Chris Paul's legacy on life support !!!

[Menses]

Love his game and his competitive nature but sorry Paul apologists...he needs to be raped over the coals for this one...No more excuses..He is treated like he has won a ring for years..when all he has done is star in commercials...that won't cut it!!!

They bash Melo and ignore Paul's shortcomings when they have both achieved the same thing...nothing!!!! Best PF in the league...Jordan, Reddick, Rivers, Crawford...Billionaire owner....what more do you need? The Rockets had no business winning this series...If this were Lebron, he would be laughed out of the league...Chris Paul....shame shame!!!!

Indeed!!!!!!!!!

LOL...listen you nitwit..I am no noobie....Paul is considered a hall of fame point guard who for years has been treated with kid gloves by the media while Lebron and Melo continue to be slandered by the purists for one reason or another...I love Paul...his skills are supreme and his passion is there...but this guy needs to be held accountable...its not all his fault but it is his fault...lol......

Nobody thinks he is the best of all time...christ...apparently Jordan at 52 is better than Lebron at 29..LOLOL....Paul is respected in this league...and is never criticized for his shortcomings...Lebron has 4 MVP and 2 rings and folks still think he is useless....sorry..time for Paul to get some of that SHADE thrown his way....let em have it folks!!!!

Case Closed

[SharkAA]

Is this some kind of yellow press type thread? Try not to put Melo and CP3 in the same context. It's total bullshit.
Whether you like it or not, CP3 has been elite PG for years. He's by far the best player on the Clippers team. Griffin is playing D like a pussy, Jordan bricking at the FT line, horrible coaching by Doc Rivers and somehow you find CP3 to criticise??

Ok, that makes sense...

LOL...nonsense...Blake is the best player in the playoffs...but he is NOT the leader of that team...I am simply going by the criteria that was set by the people who bashed Lebron, Melo and other players who are the leaders of their teams...The leader of the team gets the blame...PERIOD....Cp3 spends more time bitching at Refs and his teammates than he does LEADING his team...a LEADER does not allow his team to loose a 19 point lead with barely a quarter left to play in an elimination playoff game...

I have every right to compare Paul to Melo.....Melo while Kobe and Duncan were still in their primes reached the 2009 Western Conference Finals with Headcase JR Smith, and an old Chauncey Billups...Paul has had better teammates and still has not been out of the 2nd round....and you are telling me not to compare the two? This is madness....

Oh that makes sense.....LOL

Nobody said, CP3 doesn't have any weaknesses. Sure he does, just like any other player.
But if he improves in some elements, do they get in the NBA Finals? Of course not. Issues on this team are elsewhere.
So many people have a false presumption 'he'll step up and carry us...' No, it's just not the way, how it works.

For the last time, don't fyking put Melo and CP3 in the same sentence. Do you even realize how putrid defensively and how much of a ball hog Melo is?? Seriously, stop with that shitty comparison.

Even if you're the leader, you need others to step up. Has Griffin improved his play on D? Little to none. Has DeAndre Jordan improved his FT%? No. Has Doc Rivers became a better coach? No.
Basketball is a team game and not 1 man game 'I will be the fykin leader, step up and carry our fykin team to the Finals'.

Until Paul gets to a conference finals...I will continue to put Melo and Paul in the same sentence...There is not one centilla of difference between their careers....and that is the point I am trying imbed into that little stubborn head of yours...LOL....Paul is obviously a team player and it is much easier to integrate Paul into a system than it is Melo...ISO players are difficult to coach...and must be surrounded by big men...to offset the volume shooting...

But Paul has had the kind of temmates MELO HAS NEVER HAD He must be held accountable for that...regardless of how well his teammates play...Lebron has been to a finals with half the team Paul has now...There are no excuses...They were up 3-1 in the series...and started celebrating too early...Howard Smith and Brewer took care of the rest...Time to Pull Chris Card....he can apply for resinstatment next year...LMAOO

Typical sbr partiality, let's act like he didn't come back from a sore hammy, clearly wasn't moving like his normal self but let's hope nobody brings that part up.

[amrit]

I agree here. People have been making excuses for Chris Paul for years. It was understandable in New Orleans, but there are no excuses anymore. He was basically the sole reason they lost Game 5 vs. OKC (turns the ball over when they are up 2 with 16 seconds left, then fouling Westbrook on the 3, and then turns the ball over again on the last possession to lose the game).

This year LAC had the series tied 1-1 vs. Houston going back to LAC. They won game 3 with CP3 playing limited minutes, so that's 2-1. When CP3's minutes increased back to normal, LAC went 1-3. They were up 20 in the third quarter at home in a game 6 closeout game. There is no excuse to lose that game to the shitty Rockets, any other superstar would be crucified.

The Carmelo comparison is relevant, he made it to the WCF (something CP has never done) and had to play the Lakers, a series they had no business winning anyways, yet they kept it close. He's also made the ECF and lost to Indiana in a series where no one on his team showed up.

Now see...this is all true...but nobody gave a shit when Dwight came back 6 months early from back surgery...there are no excuses in this league now..if it was Lebron, Dwight or Melo that coughed up a game 6 elimation 19 point lead the way the Clippers did...there would BE NO EXCUSES..the media and the public would crucify them...period....but we like Chris Paul so here come the excuses....LMAOOO

if chris paul is the best player on the team, then he needs to be the one to lead them when the chips are down
so far he has been consistantly falling short of the conference title
it always one thing or another with CP3
this team SHOULD be prepping for the GSW but instead they are going fishing

there is no reason the clippers should be going home after a 3-1 lead
this team knocked off the spurs and lose to the rockets?

basketball is one of the few in team sports, where 1 person can make a huge difference
its time to look at CP3 and evaluate whether he should even be the focal point of a team
his history has shone that he can only lead a team so far

the excuses need to stop, if any team had reasons to fail it would be the cavs
yet they are one step from the championship series

[jtoler]

You keep using terms like nobody and everybody. Not sure who those are, but I see for myself. If anybody was hampered and wasn't their normal self because of it, I'd take it into consideration, no matter who it is. Can't let the fans or media define Paul for you, what is he to you? Future HOFer, good but not great? Average, above average? I like Paul, only thing I wish he shot a little more, biggest knock I've had on him entire career.

exactly, can u imagine if the cavs had a 3-1 lead and the bulls came back to win in 7?
what type of story line would we be reading?
lebron fails, lebron chokes, lebron cant finish, lebron etc etc ...............

i had the bulls winning myself, im not surprise the cavs won, but it was how they won
the series was brutal offensively and the cavs were able to beat the bulls at their type of game

[greypimps]

lol u act like CP can take over a game like MJ or LBJ or Black mamba. He is only good at assist but that alone ain't gonna cut it when you don't have a another pg that can make his own plays.

Again...sure CP3 has weaknesses. I get it that he's not clutch. Once in a while, he'll have a clutch moment, like he did in Gm 7 against SAS, but his clutch stats speak for itself. I've never thought about CP3 being as good as LeBron, who is a leader and can carry his team or as you said a player, who can make a huge difference. I'm fine with the fact, that he's not a leader. That's why, you have Doc Rivers for; to organize a team in a way, they will play a style, that will take the best out of the players. He failed to do that, with all the talent that Jordan, Griffin and CP3 have.

Maybe Coach Rivers can get Chris Pauls brother on the team like he got his own son???
