CP0 was Disappointed in the Clippers Culture

[LkrFan]

He basically called them losers:

920307398350376960

He left 5 years $210M on the table to get away from Clippers Nation

:lmao

[MultiTroll]

What a full-of-themselves phaggot convention.

Blaming the FO for his playoff choking? Please.

[Clipper Nation]

CP0 created the culture of choking and disappointment. By blaming the Clippers for his own shortcomings, he's just proving what everyone says about his refusal to take responsibility and accept blame. He always needs a scapegoat.

Have fun giving this fraud a $200+ million contract in his 30s, Houston... he just proved that he hasn't changed a bit.

[Killakobe81]

Cant believe it but I agree with CN ...to an extent.
How is culture worse with Doc, Balmer and now West than with Sterling, Del Negro etc?
Didnt he help shape the Clips culture? Especially the ref bitching and flops?!
Paul is a great player but overrated by many because his metrics are great.
I would rather have prime Kidd or even Gp tbh ...but im old school.
He is the best PG not to ring or to make a conference finals

[Clipper Nation]

Tbh, I'm surprised CP0 didn't choose the Spurs, because he and Poop have a lot in common. Always yelling at other players, micromanaging everything, take all the credit for their team's success, but can't take an iota of criticism themselves.

[whitemamba]

The culture problem is strictly Blake and DJs fault , alienating teammates , only hanging out during practice , they only like each other. They are like a high school team.. still.

In before CP0's slurpers start whining about how the Hornets' "culture" wasn't good enough either.

It's like the Angels signing Buttholes to a contract at 30. They're just fooling themselves.

[DMC]

They aren't stupid. It's all about fan outlook, not championships. Fans will buy tickets to see CP3 and Harden. They'll get prime time slots. They won't win a ring, but as long as they are in the NBA buzz, that's what they are looking for - that "valiant effort" facade Houston fans fall for.

Fortunately for Spurs fans, we know goddamn well we'll never get a prime time player before they are senile.

Pretty sure the Clippers and pelicans haven't been to the wcf ever. Also unfair to include 2000-2005 when Paul want even in the league, that adds the wolves, Kings, blazers, to the list

There are definitely questions about Pauls leadership / clutchness but this criticism seems misplaced, the hornets have been to the playoffs once without him? The Clippers have probably been to the playoffs about as many times with him as without, despite being around since the 70s. It's not like Paul missed the playoffs with the Lakers...

Thank you.


CP3's career already has been tinged in an oddly negative light by critics and casual fans because of his relative lack of playoff success, it shouldn't be though. Not all players should be based on the stark dichotomy of champion and loser, confusing team success with a players aptitude.



To suggest CP3 is the root of the problem is asinine and you can bet your bottom dollar the Clippers will struggle this season and may even miss the playoffs, and no Teodosic will not replicate CP3's value LOL. I like the guy, he's fancy but he's not in NBA shape, slower and is not familiar with the concept of defense.



The Clippers problems rest with Doc. He doesn't know how to use the cap, draft picks are given away like candy and when he or his staff drafts a player, their acquisitions are awful. Paul has saved the Clippers from drifting into obscurity that helped the franchise regain relevancy. I'm forever grateful for that.

Just because the Hornets and Clippers don't have the greatest franchise histories doesn't change the fact that they had windows of relevance and underachieved - in large part due to CP0's choke artistry in the playoffs.

Keith Closs and Benoit Benjamin weren't walking through that door during all those playoff series CP0 choked away.

I'll take Kidd, sure but Payton would be ineffective in this era.

:lol What? The narrative of CP0's career has always been that you can't possibly blame him for his latest playoff failure because it's everyone else's fault.

In all my years of following this sport, I've only seen one other player make casual fans get so sensitive whenever they're even remotely criticized, and that's Michael Jordan. CP0 is no Jordan.

All these attempts to make it sound like CP0 has been treated unfairly are cringeworthy. He's been given the kid-glove treatment compared to most superstars, and he's done nothing to earn it.

I hate Doc, and I've long said that he should have been fired after the Houston series. But I'm really sick of people using Doc as an excuse for CP0 while glossing over the fact that CP0 made us hire him or he wouldn't re-sign. He's even started not-so-subtly blaming Doc, knowing full well that Media will never bring up that inconvenient fact.

clippers are 7/40 in the playoffs without cp3, 6/6 with him; new orleans 3/6 with, 3/9 without. if you give him a pass for age 20, 21, he was 3/4 with them - 3/11 without.
i stand by my point, theres plenty to criticize him for and even have him out of your top 5 pg in his generation, but its another to act like he was below average the way that meme implied.

[Killakobe81]

I'll take Kidd, sure but Payton would be ineffective in this era.

his lack of 3s would hurt no doubt but the defense and transition would flourish in anyveta even minus handchecking his feet and anticipation were otherwordly and i modeled my defense off the Glove. Sure Paul is greater but GP was my dude.

Fuck off. Fuck Blake. And fuck your Blake dick slurping ass.

The stats improve in the playoffs across the board. When Blake hasn't been injured for the playoffs or for seasons at a time, his playoff stats get worse. Take that for data. Who's the choker? Go back to licking Griffin's butthole.

CP3 is full of shit because of he cared about the culture he wouldn't have went to fucking Houston :lol

To quote Jonathan Tjarks' brilliant rebuttal to the "muh stats" argument:


Paul is rarely lumped in the same category as guys like Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard, whose postseason failures have practically defined their careers. Even though both have advanced further than him in the postseason, including knocking out Paul in the process — with Carmelo beating him in 2009 and Howard doing the same in 2015 — they don't have advanced statistical résumés that make them immune from criticism. While Paul's efficiency numbers suggest he's one of the best players of all time, he's not held to that standard when it comes to judging his career. The great irony is that he's the prototypical pass-first point guard, yet his stats have bolstered his own résumé more than his team's.

By the way, last time Blake was fully healthy in the playoffs, he was our best player. He averaged 25.5 PPG, 12.7 RPG and 6.1 APG. The only other player to put up a statline like that in the postseason was Oscar in 1963, and he played in a faster-paced era that inflated everyone's stats. Blake also put up more triple-doubles in that postseason than CP0 has in his entire playoff career. One of those happened in Game 7 against the Spurs. Who's the choker, indeed.

Are you crazy? CP3 has done nothing to earn it? His individual profile and statistical portfolio is mind boggling :lol. He's the reason the Hornets and the Clippers were even relevant this past decade lol. As for why we ascribe wins and losses to an individual despite all of his contributions to the contrary is beyond me :lol

[Chris Fall]

Lmao Blake "fully healthy"

[Clipper Nation]

Key word: "individual." He's great at padding stats, not very good at leading teams to playoff success. This is a league where LeBron, with three rings and an active streak of seven straight Finals appearances, is nitpicked to shreds and still viewed as a "choker." Melo and Dwight, who have both led teams further in the playoffs than CP0 ever has, are seen as career losers. But a so-called superstar can't even win one second-round playoff series in his career, and he's "earned" never being criticized by Media and casual fans? What a joke.
