76ers’ Paul George explains decision to put podcast on hold

Philadelphia 76ers’ Paul George had 25 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists in 42 minutes against the New York Knicks but his efforts went in vain as they suffered a 110-105 loss at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday.

George revealed that he has decided to put his podcast on the back burner and wants to focus all his energy on the team. The 76ers currently have a 20-38 record in the ongoing season and they have lost their nine matches on the bounce.

“It was more so just to focus on here,” said George. “I haven’t been the healthiest, so it’s just been putting a ton of work towards getting my body as healthy as possible, and to keep focus of obviously being here and trying to turn things around here and the full focus is trying to get this team together.

“But we got to give ourselves a chance. Take it one game at a time, but we got to give ourselves a chance to see what we can do down the stretch.”

The 76ers were trailing by 19 points at one stage but bounced back to take the lead but once again fell behind at the fag end. 

George admitted that the team is not playing at their best and they haven’t shown any positive signs to be a playoff contender.

He added, “We have shown no sign of a team that will compete. We just don’t have the habits a champion, or playoff contending team, would have.

“To be honest, right now it’s a little far-fetched.”

“It was something that was kind of racking in my head a little bit just because of [being] new to the city, being acclimated to Philadelphia,” George said on his podcast. “It just came to the point where it was like, ‘All right, this is the time to kind of take a step back for a second.'”

Philadelphia 76ers will next take on the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
