Sources: George out for camp start after surgery

Thunder All-Stars Paul George and Russell Westbrook both underwent surgeries Tuesday, the team announced. While Westbrook's procedure will allow him to train this offseason, George is likely to miss at least the start of training camp, sources said.

Denver's resiliency is so admirable. They are one tough group. You can tell so much of that identity comes from Michael Malone and he's injected it into his team.

He had a great first quarter, but Lillard has not been since. Denver's defense has been awesome, and it looks like the frustration is building some for Lillard.

In Game 3 it was Rodney Hood with huge bench production and in Game 4, it's Seth Curry who is cooking. The Blazers have gotten just enough at just the right times from their second unit.

Jusuf Nurkic has come out to join the Blazers on the bench. The crowd is quite excited about it, and Nurkic pumped them up even a little bit more.

Jamal Murray deserves an immense amount of credit for this game. He is very much not 100 percent but has battled his tail off. A true growing up game for him.

Lillard has been hunting that deep 3 the last couple possessions and finally squeezed enough space to get it off -- and he drilled it. You can tell he's sensing a big momentum shift and is looking for some early dagger throwing.

Much like Game 2, the Nuggets did an excellent job in the first half of getting the ball out of Damian Lillard's hands. He hasn't had an offensive eruption since Game 1, and even getting off looks at all from 3 is a chore. At some point Lillard is doing to need to shake loose and take over for Portland.

The Blazers' two in-season pickups (Rodney Hood and Enes Kanter) and making themselves some money this postseason. Kanter is overcoming his reputation as a defensive liability, and Hood is stepping up as a scorer off Portland's bench after not being able to get off it last postseason with LeBron and the Cavs.

Billy Donovan on his future with the Thunder: "For me it's just kind of like business as usual." Donovan said he and Sam Presti had a discussion on the way back from Portland, but didn't want to disclose details of it. Donovan said he'll meet with Presti in the next few days to discuss future plans and continue to talk throughout the summer. Donovan has one year remaining on his contract.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr gave a thoughtful response when asked whether he thought Damian Lillard's series-winning 3-pointer vs. OKC was a good shot: "It's a good shot for Damian, a good shot for [Stephen Curry]. The game is being redefined, I think, as we play it. The stuff I'm seeing this last year -- I didn't think I'd ever see people playing on [the] other side of James Harden and asking him to go to the rim. I've never seen that. But the 3-point line and the range that players are showing with their 3-point shooting, it's changing the way defenses have to think. I saw that quote from Paul [George] and my first thought was, ‘You're right.' I mean, a step-back 38-footer has never been a good shot. It was for Damian and there are a handful of guys that you actually have to guard out there. "

Should George regret staying in OKC? (0:48)
