3 HUGE costly errors by CP3 at the end

[J Shuttlesworth]

1. Fouling Westbrook on the 3
2. Not taking the foul after Durant's 3, and jumping to turn the ball over
3. Turning the ball over at the end

Refs aside, these are GIANT late game errors. This choke is as bad as the Spurs last year, IMO.

[Perfect]

Chris Paul's post-game makes me want to cry.

[ThatCoolKid]

He also got completely stripped by Westbrook on the inbounds before the Jackson call. Also, was throwing up brick after brick for the last few minutes of the game aside from that 1 jumper he made.

1-6 shooting, bad fouls, 3 turnovers in final 4 minutes. That cant happen CP cmon:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

1-6 shooting, bad fouls, 3 turnovers in final 4 minutes. That cant happen CP cmon:facepalm :facepalm :facepalm
Before those turnovers at the end, he had 36 assists on 2 turnovers over the last 90 minutes of play or something like that

[Jacks3]

4. Giving the ball to Crawford and getting out of the way so he can ISO.

:facepalm

[Thunderstruck]

westbrook fouled him
he didnt foul westbrook
reggie jackson fouled him
Wrong on all three. The only bad call at the end was the no foul call on Jackson and subsequent makeup for it on the review. The rest was on the clips.

I wanted OKC to win this game but this game was rigged.

He didn't foul Westbrook. That's what a lot of people aren't talking about. The rigged replay call was bad enough, but then you make it 10 times more rigged by giving Westbrook a bailout call?:oldlol:

This was really bad.

[Young X]

So disappointed in him. The refs were horrible, but he made way too many uncharacteristic mistakes down the stretch, no excuses. :(

[TylerOO]

Best part was when he pounded his chest after hitting a jumper to put them up 7 like it was some huge pressure moment.

YEAH POUND THAT CHEST NOW BOY

I could live with the bailout call on the 3 if they didn't completely ignore Jackson fouling CP3 in the final 2 seconds.

[russwest0]

why was he trying to shoot a fullcourt shot with 17 seconds left instead of securing the ball?

westbrook ripping the ball from him there was just further proof of the difference in both players.

paul doing some stupid shit playing for the whistle and westbrook coming up huge in response. 38 points tonight :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[ThunderKat]

2 turnovers and a 3 pt foul... massive choke job by Paul. He cost them the game. The missed foul play is irrelevant.

[Akrazotile]

Cant blame him entirely, if his coach was blacker this wouldnt have happened

[Noyze]

Chris Paul was so incredibly sad at the at the press con that I'm not even mad at him. But my view of him has changed, I don't think he's as good as I thought he was.

He didn't just make mistakes, he made plays you would expect from JaVale MeGee. I know CP3 isn't stupid, but why would he even do some of the things he did?

[coin24]

Standard CP3, hes just not that good. Stupid plays even though the game was blatantly rigged

[Young X]

Looking back, the only time he choked was when Westbrook stole the ball from him. Phantom fouls called against you and getting hit on your arm with no call isn't making errors, it's playing 8 on 5.

That wasn't a phantom foul genius, he clearly had his hand on Westbrook's elbow on the replay. Jamal got the exact same calls.

All Paul had to do is hold the ball instead of trying to get 3 FTs like a bitch. That's it, that is all on him.

What about the turnover at the very end of the game by Paul??? :facepalm

Also, Westbrook who was destroying Paul all night should have gone to the rim, but instead jacks a wild 3. Paul bails him out by hitting him. I was stunned at his decision making. If I were a Clippers fan I would be highly pissed at him. Without the melt down by Paul this game was over.

I mean, he couldn't protect the ball on 2 crucial plays and all he had to do was let Westbrook take that wild 3. Westbrook missed that same wild 3 in game 4.

[Young X]

What about the turnover at the very end of the game by Paul??? :facepalmJackson clearly fouled him on his arm the same way Paul "fouled" Westbrook. Look for yourself. That wasn't a choke.

[Black Mamba's B]

All that flopping coming back to bite him in the ass

Good point.

How is a guy meant to play D in a game on the line situation when the refs keep changing their minds on what is allowable and what isn't?

One game its a no call, next its a foul. Makes life difficult.

Bayless gonna go in hard on him tomorrow :bowdown:

[dreamwarrior]

What about DJ fouling out with 0 points? He laughed when he fouled out and I just had a bad feeling they were going to lose this one due to overconfidence
