Blake turned the franchise around, not that choking got. He just hopped on the bandwagon and had one foot out the door to Atlanta or Houston when he couldn't get it done the first two years.
Nah, I was on here after the Finals. I also don't disappear after my team loses like some of the front-running gots on here.This comfortably comments and bashes the clippers but when Lebron lost he took a few days off this site and didnt want to post. Stop acting like you're a real Clipper fan
Meanwhile, you took the Lakers out of your username after Kirby chucked them out of the playoff picture.
I think it's kind of silly to downplay Paul's impact when the Clippers went to the playoffs every year since he came to Los Angeles.
Now don't get me wrong--I'm not calling Paul a winner or a non-choker. I used to root for him, after all. But to call him an albatross is absurd.
CN, while Paul has disappeared, it's tough not to blame the GM that has put together one of the tiest rotations I have ever seen for a fringe contender
Paul isn't the one to blame (completely) for the Clippers' deficiencies. Getting Doc Rivers and giving him full control of the franchise was re ed. If y'all had gone after Coach Bud instead you'd be a nightmare for the rest of the league.
Doc (and his scrub son) needs to go too. He and Mark Jackass can go spew horrible takes for a living on ESPN for all I care.CN, while Paul has disappeared, it's tough not to blame the GM that has put together one of the tiest rotations I have ever seen for a fringe contender
Just shows how good Blake truly can be when he dragged this sorry-ass team, inept coach/GM, and pathetic excuse for a "superstar" point guard to one win in this series and nearly pulled off another.
I wanted Budenholzer as soon as VDN was fired. Unfortunately, Choke Paul wanted Doc and was threatening to leave if we didn't get him. In hindsight, we should have just let that got walk instead of giving him $107 million, but what's done is done.
The ?
got missed a wide ass open three to tie the game in OT. Of course he then made an impossible one when the game was out of reach.
Austin lit up Turnobli pretty good in the first half doe
I was originally TheBestEva on every Laker site except someone had that on LG and Lakersarethebesteva was generated. That username was ..ive always been TBE. Now go back to ting on the chargers and clippers
Of course, superior athleticism doesn't mean you don't get tired. He played 46 minutes. His style of play takes more energy than Duncan's. When you are tired and don't have experience in those situations it's not surprising to see fatigue mistakes.
And he traveled like a mother er too on that shot.The ?

Main reason the Clippers are a relevent team these days and this guy still about him. You would think Clipper Nation is a fan of a very succesfull franchise by the way he keeps his standards so high.
overpaying for overrated players, tbh.
I mean, he is the biggest front runner on this board so....Main reason the Clippers are a relevent team these days and this guy still about him. You would think Clipper Nation is a fan of a very succesfull franchise by the way he keeps his standards so high.
This selfish 's choking again. Doesn't even deserve $1.07, let alone $107 million.

Switched into passive mode all game, just like Game 3
Couldn't give the ball up to Jamal Pargo fast enough all game
Absolutely re ed T for whining at the refs (shocker!)
Blake Griffin
Carried the team all series - without him, we get swept easily
Has nothing left to give physically by the 4th, since his bench is an automatic double-digit run for the Spurs and the rest of his starting lineup has done nothing but choke in the playoffs
Mainstream fans will continue to blame the one player who's consistently made an impact this series while ignoring the "shooters" who can't shoot, the point guard who's afraid to shoot, the incompetent coach/GM, and the worst bench in the history of organized basketball, though

Where exactly were the Clippers before Chris Paul? The punchline for Jay Leno every night? They've come a long way to be disappointed that they're not winning enough and against the NBA's premiere franchise--of the last 16 years anyways.
We're still the butt of jokes, they're just about early playoff exits now instead of our owner. Adding salt to the wound, we don't even get lottery picks to make up for our failure anymore, and Doc keeps trading our first-round picks for scrubs anyway.
I'll never understand the logic that just because your team used to suck badly, you can't have any expectations at all for them when they become good or you're "spoiled." Last I checked, the goal of this sport is to win championships, not to avoid the lottery and be content with getting bounced in the first or second round. If this team can't do it, there's nothing wrong with wanting to see changes made in order to field a team that can.
And yes, I realize that the Spurs are the Spurs. We're supposed to be a contender, though, and our road to the Finals was always going through San Antonio regardless. The Clippers' mental meltdowns this series has just demonstrated that they're still not at the level of a contender slightly earlier than we'd have found out if they received an "easier" first-round matchup. Additionally, this team pulled the exact same playoff flameout the last two years against worse opponents.
Blake Griffin has cost the Clippers two games in this series. I don't think we can say the same for Chris Fall.
I'm not saying don't have expectations but it's not as if they're the only franchise that is the butt of jokes that wins. The Rockets have winning seasons every year and at times even have superstars but still fail more often than not in the playoffs, often times in choking fashion. Either that or be the best team in the lottery on a yearly basis.
It happens. The Clippers are doing fine and playing the NBA's model franchise.
