With key players like Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Kyle Lowry, and Eric Gordon out due to injuries, fans were expecting Sixers&rsquo; big offseason signing to lead the charge. However, George had a woeful outing, managing just 2 points on 1-for-7 shooting in 36 minutes of play as Sixers suffered their fifth straight defeat. He finished the forgettable night with 2 points, 6 rebounds, four assists.<\/p><p>After the game, George explained his struggles, saying,<em>&ldquo;They just blitzed me anytime I had the ball. Whether it was pick-and-roll, whether I had it up top, I tried to just counter that with playing through my teammates. We got good shots for the most part. It just wasn&rsquo;t enough shots made.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><p>Fans, however, were not sympathetic and took to social media, mocking George for his performance. They criticized him for failing to step up when the team needed him the most, calling him a &ldquo;GOAT excuse maker.&rdquo;<\/p><p><strong>Also Read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/to-be-honest-im-bored-paul-george-comments-on-playing-center-for-sixers-amid-struggles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Paul George comments on playing center for Sixers amid struggles<\/a><\/p><p><strong>Check out some reactions:<\/strong><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Paul George the funniest human on earth.
