"PG is 2-32 all-time on game-tying or go-ahead shots the last 15 seconds"

Paul George got on his teammate, C.J. Miles, after he did not give the ball back to the Pacers’ All-Star on the final possession of Indiana’s Game 1 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Given his history with last-minute shots, the outcome may not have been any different.
George came up empty on a potential game-tying three late in the Pacers’ series-ending 106-102 Game 4 loss to the Cavaliers on Sunday. With that miss, the All-Star forward fell to just 2-of-32 all-time on potential game-tying or go-ahead shots in the final 15 seconds in both the regular season and the playoffs, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
George’s latest miss came with Indiana’s playoff livelihood at stake. Down three after a wonky possession, the All-Star forward got a clean look at the rim. He got all glass.
The Pacers are fishing now after Cleveland swept them on Sunday. It marked LeBron James’ 21st consecutive win in the first-round of the playoffs. James dealt with late-game woes earlier on in his career, as well.

he shot the ball poorly in the last game of the season, missed a game winning shot, and called out other teammates in the prior games publicly via post-game press conferences, twice if I'm not mistaken.
He's truly not worthy of getting fried?

dude's led the underachievement in indy last year (yes i said they underachieved at the time) and i knew this OKC shit was gonna be a dud, too. he plateaued. next time that signs him to a huge ass max deal expecting him to lead them will be sorry. all these things were true of melo and he was never as well-rounded of a player. so what is the point of all this bitter-ass cysage? here's a guy who was super promising, took a turn for the worse (but is still decent) and it made zero difference vis-a-vis your boy.
And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
