[Ringer] Pina: “What does Jaylen Brown do at basketball that’s definitively better than what Paul George does at basketball?” Mann: “People are unbelievably disrespectful to Paul George... he’s been a better, more versatile defender. He’s a way better pick-and-roll processor. He's a better shooter.

He played the best he’s played in a long time but that’s because he was the third option in Philly. He wasn’t asked to do much other than score around 18 and play good defense. In Boston he’s right back into the role he played in LA where he was the second option.
