Bill Simmons blasts ‘bored’ Paul George: ‘You’re trying to win games’

Things keep unraveling for the 76ers — and Bill Simmons knows where to put some of the blame.

Philadelphia entered the season with championship aspirations after signing Paul George to a mᴀssive four-year, $211 million contract this offseason but injuries, poor play and Wednesday’s OT loss to the Knicks have them outside the playoff picture at 15-24.

George, averaging his lowest points per game total (17.2) since 2014, said he was “bored” playing center to help fill the gap left by Joel Embiid’s latest injury woe.

“Playing on a five just don’t do enough for me, but I think being mindful of my ability to clog the middle and help and cut off pᴀssing lanes and driving lanes, kind of battle with the bigs is what [Sixers coach Nick Nurse] sees in that style,” he said after the team fell to the Pelicans last week. “But I enjoy chasing the little guys and matching up against a wing.”
