Paul George is the Sixers’ top target this offseason, per @WindhorstESPN.
The Clippers have been unwilling to offer George a max contract, which Philadelphia appears prepared to do.

James Harden on not feeling pressure, it how Clippers need to not be as disorganized offensively as they were in Game 5 and how Harden has seen all kinds of defenses and how he has to adjust to them.

Like Ivica Zubac, Paul George notes that the Clippers have “been here before, going into Dallas 3-2” en route to winning the series in 2021.
Of course, Kawhi went full Terminator in that Game 6: 18 for 25 (5 for 9 from 3) for 45 points and he doesn’t figure to available. – 1:08 AM

Sixers fans won’t want to hear this, but this was a placeholder season for Philly.
That was true when they traded James Harden and it cemented when they didn’t flip those picks at the deadline.
They have their second star in Maxey. They have endless flexibility. They’re fine. – 9:30 PM

I’m just trying to get my name up with those guys.” Kyrie Irving on his defense on James Harden in Game 5. (via @TomerAzarly )pic.twitter.com/DNudxHYRcQ -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / May 2, 2024
Without Leonard, the Clippers had their worst night offensively in the series. James Harden, who had been superb and averaged 30.5 points in the previous two Clippers wins without Leonard, shot just 2-for-12, including 1-for-7 from the 3-point line. He finished with 7 points, 7 assists and 4 turnovers. “Being human,” Lue said when asked what led to Harden’s tough night. “He’s allowed to have a bad game. We didn’t shoot the ball well. They tried to get up and pressure a little bit, which we didn’t handle like we had in the first four games. He played bad. It’s possible. He didn’t play well. “So I got to do a better job getting him in better situations and then being ready for Game 6, which I know he’ll be better.” -via ESPN / May 2, 2024
