Clippers So I guess CP3 wasn't that cancerous after all, huh? [Archive]

Team before CP3=lottery bound
Team with CP3=perennial top 3/4 team in the West
Team after CP3=5-7 so far

BTW, Blake needs to step the fuck up. There's no excuse for him missing the playoffs alongside Jordan, Beverly, Teodosic, Gallinari and Lou Williams. I still expect them to make the playoffs once the Point God returns, but Griffin shouldn't allow the Clippers to be sucking so much with everyone healthy sans a rookie PG, tbh.

And I know what ClipperNation is going to say, tbh: "the Rivers family blah, blah, blah". That shit didn't stop CPclipperGOAT from dragging them to the playoffs every year, tbh.

Gallinari and Beverly have also been out of the lineup tbh. Beverly hasn't played since the Spurs game and Gallinari's been out even before that. When they get everyone fully healthy they're a Top 4/5 team in the West imo.

They were in in the games previous to the Spurs and they were losing too, tbh.

Clippers guards suck:

Teodosic is old, slow, injury prone and a rookie.

Lou Williams is a chucker.

Beverley is a 3D player.

Austin Rivers

They finally got a small forward but unfortunately he is soft and injury prone. So is Griffin.

I don't know man, I think they should tank and trade players for picks (Jordan to Cavs for Brooklyn pick). Loaded draft incoming.

Clippers never really beat anyone anyway. 3 of their 5 wins this season are against some of the worst teams in the league. Phoenix, Dallas, Lakers? Yeaaaaa... great wins. And in a couple of those wins, Lou fucking Williams and Doc junior had to show out just so the team could win. Blake put up good numbers against bad teams and teams with no PFs. Look at his last couple games, a couple against legitimate PFs in Davis and LMA. He's shooting 18-for-59 from the field his last three games. That's worse than Lonzo Ball's season FG%.

Fuck dat hoe ass Blake. Still bitchmade.

I don't think anyone thinks Griffin is a top-tier superstar capable of carrying a team to title contention. He's a second-tier star - very nice player, maybe one of the best Clippers of all time (for what that's worth :lol), but should not be expected to drag a team to the Finals.

Austin played 32 minutes tonight. Took the second-most shots on the team after Blake. Final results: 1-9, 2 points, -21. The nepotism couldn't be any more blatant.

There was a play towards the end of the first half where that scrub was waving and yelling for the ball at the three-point line while Blake ignored him and drove for an easy dunk. That pretty much sums it up.

At least LAC got some decent pieces to use in his place. The main issue with this team has always been the Rivers duo outside when they play the Spurs.

You're claiming he isn't cancerous, yet all we have to go on is his lack-of-presence on an injury-plagued Clipper team with Doc actively sabotaging everything.

Of course the Hornets were a lottery team after he left, they had nothing besides him. As for the Clippers, it's still early and if they jettison Doc sooner rather than later/get healthy they can make the playoffs. The Hornets/Clippers were also not consistent top 2/3 teams in the West with him. Hell, they only got that high twice, and :lol at singlehandedly doing so.

CP3 is arguably the best PG of our generation but you can't just pretend like it isn't a completely different dynamic playing on a better team now and being the #2 option to the probable MVP winner. The Rox would've been really good again without him, but with him, they're a Top 3 team in the league and legit Title contender.

Yes, arguably the greatest regular season PG of our generation. But Paul is a playoff choker. Harden is a playoff choker.

Paul becomes a PG with some ridiculous nervous bone headed plays. He's the NBAs Tony Romo.

I heard a reporter (can't remember his name) who covered CP3 in LA make a comment earlier this week that he called Paul last week and he sounded happy on the phone. The reporter said it was a shock as every other time he'd spoken to Paul, he sounded determined or focused, but never happy.

I think that this season has been a revelation for Paul. He's so driven that he's always blamed himself for not getting his teams to the promised land. But there are very few players who are so talented that they can carry a team all by themselves without another superstar.

For the first time, Paul has a team around him that truly complements his skillset and he has Harden, who is that "Other Superstar". The burden of having to do it all himself has been lifted and he's finally able to enjoy playing the game again, like when he first entered the league with the Hornets (when he was the most feared player in the league for defensive coordinators).

I can't wait for the playoffs so that Harden & CP3 will have the opportunity to get that monkey off their backs. I think they are going to be fantastic now that they have real help and that they are both pretty much giddy with that realization.

To play devil's advocate, Dirk was always labeled as a player that could never win the big one until he went god mode in '11

Chris Fall

12-20-2017, 09:47 AM

The choke label is exaggerated. CP3 has had bad individual performances and bad individual moments in the playoffs, just like any other player. He's also had great games and great moments in the playoffs and both won and lost, in series clinching and elimination games. In fact, he's had more good games than bad games in those series clinching or elimination games, but his team hasn't always won.

He did choke last year. But you really have to go back to his days in New Orleans to find a really bad performance in a series clinching or elimination game before last year. He usually shows up. His team doesn't always win.

Duncan would never be labeled a choker because he has rings to back his resume up. But he's had his bad playoff moments as well. A 10-for-27 performance in a game 7 but his team won so it's forgotten. The failed tip attempt to lose the title but the team came back the following year to erase the pain. The first round loss to Memphis as a 1 seed. Those don't stain his career because of the rings.

CP3 has usually showed up in the playoffs. He's also choked before. He's also showed up big but his team still lost. So it is what it is and people will label it however they feel, justifiably or not.

For him to change that perception, he has to do a Dirk and at least win it one time. That will at least partially shed the label, even though riding Harden's coat tails will be the resulting label.

The terms choker is being thrown around way too liberally. Most of the players does not perform up to expectations because the team wasn't designed in a way to play in the playoffs (Garnett Wolves, Robinson Spurs, Hakeem Rockets before the title runs, Dirk Mavs before the title runs, Nash Suns). Chokers are those that fail to deliver every single time despite having the team construct to do so, and the only player that would fit that mode is Karl Malone. I can't really think of another legit choker in NBA history.

Curry should be there, he plays poorly compared to his normal output, but those two title teams were just too talented that it just eclipsed his chokiness.

UZER

Stats aren't everything. You can have a super clutch guy that averages 8 points a game but constantly hits big time shots late. You can have a dude that averages 30, but can't get the buckets you absolutely need down the stretch.

Stats don't always define if a player is clutch.

We all know you hate CP3 but you skew the truth so much. That one Spurs performance is the only time he showed up in an important playoff game? You're a Clippers fan. You really can suggest that honestly? Game 7 against Memphis back in 2012 where none of the other starters even scored in double digits and he not only led the team offensively but also held Mike Conley in check. In a game 7. Another game 7 against Splash brothers in 2014 where he put up 22 and 14 in a five point win. Game 7. How about the round after that in a game 6 loss to OKC where CP3 scored 14 of the team's last 20 points of the game shooting 6-7 and assisted on two of the other buckets, but the team fell short. Blame him for that too? I'm sure you do.

As for what happened the next round after that Spurs game, how about the ENTIRE team choked a 3-1 series lead against the Rockets? Calling that a choke job by Paul is just as stupid as blaming Blake Griffin. Those two were the only two who showed up offensively in those final couple of losses. JJ Redick couldn't hit shit and Jamal Crawford doing his best John Starks impression. Yeah, the Clippers team choked that playoff series. But how could anyone blame CP3? And remind me who was guarding Josh Smith and Corey Brewer to make them look like Tracy Mcgrady and Vince Carter in their primes?

CP3 choke last year. Everyone calling him a career playoff choker don't even really remember the rest of his playoff games. They just look that his team can't advance far in the post season and simply say that's him choking even though he's one who in fact usually shows up, win or lose.

Didn't CP0 choke Game 5 of that 2014 series against OKC? He also had like 4 TOs in that fourth quarter meltdown in 2015 as well and was MIA against Memphasis in their 2013 first round loss to Memphis.

Yes on the game 5 against OKC. Not an elimination game. He showed up the next game, an elimination game, but the team still lost.

Meltdown is strong when your team is already down 20 in the fourth quarter on the road in game 7 before those turnovers and forced shots, after you're one of the guys that did the heavy lifting not only to try to keep the game within reaching distance but thought the entire series.

And no on the 2013 Memphis series. He was actually the only one to care to show up.

He was injured but still posted 15 and 7 on 49% shooting, 40% 3 pt shooting and 90% FT shooting.

On the last three games that the Clippers lost he averaged 26.3 ppg, 10.3 apg and 4.6 rpg on 51% shooting.

ambchang

12-21-2017, 03:48 PM

Issue with CP3 isn't that he is a choker, the problem is that he pounds the air out of the ball every time, and is a control freak on offense, like a Barkley of PGs. The offense, over the course of a 7 game series, becomes more predictable, and good defenses learn to adapt and shut it down, or at least get enough stops. This gets magnified in the last few minutes of any game, when CP3 is just gassed from expending so much energy the entire game.

With Harden alongside him, it gives the offense variety, and will be very difficult to stop, because you can force any one of them to give up the ball, but it would be almost impossible to do it for both of them. Both of them can create for themselves, both of them can create for others, and both of them can finish from 3, drives, or mid range (if the Rockets actually decide to shoot midrange). I still have questions about their defense though, while the supporting players can D somewhat, oppositions can run the offense targeting those to to expose mismatches or tire them out.
