Paul George is hopeful to sign a maximum contract when he signs his new deal.

"I would hope," he said. "Max guys get the job done at this time (the playoffs)." George makes $3.3 million and could sign a max extension during the offseason, but George admitted that he hasn't "really put my mind to that right now." George will be playing for the Pacers for a long time.

Paul George - G/F - Pacers

Paul George hit just 2-of-9 shots in Monday's Game 7 loss to the Heat, finishing with seven points, seven rebounds and four assists before fouling out early in the fourth quarter.

It really was a team-wide epidemic of flat, uninspired offensive play. George Hill had one assist to go with his 13 points on 4-of-14 shooting, and David West continued to struggle inside with 14 points on 6-of-15 shooting, six rebounds and six turnovers to go with his two blocks. The Pacers gave away a handful of chances to win this series, but fans can find solace knowing they'll be in the championship mix next season.

Paul George - G/F - Pacers

Paul George was hot from beyond the arc on Thursday, making 5-of-8 from long range as part of 11-of-19 from the field for 27 points with 11 boards, five assists, one steal and five turnovers in 44 minutes against the Heat.

The turnovers were killers for the Pacers with their 18 compared to Miami's 10 simply too much. George was hot from deep, but he didn't get a single free-throw attempt in the loss. He's been making a living from there in the past two series, with no less than three attempts in any of those 10 previous games. He has a nice arsenal for his offense and the 3-point prowess makes him a no-brainer pick in the first round of fantasy leagues next year.

Paul George vowed to do a better job guarding LeBron James after Miami's Game 3 win on Sunday evening.

"I have to do a better job battling him down there," George said. George will have his hands full in Game 4, where we're certain LeBron won't do anything to back down. Miami has a chance to take a commanding 3-1 series lead in the next one before going back to South Beach.

Paul George put on a show again in Friday's win over the Heat, scoring 22 points with two boards, six assists and one 3-pointer on 9-of-16 shooting.

He's having a terrific series and is on his way to becoming a household name. George isn't usually very effective on the road, shooting 39.1 percent compared to 44.6 percent in home games, so it should be interesting to see how well he plays on Sunday. He has a little bit of everything to his game and he'll likely be going off the board in the first six picks of fantasy drafts next year.

Paul George admitted to slipping up against LeBron James late in Game 1 which led to James' game-winning basket in overtime.

I slipped up, I just slipped up at the end," a sullen George said. "To have an opportunity to take the first game and be in the lead of the series ... and not being able to do it because of the last possession ... it hurts." George and the rest of the Pacers have plenty of motivation entering Game 2 vs. Miami.

Paul George - G/F - Pacers

Paul George was phenomenal during Game 1's loss to the Heat on Wednesday, scoring 27 points with four boards, five assists and three 3-pointers in 47 minutes.

He hit a ridiculous 32-foot jumper with one second left in regulation to send the game to overtime, then hit all three free throws with two second left in overtime. George has already solidified himself as a fantasy superstar, but tonight he made his case as one of the best players from a reality standpoint. He's one of the best rebounding wings, plays terrific defense, has a diverse offensive game and showed he can be clutch.

Paul George scored a team-high 23 points with six boards, six assists, one steal and two 3-pointers on 7-of-18 shooting in 43 minutes during Thursday's Game 5 loss.

His shot hasn't been falling at in this series, making just 36.1 percent of his shot attempts. George's saving grace in this series has been his terrific defense, but with the way the Pacers couldn't get anything going offensively, it wasn't enough. What's more, George has turned the ball over a whopping 5.0 times per game in this series, which was really another ugly point about the Pacers on Thursday. He and the Pacers will look to close out the Knicks at home on Saturday.

Paul George hit 6-of-19 shots and just 1-of-9 3-pointers, but still finished with 18 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two blocks in Tuesday's Game 3 win over the Knicks.

George outplayed Carmelo Anthony (again) and anytime that happens, the Knicks aren't likely to win. Game 5 is Thursday in New York, and Melo and J.R. Smith better figure things out before that one tips off. Meanwhile, George looks like a late first-round fantasy pick next year.

Paul George went 2-of-12 from downtown in the Pacers' Game 3 victory, and the team as a whole racked up 33 attempts from deep.

"I don’t really like taking 33 threes," Frank Vogel said after the game. "But the way this [Knicks] defense plays, that’s what they're giving us." Indiana ranked 22nd in the NBA in 3-point percentage this season, and they connected on just 11 of their attempts on Saturday, but the end result was a double-digit victory.

Paul George - G/F - Pacers

Paul George led the Pacers with 20 points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal and three 3-pointers on 8-of-16 shooting, along with seven turnovers, as the Pacers lost 105-79 in Tuesday's Game 2 in New York.

The series is even at 1-1 with Game 3 set for Saturday in Indy. David West (13) and George Hill (12) were the only other Pacers to hit double figures tonight. They entered the fourth quarter down just six points, but were outscored 33-13 in the final stanza and went more than nine minutes in the fourth quarter without scoring a point. They watched the Knicks go on a 36-4 run, and while this is not the outcome the Pacers were looking for, they've got to be happy to leave New York with homecourt advantage in the series.

Paul George filled the stat sheet in Game 5's loss to the Hawks with 21 points, 12 boards, two assists, four steals, one block and three 3-pointers in 41 minutes.

He shot 6-of-16 from the field and the Pacers usually go as George goes. In their regular-season losses, George shot just 35.7 percent from the field compared to 45.9 percent in wins. The Pacers will head back home for Game 5 on Wednesday.

Paul George is spending time watching film to study how to better defend Josh Smith.

George spent Sunday watching game tape with Brian Shaw. "Melo likes to post up, but he does it and usually squares you up before making his move to the basket," George said. "Smith is the first guy I’ve really guarded that does most his work on the block. I have to grow into guarding those types of players." It's nice to see George rising to the occasion.

Paul George backed up Sunday's Game 1 triple-double with 27 points, eight boards, three assists, four steals, a block and a 3-pointer on 11-of-21 shooting.

George received his Most Improved Player Award prior to the game and looked great again tonight. The Pacers will need him to play at a high level throughout the playoffs, as they will likely only get as far as he takes them. They off to a 2-0 start against the Hawks.
