George will play a big time role in the Clippers win column next season. When performing underneath the postseason lights, George, more times than not, has excelled. But what were his standout playoff performances while wearing a Clipper uniform? Although he’s only been in LA for three seasons and made two playoff runs, George has a ton of grade A performances to choose from. Let’s dive right into it.
