[RoseCity07]

I didn't know he had it in him to brick 2 free throws in that situation. OMG.

Skip Bayless is going to use this to gloat for years. The one time he talks trash about a player and they actually play like a scrub.

Career loser. Stockton, Nash, Barkley, Karl Malone, actually played in June. Paul hasn't even sniffed the Conference Finals once.

[K Xerxes]

He did miss 2 FTs, but he's the only reason they were in the game in the first place, hitting clutch shots down the stretch (including two threes). They lost this game because Blake only played 19 minutes (refs) and Collison made boneheaded plays down the stretch.

[bballnoob1192]

Are you out of your ****ing mind? this guy is a top 5 PG all-time regardless of choke woes. He is absolutely a great talent that we haven't seen.


He is more than a "superstar talent", he's a HOFer.

Couple of things here. CP3 choked hard. It's just the truth, but admittedly, he was the reason the clips came back. his 3 ball was crucial down the stretch.

but at the end of the day, his team lost once again, and for a 86% shooter, missing two freethrows in cruch time. It it what it is
CHOKE

[bballnoob1192]

CP3 is a superstar, but the dude is not an alltime great tho. just chokes too much and if he doesn't even make it to the finals once on these stacked ass clipper teams for a couple more years this dude should not ever be talked about anymore.

[Smook A.]

Saying CP3 is not a superstar is pretty stupid, tbh.

He'll always be a superstar to me. He single-handedly kept the Clips in the game. Without him, the Warriors would've won by 10+. This loss was because of Blake Griffin's poor play, overall bad defense by the whole Clippers team, and jacking up stupid shots.

[ThePhantomCreep]

With all I've said though, I believe Dwight freaking Howard would have made at least one. :facepalm My god what a choke. I think his choking problem is much worse than I imagined at first.

With how many seconds left?

They would've probably lost had he made them both. It's not a ridiculous comment, it's literally fact.

He brought them back in the game.... but missed a couple of free throws with 10 seconds left. First time in his career he's missed two clutch free throws in a row. It's a fluke.

It's Curry's only job. And he did force it... you weren't watching?

The guy is an enormous talent... but plays as much D as lillard.

Payton..................I'm really not sure because Paul was just as better on Offense than Payton is to Paul on D....


Frazier is a reach, he was on some great teams but never an MVP type player.

Oscar was great, I'll pass that. Thomas was ALMOST DEFINITELY not better than Paul on either end. Magic the GOAT PG gets him.

So really only 2. And only one FOR SURE.

no he wasn't. payton was dpoy and averaged over 20 ppg multiple seasons (while getting dpoy) there is no contest.

isiah thomas is a two-time champ with legendary performances and is one of the only players in nba history with a career average of almost 20-10, stop trying to compare a champion to a career lose you're being foolish right now.

and you need to do your research on frazier.

[oarabbus]

Huh? :oldlol:

Wait, who do you root for?

[Purch]

Cp is the reason GS didn't win by double figures
So just so we're clear, if the clippers as the 3rd seed lose to the warriors as a 6th seed, it's still not considered underachieving by Paul?

[PsychoBe]

It's Curry's only job. And he did force it... you weren't watching?

The guy is an enormous talent... but plays as much D as lillard.

no he only "forced" it when his team wanted a shot-clock bail-out when they couldn't get anything. he didn't try to take it into his own hands he did his job as a pg and passed the ball around.

and his team won, so he had to have done something right.

[Budadiiii]

that just makes him more of a choker. Clutchest player regular season, mr disappearo in the playoffs
:oldlol:

Guy elevates his game in the playoffs.

If you want to make an argument about how a 6ft PG has a limited impact on the game then that's fair, but acting like this dude is scared of pressure or cracks under it is hilarious to me. He thrives in pressure situations and always has.

[Fawker]

Unless you are Shaq or Griffin or Dwight, freethrows should be bunnies to get you to the next game plan. Superstars should not be missing both of those.

Isiah, the leader of the Bad Boys, who beat Bird, Magic and Jordan in the playoffs is not better than someone who couldn't even beat a team led by Mike Conley
And CP3 isn't an MVP type player either

[notatop29pg]

no he only "forced" it when his team wanted a shot-clock bail-out when they couldn't get anything. he didn't try to take it into his own hands he did his job as a pg and passed the ball around.

True, he gave the ball to Klay and let him and Lee play 2 man basketball for the entire 4th. Then went and stood in the corner on Defense so he couldn't be abused :)

I actually know my research on Frazier. And he was definitely a good player and prennial All-star.... Hofer.....

Payton, Magic, Robertson and it stops there.

Thomas was on stacked teams, like PAUL :facepalm , (series isn't over yet tho) and won two titles. But offensively and defensively Paul is just better......As a player he is just, that.

Kidd, not enough O. Nash not enough D, Stockton is 50/50.

Nobody else. West was a SG and that's universally known.

name one other offensively competent teammate isiah had during his championship runs besides joe dumars. just one. you mean offensive monsters like dennis rodman and bill laimbeer? it was isiah, joe, and defensive roleplayers. that's it. you can name vinnie but he was just a bench player similar to jamal crawford. sometimes he's hot, sometimes he's not.

jason kidd has more career triple doubles than any other pg but it's "not enough" stop it.

stockton holds the record for steals and assists all time, it's not a contest.

frazier never choked in the playoffs either btw.

he could play both but i'll let that one go.

and kevin johnson was a monster who averaged 20-10 multiple years and was one of the premier elite perimeter defenders on those suns teams.

Missing two freethrows is bad because he is such a good shooter but to overlook the entirety of the quarter how he brought his team back as well as the dumb shit his teammates were doing and pin the loss on him is retarded. Criticizing him for the missed freethrows is acceptable. To claim that he is a choker that he is not a superstar that he is on the level of joe johnson? That right there is fcking retarded plain and simple

Of course...it's 1 game...nothing going on big in round 1 game 1 anyway.

I just agree with what Chazzy said...any superstar is going to get big criticism for ending a playoff game like CP3 did.

Of course the over-reaction is crazy...but Chazzy is probably the least likely person to over-react on here. He's probably the most balanced poster on the board.

[red1]

Read the thread, you are missing red1's point.

The Clippers defense was trash all game. Blake played no where near the level he's played all season.. Again, nobodies saying CP3 didn't play bad down the stretch, but the "CP3 is a playoff choker" and "its all his fault" bs needs to stop
Exactly. His team let him down man. Paul showed up today

[Akrazotile]

My opinion on CP3 has changed. He's not a superstar talent.


This is the dumb, average fans mentality.


Ray Allen has missed two inexplicable late game free throws. So has Kobe. So have many great players.

Youre too unintelligent to take lots of pieces of information and compute them all together, so you just take whatever is simplest and most recent, and make a declaration off of it.


Congrats. You have demonstrated your status amongst the ranks of the low Iq fans. Not that this status was ever in question.

I missed the point then as well.

What? I agree, Paul fouled up, but he IS taking heat for those turnovers and missed freethrows... Just look at social media. It was uncharacteristic for a player of his caliber.

[The-Legend-24]

A Raptor and a Clipper fan agreeing with each other. :oldlol:

Fvcking losers. :oldlol:

[Akrazotile]

he is expected to ball out of his mind, if he does, then he is just playing to his expectations unless he posts some monster statline like 42/18/3 or some shit like that. he is called a superstar for a reason. imagine kd or bran missing those freethrows? I gurantee there will be 30 threads in the first page talking about it with 6000 gifs

So 30 threads from dumb cattle bleeting a mindless talking point makes it accurate?

[DMAVS41]

totally agree.

I think my point would be that a superstar playing well in the playoffs is just expected.

and when you struggle late in a close game...you are going to get some heat for it.

That's all....totally agree that the over-reaction shit is crazy...especially when Paul has been one of the best clutch players in the league for like 10 years now.

It's just that in this game...Paul will and should take Heat at the end. Him playing well doesn't change that...that is what superstars do...they play really well night in night out in the playoffs.

Chazzy is an unintelligent "hero-watcher"

He believes in things like clutch gene and "killer instinct" and iso hero ball and all the superhero nonsense the dumb fans turn the game into.


Both of you are confirmed low IQ.

You guys didn't get the memo? Clippers being soft was all Vinny Del Negro's fault.

This is the same team that got swept last year and suddenly they're supposed to be the next 90s Bulls or something (according to ESPN).

Yeah.

He's one of the best posters on this site and could talk circles around you.

He doesn't even like iso hero ball you moron.

And the clutch gene and killer instinct actually exist...sorry.

[dannywpt]

Harden? Melo? :confusedshrug:

No one's spewing out comments like "the only SG I'd take over Harden is MJ", like people say about CP3 and Magic. Paul is the most overrated.

No thanks. I'm not retarded.

[Young X]

How come nobody's talking about Blake "best player on the Clippers" Griffin's 16 pt/3 reb performance?

Like I said before CP deserves all the heat that comes his way for the way closed the game, but how are you supposed to win in the playoffs when your supporting cast keeps disappearing every year?

Even with the choke Paul was still the best player on the floor and clearly played well enough for his team to win, but you can't win with p*ssy teammates.

I think, in large part, because we've never really seen Griffin do anything in the playoffs before. He was hurt last year and in 12 he wasn't really good either...can't remember if he was hurt or not.

I think on some level we all have reservations about what type of playoff player Griffin can be.

We'll see...

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

No thanks. I'm not retarded

I don't have a twitter, but clowns are just spamming Skip Bayless tweets.. probably where OP got this "fake superstar" trash from.. :oldlol:

[miggyme1]

Career loser. Stockton, Nash, Barkley, Karl Malone, actually played in June. Paul hasn't even sniffed the Conference Finals once.


we giving people brownie points for playing in june now? smh

stockton is still ringless.....so is barkley...so is malone and nash hasnt been to the finals EVER....soooooo idk what the hell u smoking kid.

[GoSpursGo1984]

lol at Paul being the best pg in the league

[RoseCity07]

This is what I love about the playoffs. People think a team sucks but then a team that hasn't been playing defense all year actually tries and it's different ball game.

[Bigsmoke]

lol at Paul being the best pg in the league

CP3 is clearly the best

[Akrazotile]

Funny thing is OP actually stated: "Ive never seen Paul choke like that" which in itself indicates it was an anomoly. And then he proceeds to use two free throws to define a players standing in the league.


Sometimes, the stupidity of this world is too much.

[Marlo_Stanfield]

people can go full retard on paul but the fact remains that barnes collison and Jamal went like 4/25 and griffin had foul trouble

[jstern]

These people are human. Everybody chokes. I've seen Ray Allen missed two free throws to seal a game on two different occasions, as well as Kobe Bryant. The two Chris Paul misses were part of 5 clutch free throw misses in a row by both teams.

People just need to realize that they are human first and for most, and stop acting as if they're super heroes or something that like that.

It's happened in the past, it will happened in the future.

[Akrazotile]

They go full retard on everything around here.

[J Shuttlesworth]

Nobody mentions that Paul had 2 huge clutch 3's to get them back in the game.

[RoseCity07]

Nobody mentions that Paul had 2 huge clutch 3's to get them back in the game.

True, but he didn't just brick free throws. He dribbled the ball out of bounds.

[GoSpursGo1984]

CP3 is clearly the best

If he is why can he not take his team further in the playoffs? People who think he is the best are people who base it on empty stats in the regular season.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Of course. ISH loves to hate little guys:

Isiah Thomas
Chris Paul
Allen Iverson

Etc.

[The-Legend-24]

:oldlol: @ all the excuses. He choked, period.

Dude is the next Duncan. Chokes away games, the excuses pile up. What a joke. :oldlol:

[Legends66NBA7]

Outside of that, he was still the best player on the court. But man, it's going to frustrating for Clippers fans and their players if they get an early exit from the playoffs again.

[PsychoBe]

That's the point of an ELITE, HOF NBA point guard, YOU create FOR your teammates. You just talked about Isaiah having 10 APG and now you're saying his teammates STILL weren't offensively efficent? HIS fault.

Chris Paul has lead the NBA in steal 6 striaght season, that's an unheard of feat, and the second closest was 3 straight seasons. He's also led the NBA in APG 3 times. 25+ PER for 6 straight years. This is no regular PG.

CP3 > Kidd. CP3 is an entire tier above Kidd ofensively and Kidd had to ride an incredibly deep Mavs team and Dirk to win a title. He was good for them too though.

Stockton and Paul is 50/50. Paul was better on defense and Stockton was no slouch, both had incredible amount of assists, Stockton shot ridiculous numbers but on considerably low volumes. ANd he had SEVERAL chokes too.

Frazier was a very good player on a stacked, ridiculously HOF'd out team. Stop it. He's not as good as Paul and considering pace his numbers are even less impressive.

LOL KEVIN JOHNSON.

no i said that he had defensive minded roleplayers. at the end of the day, the bill was on isiah, and to a lesser extent joe, to run that team, no one else.

kidd went to the finals twice, cp3 made it out of the first round once. and kidd has more triple doubles than cp3 probably has playoff wins.

stockton is the all-time leader in steals....ever. let me say it again because you dont seem to the grasp this.

the all-time leader in steals and assists by a wide margin.

do you get it now?

frazier played with one other hofer of note with earl monroe. and he average almost 18-10 on his way to an nba-championship. why players who never won anything should be rated over legends of the past who have is beyond me. frazier was the real deal.

do your research on kj. he was an absolute animal and an offensive juggernaut, especially when he played next to barkley his numbers were still sharp.

[R.I.P.]

Have you seen his play-off record?

[Graviton]

Paul was aggressive this game at least, he brought them back and played well outside the missed free throws. Hard to hate on a guy that does 90% good. Rest of the team needs to step up.

[oarabbus]

:oldlol: @ all the excuses. He choked, period.

Dude is the next Duncan. Chokes away games, the excuses pile up. What a joke. :oldlol:


Duncan has more rings than LeBron :biggums:


2011 :biggums:

[SuperPippen]

:oldlol: @ all the excuses. He choked, period.

Dude is the next Duncan. Chokes away games, the excuses pile up. What a joke. :oldlol:


When exactly did Duncan choke? A missed shot isn't a choke. A choke is when a player has, for example, a 6-for-24 game in the Finals. (Coincidentally, the player who had that game is the very same player who you worship and would gladly make excuses for under any circumstances).

Rene once again demonstrating why he's one of the worst posters on this board.
:oldlol:

[Jacks3]

Duncan went 10-27 in game 7 of the 05 Finals.

I guess he does have some chokes.

[secund2nun]

If he is why can he not take his team further in the playoffs? People who think he is the best are people who base it on empty stats in the regular season.

None of the PGs can carry their teams far, but I'd still say CP3 is clearly the best.

[Bigsmoke]

CP3 playoffs stats are legit.

Blake kept getting hurt and he had little help in 2009 and in 2011

[BigTicket]

CP3 is approaching McGrady status. Great talent and great stats, but never accomplished anything.

[SexSymbol]

it will happened lol

When did Kobe miss two straight FTs in the PO?

[SexSymbol]

And to comment on PGs
Anybody who's saying that CP3 is on Stockton's level has to get off that pipe. Stockton was better on both sides of the floor.
Kevin Johnson in a 50/50.
Kidd is definitely better, has taken his team as a leader to two finals, won one ring afterwards, much better all-around player than CP3 and considerably better on D.
Magic, Oscar, Isiah obvious choices
Frazier is 50/50 too.
Nash is wayyy better on offense, CP3s teams always struggle on offense, because he doesn't have all-time great vision and is often off on his feel for the rhythm of the game.
Gary Payton is similar on offense and def. better on D
I'd like to bring in a few names too:
Dennis Johnson - career numbers aren't as good, but a finals MVP
Nate Archibald - career numbers similar, still a champion
Bob Cousy isn't mentioned enough, he's a top 3 PG ever, 6x champion, MVP, DEFINITELY better than Paul

He's in the top 8-10 range.

[GoSpursGo1984]

CP3 playoffs stats are legit.

Blake kept getting hurt and he had little help in 2009 and in 2011

It is more then just stats though it is about being able to do what it takes to win that is what great players do.
