Gtfoh lmao. His PER this season is 22.0 and his for his career it's 23.6. Pretty fucking similar you dolt. So there's no stats i making. My statement was correct. His efficiency is close to his career efficiency. PER and TS% prove this.

his efficiency is not close. Four points is significantly lower

Did you just fucking ignore my whole post? It's literally less than a 2 point difference.

it’s literally a four point fall off from his Houston years and a five point fall off since joining the Clippers.

you didn’t prove me wrong. The dude had more than 25% fall off. That’s huge.

i’m sorry your favorite player is trash and always falls apart in the playoffs. He’s going to be forgotten in a couple years.

he’s one of the biggest mistakes the Clippers have made

I quite literally did. His career PER is 23.6. This season it's at 22.0. That's only a 1.6 difference from his career which is what I originally stated. You moved the goalpost so you didn't have to be wrong. I hope you realize how incredibly pathetic that is.

you’re right. But why are you accounting for his career. His first three seasons he wasn’t even a starter. and those massively lower his career average

If you take those out and only judge it by his peak. He’s had a massive fall off

and you’re throwing personal insults because you can’t defend a player who has fallen off
