We’re watching another edition of the long-time Paul George-Joe Ingles beef in the Utah Jazz-Los Angeles Clippers second-round series. These two teams are fighting for the chance to make it to the Western Conference Finals, and things have gotten pretty intense in the first three games.
The Clippers won Game 3 on Saturday night, cutting the distance with the Jazz, who won the first two matches. Paul George and Joe Ingles have gone at it, with the Australian player even mocking him.
The situation is so big that PG prefers not to hear about Ingles. Following the Clippers’ 132-106 win over the Jazz on Saturday night, the veteran swingman stated that he doesn’t care about Ingles, refusing to answer a question regarding the Jazz player.
“I don’t care about him, next question,” PG told reporters.

Well, he has the same energy as Ingles. Earlier this week, the Aussie player said that his beef with George wasn’t on his mind, as he was focused on other things.
“The whole narrative of Joe vs. Paul George is a little bit old in my mind. It’s the Jazz vs. Clippers, it was OKC vs. Jazz … I don’t read into the 1-on-1 stuff. 3 years ago is a long time. My twins were barely talking & now they’re 5 and annoy the hell out of me.”

Even after trying to convince people otherwise, things get intense whenever they go at it on the court. This series has taken another turn after the Clippers defended their home and beat the Jazz.
They have history since the days PG was with Oklahoma City. Even if they insist on denying the claims, there’s always something going on between them whenever they clash on the floor.
