Modern All NBA choke team

[HWoodNixon]

Coach: Pringles

Starting 5:

CP3
Jimmy Harden
DeMar Derozan
Lamarcus Aldridge
Clint Capela

Bench?

[Mikeanaro]

sook that guy knows about choke jobs.

[apalisoc_9]

Derozan and Aldridge dont choke. They're just not good.

[Dverde]

Lowry is a solid backup for CP3. CP3 actually has played great in big games lately. Maybe Lowry should start.

[Capt Bringdown]

Capela makes Bertans look hard by comparison. Completely destroyed by the pressure of the playoffs, he looked and played scared.

When he came in at the roughly 5:50 mark left in the 4th, I thought, "that's ball game."

Derozan and Aldridge dont choke. They're just not good.

Surprisingly I agree with this. Choking to me is when you are actually great and don't come through.

[Degoat]

I do agree those guys choke but at least they make the playoffs every year though, guys like Kemba Walker, John wall, Bradley Beal, Anthony Davis, KAT, Devin booker cant even make the playoffs half the time

[daslicer]

All time great choke team is

PG-CP3
SG-Harden
I don't have an SF but I'm going with Karl Malone and Barkley at the forward spots. Both had great opportunities to win les during the '90's and didn't come through.
At center I'm going with Patrick Ewing. He had a few chances also during the 90's but didn't come through.

Derozan and Aldridge dont choke. They're just not good.

Spot on. Those two are what happens when crappy franchises draft Lou Williams and Horford tier players and tell them they're stars.

[ducks]

Hilary Rodman. Clinton

[testies]

CP3
Eric Gordon
Gerald Green
James Harden
Clint Capela

[UZER]

Derozen’s low b-ball IQ make him to play bad in big moments, but at least he’s giving it his all out there.

Aldridge just ing quits.

[slick'81]

Def lowry&derfrozen at the top

[SpurPadre]

I'd put Westbrook over CP3 in terms of playoff chokes, tbh.

We can’t talk about chock this year for the rockets.

Even though i like D.White's potential going forward lets not forget who choked in our game 7 and lets hope that this is not the birth of another choke artist. A choke artist is someone you expect things from and he doesn't deliver not someone you don't expect much even though they are your highest paid players. And my last phrase leads to the same conclusion that this was Pop's best coaching job in his career.

You had high expectations of him. Thats on you. He's not even 100% to begin with. One great game and hes now the spurs savior. Lets put the breaks on that one and categorize him as a "serviceable" player, k?

He is the starting point guard and was MIA in the most important game of the season and yes i have expectations because he gave me the right to have them and it wasn't one game, he was our best defensive player most of the season and the playoffs but then game 7 came... I didn't expect him to put up points but i expected him to play the best defense he could play since it was THE game of the season.

CP played well last night.
Interestingly he's only ever gotten to the finals once in his career.
Harden has had sub-par elimination games at home 3 straight years.

If you want to complain about the Spurs, PATFO etc- look at the Rockets. Pretty much capped out. Have lost elimination games 3 straight years at home (2 in which the other teams best player was out). Despite this the Spurs have been in the same number of conference finals as Houston the last 3 years...

[horseshue]

Westbrook, lowry, as a center towns or embiid.

[horseshue]

Forgot about Ben simmons.

[Dverde]

Forgot about Ben simmons.

I’d put Simmons over CP3 right now. CP3 has a spot on the 2010s decade team.

[K...]

I don't think D'Antoni is a choker. He coaches a type of team that isn't playoff style. The suns lost to an equal or better spurs team, rockets lost to a better Golden state team. If you just look a the Rockets, the team is fragile like last year. The Warriors may be beat up and missing the League's best player, but they have champioship exp to win.


Honorable mention goes to Lebron James for not making the playoffs

How you going to have LMA on the list with Harden when LMA destroyed Harden in a game 6 on his own home court to advance to a WCF with Kawhi getting load management?
