The Los Angeles Clippers were officially eliminated from the NBA playoffs on Friday night by the Dallas Mavericks. All-Star forward Paul George struggled to find his shot, scoring 18 points on 2-of-10 shooting from beyond the arc.
Unfortunately for George, it didn’t take long for fans to troll him for his lackluster performance.
Immediately after the Clippers lost to the Mavericks, NBA fans reposted a video of George wearing a Where’s Waldo costume. This video was first shared by the Clippers on Halloween.
“Paul George with his season on the line,” one fan commented.
Another fan said, “Knew this would come in handy eventually.”
“I had this bookmarked for a reason,” a third fan wrote.
“Bookmarks went off like crazy, everyone knew they were getting cooked in the playoff,” a fourth fan added.

George has a player option for the 2024-25 season. If he declines it, he’ll be a free agent this summer.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Clippers want to re-sign George. However, they’ll have competition for his services.
ESPN’s Brian Windhorst has already said the Philadelphia 76ers will make a strong run at George if he hits the open market.
It’s safe to say George will receive a nice payday this offseason. We’re just not sure which team will sign him.
