He was trying to get a last FT before leaving the floor
I didn't see Paul anywhere after the final horn, congratulating any of the Spurs.
Did anyone else?
It looked like Tony was looking for someone at the end, but then he looked in the crowd so maybe he was looking for Eva or somebody.
Walking off the court and not shaking your opponet's hand is pussy .
I maybe wrong but I didn't see him anywhere.

He just stood staring down the air.
Yeah if Paul didn't shake Tony's hand that's incredibly lame.
Shame too...because Chris Paul is an absolutely fantastic basketball player...hopefully he'll grow out of that.
More than likely he just hates losing that much...
He flopped his way out of the court.
Maturity will help the entire team
It's no secret Chris Paul has an at ude problem. He did walk off the court without showing sportsmanship. The Spurs are a dirty team but Parker has some class about himself. Check out the youtube video of Chris Paul punching an opposing player square in the nuts during his college days. The dude's a punk.
The Hornet have an incredible future. , even their present is incredible. Having said that, they've exhibited some really lame immature traits that they better lose, otherwise, they'll remain almost champs
Tony and Chris are pretty good friends. I think Tony would understand if Chris took the loss too hard to go shake hands.
It's easy to be gracious when your team always wins.
For a young player who is that compe ive, it's far more difficult. I think Tony knows Chris well enough to know not to take it personally. Tony Parker stays at Chris Paul's place during regular season games, for christ's sake.
Still, man up. Take your loss like one.

Dudes a punk! An incredible talent but, an immature punk!
"You've got to lose to know how to win."
Paul is a great player. He'll either mature into his game or he won't. Only time will tell. He has no problem with the ego to be a great player, he needs to learn how to be a gracious loser.
Why? What does it change?
Kid was pissed, hurt, distraught. Leave him be. He's a compe or.
The game's over. It changes nothing.
And, I guarantee you he'll still be cool with Tony Parker.
Who even cares? The Spurs are going to the WCF and all you think about is why Paul did not stay on the court.
LeBron did the samething yesterday let it be.
I believe he did walk off without congratulating anyone, but probably because he was about to cry. I'm sure Parker understands. And I'm sure Chris Paul thinks right now that this will be the most devastating loss ever. But there will be more losses (and wins) and he'll grow up.
He's extremely good. There's a lot of things I can't stand about him ... his forearm pushoffs, his dead ball flops and the way he loses his cool. But as soon as he matures, he's going to really dominate the league (as if he didn't already this season).
It changes nothing but it would of showed that he respects the Spurs and that will help him mature.
He can't go through his entire career being a y .
I don't care about his personal relationship with Tony. Thats not what this is about.
He isn't a great player, yet..... He still a punk kid with lots of talent.... Great player's win championships..
That's not true. Barkley, Webber, Ewing, Reggie Miller, Stockton and Malone were all great players who have a grand total of 0 rings.
he's a in every sense of the word. actually, make that a dirty .
Tell Paul to go talk to Steve Nash about losing to the Spurs. He can give Paul a few pointers. Nash has a lot of experience.
"All you think about"?Who even cares? The Spurs are going to the WCF and all you think about is why Paul did not stay on the court.There's like a million other threads tonight, assface.
Everybody hurts. Everybody cares. Doesn't matter. He should be a sportsman.Kid was pissed, hurt, distraught. Leave him be. He's a compe or.
OTOH, everyone's en led to one mistake, especially when young. Isiah Thomas was a 30 year old when he walked off the court against the Bulls. Now that was weak.
Unfortunately thats just not true
By his logic Antoine Walker and Jason Williams are great players since they have rings.
