If LeBron James goes off in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals tonight, Paul George will most likely tell teammate Lance Stephenson "I told you so" right after the contest. Following yesterday's practice, Stephenson spoke to the media and had a couple of things to say about LeBron. Regardless of whether or not those comments were correct, they obviously didn't sit well with George, who said the following:

“Lance is genuine,” Pacers forward Paul George said. “Sometimes he needs to keep things more in house and be a little more modest.”

Born Ready should probably listen to PG. After all, since Lance made those comments towards Dwyane Wade, the Heat guard is averaging 24.3 points per game on 62 percent shooting from the field. With the Pacers heading into a hugely important Game 4 contest, the last thing they need is a riled up and super motivated LeBron standing in their way. Make sure you tune in tonight!
