They peaked and over achieved last year. Paul George surprised everyone by breaking into the leagues elite class last year. Maybe he's not that, maybe it was just an amazing year for him and the team.
You can have all the talent in the world,if there's not that element of being a team,yer toast,a real team of average players can handle a team of individuals nine out of ten times!!!
Who's at fault on this team are the five starters who can't consistently score and hyped themselves when the season started... I doubt they're doing a team interview this time!!!
