Why does Chris Paul get blamed for the Clippers chokes

[LoneyROY7]

He got injured Game 6 against the Rockets

DJ and Blake should have took over but once again we find out..Useless without CP3

The man who operates the #1 offense in the NBA (2 years straight)

What the f*ck are you talking about? Blake led the Clippers to a win by himself in Game 1 vs the Rockets (he had 26/14/13). And had 34/15/4 in game 2 without Paul.

Definitely useless without Paul, RIGHT?

Blake's always been better without CP by the numbers. Sorry to f*ck up your narrative cuz.

Neither Blake nor CP should be blamed. They were the ones who held it down the entire time while Barnes and Crawford were useless on both ends.

The only reason the Clippers even got past the Spurs was because of the terrific play from that duo. They got completely outplayed in every other facet of the game. The Spurs' bench DOUBLED the Clippers bench in terms of production.

In the 3 losses to the Rockets, Blake and CP were the only ones who showed up. Why should they be blamed? Makes no sense. So the Clippers would be better off without their contributions?

Chris Paul has been lucky to play with offensively gifted power forwards his whole career. That is why his numbers are inflated. It still doesn't change the fact that he has a low ceiling on the overall impact from his game which is why he has never even played in a conference finals game.

David West...the offensively gifted GAWD

Agreed. Chris and Blake have had the team on their shoulders for the last 4 years with DeAndre really coming into his own the last couple. It's time for some supporting players to step up this year.

[Mr. Jabbar]

Did u guys even watch the houston series last season? geez..

CP3 has such a low impact that over the past 4 seasons he has the highest offensive +/- in the league.

No team has performed better on offense than the Clippers with CP3 on the court, yet...he has a low impact.

He helped turn around the worst franchise in NBA history. Clippers went from missing the playoffs every season to people putting championship expectations on them. Low impact.

[Gileraracer]

Because he's the floor general and has a stacked team. Still not able to reach the WCF

[masonanddixon]

Because he chokes in the clutch. Turnovers, missed shots, idiotic fouling.

And he has the most stacked team in the league.

Blew 2-0 and 3-1 series leads in the past two postseasons.

The criticism is entirely justified and warranted.

[Genaro]

People always blame the best player but in this case, it's deserved. I love CP3 as a player and I've never been in the "CP is a choker" bus but last season he was disappointing in that Rockets series.
That game 6 in witch they had a enormous lead, Harden was having a terrible game and Rockets were playing with Dwight and reserves, it was ridiculous the Clippers to come up short.
"B-b-b-but Barnes and Reddick were shooting bricks"
It doesn't matter. A great player find ways to win games. If the rest of the team are not hitting, a great player job is to put the team on his back and will them to victory. That what CP did in the Spurs game and because we all know he can do it, it's very frustrating to see him choke like that.

[LikeMike]

CP3 has choked as an individual many times, it isn't just his team.

[aj1987]

I can't think of a player who gets more excuses than CP3. Great player, but just doesn't have the mentality. Heck, even with LeBron's mentality, the dude could've gotten past the Rockets.

That's supposed to suggest he has the most impact, responsible for a lot of the Teams wins, and great play, right? Then why can't he be criticized likewise when the Team doesn't perform according to his numbers and advance statistics in crucial situations?

It's not like Chris Paul just started doing this when he joined the Clippers, this choking shit at inopportune moments was a staple during his Hornets tenure too.

He's still the best PG, but then again so was Nash for a time and look how people look back on his career.

[All Net]

His has to take some of the blame...you only have to look at the series against the thunder. His late turnover pretty much cost them that series

In Game 7 Blake didn't really show up. He had nice stats but he didn't have great impact on the Game.
