VIDEO: Paul George's Thunder Career Officially Ends With Damian Lillard's Buzzer-Beater in His Face
By Parker White
Oklahoma City Thunder fans have to be depressed this morning, as Paul George was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers and are down to just one star in Russell Westbrook. And we know how that story ends. To make matters worse, the last memory of PG in OKC is Portland Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard dropping a buzzer-beater in George's face to eliminate the Thunder from the playoffs.

So, yeah, in a sense, Lillard ended George's career in Oklahoma City. George said that was a bad shot after the game, but does it really matter? Lillard took his chance playing with house money and cashed out.

It's especially a shame because George put up an MVP-caliber year in just his second season in Oklahoma City. Dame had no regard for that and this sadly could be the lasting memory of George after the Thunder's two poor playoff exits with him on the team.
