Chris Paul in 2008 was up 2-0 vs a worse SAS team and after that proceeded to lose 4-1 and in the last 3 games averaged 20-12 on 43/25/63 splits or a 48 TS (-6)
but this was the first of his many disappointing failures
Chris Paul vs the Denver nuggets in 09 had one of the worst series I’ve ever seen for an all-time player in his prime.
He somehow got outplayed by Playoff Melo and Billups as well. He averaged 17/10 on 50 TS (-4%). That season he averaged 23/11 on 60 TS (+6) a -10 drop off
In the last two games of that Denver series, Chris Paul averaged 8-8-4 on 30-25-33 splits. In one of the biggest blowouts ever a game in which his team went down by 58 points! Chris Paul had 4-6 and had more turnovers than he did points (6) and had a TS of 28.6 (-25%) and was a -58
In 2011 vs LA he was very good.. until the game 7 when they needed him most. As Prior to the game 7 Chris Paul averaged 24.4/11.6/6.4 on 56/47/79 splits (68 TS, +14) just to have a measly 10/11 (53 TS) in a blowout loss.
Cp3 vs the SAS in 2012 got swept and averaged 9.3-8.7-3.3 on 35 TS (-18) in the first 3 games which were all blowouts, right after he did 20/9/4 that RS on 58 TS (+6). In the final game, he was AMAZING and they only lost by 3, but what if he played like that the whole series??
Chris Paul vs the grizzlies in 2013 would blow another 2-0 lead and actually got swept after going up 2-0. But was statistically good this series as he averaged 23-6 on 53/31/89 splits (63 TS, +10%) but if he’s this top 20 player of all time why can’t he hold series leads?
Then there’s 2014 where after one of his best PS performances ever in G1 vs the thunder. He averaged 21-12 on 45/29/75 splits or a 53 TS (-1 rTS) and lost the next 4/5 games.
And we all know about the infamous game 5 with a chance to go up 3-2 he had two turnovers in the final 17 seconds up 4. And had 17/5/5 (TOs) shot 6/16 for the field for a 46.7 TS (-8) in 40 mins of gameplay.
Then there’s the classic 3-1 blown lead when after he came back his team lost 3/5 and he was outplayed by Corey Brewer and Josh smith. The team was up by 19 with 2:16 left to go in the third and were down 119-104 (34 point swing) before Cp3 hit a garbage time 3 to save his stats.
In the G7 he was massively outplayed by perennial choker James Harden who had 31/8/7 on 55 TS (+2) with no all-star or all NBA player alongside him while Cp3 had all-stars Blake and DJ and he only had 26/10 on +2 efficiency.
Then In 2016 Chris paul would go up 2-0 again vs the blazers and proceeded to lose this series. And while he was hurt. His team had already lost two straight games while he played healthy and history shows that he was bound to lose this series given he was up 2-0.
In 2017 Cp3 had one of his best series ever (27-10-5 on 63 TS, +7 efficiency), but proceeded to blow a 2-1 lead (lost 3/4 after Gobert came back) and in the game 7 had a measly 13 points and 9 assists on 6/19 shooting for 33 TS (-23). These blown leads are starting to rack up..
In 2018 Chris paul had a pretty good but not great playoff run next to James Harden. Some up and downs but pretty consistent for what it’s worth! But his injuries did creep up on him again when he went up 3-2. Not his fault at all and should receive no blame but only glory!
2019 is where it gets really iffy!! In 2019 vs the warriors Chris paul had looked like a role player as in the first 5 games he wasn’t even a top 2 scorer on his own team. Nor was he a top 5 player on the court (KD Harden Curry Gordon and Dray> CP3)
In a pivotal game 5 With a chance to go up, 3-2 this series Chris paul had an amazing 11/6/6 on 3/14 shooting (33 TS, -24%) in 38 mins! And in a fourth-quarter where KD didn’t play he was outscored by Harden, Gordon, Capela, Shumpert, Curry, and Dray and scored 0 FGs!
In the 4th of game 6 with no KD and up 7 with 11 minutes left, Cp3 would have 4 points for the rest of the game and was outscored by 14 points in those 11 mins. As he was heavily outplayed by perennial choker James Harden who had 12 points in those mins.
And as for 2020, not only was he outplayed by perennial choker James Harden H2H for an ENTIRE series. But after 8:22 left in the 4th of G7 he would get outscored by the worst game 7 performer ever and lose the game because he passed the ball to Lugentz Dort instead of shooting it.
As of rn we are awaiting to see the finals results of his PS which has been extremely up and down and is in danger of blowing ANOTHER dominant series lead.
