Chris Paul wont ever win a ring
- Thread starter Shameonyou
- Start date
Blake and DJ haven't been playing soft so far this year.. don't let fist fights or lack thereof determine their actual basketball play in the court.. We need back up bigs in the worse way.. defensive, rebounding, hard nosed bigs like when we had Reggie Evans and Kenyon Martin two years ago. Memphis wasn't a problem when we had those two. Ryan Hollins and Mullens are awful off the bench. And yes CP3 has to look for his shot more especially against the better teams in the league like last night

Regular season doesn't mean shyt b. We all know what's gonna happen come playoff time, but yeah, frontcourt reserves are fukking trash compared to Kenyon and Reggie
What's gonna happen come playoff time? you tell me...
We beat Memphis the year before

Yeah, In a 7 game series after a miracle choke job that snatched their souls
This team is never winning a chip so who cares b. Right now, this year, I bet the Lakers if they faced the Clips would beat them with Bean in the playoffs.
Aside from all that, those jumpshots are gonna stop falling, teams are gonna force the ball out of Paul's hands and put the onus on others to score and they gonna lose in the first or second round.
CLippers are such a cornball fraud team. Chris Paul one of my favorite players but he's never winning shyt on that squad

cp3 isn't that type of point guard. him scoring 30-40 pts leads to losses. opposing teams want him to score. when him and nash score 30 plus they close.
Blake and CP3 were both hurt in that 7 game series with Memphis and we still won. But even I don't consider us title contenders as of right now unless we can get some decent backup bigs.. I'm even open to trading a Jamal Crawford for interior help. And other than Memphis or a OKC damn near the entire league relies on jump shots.. you act like that's just us

OKC doesn't rely on jumpers?Aside from Russ being gone, why do you think they lost that series? They had to face a team that controlled the tempo and slammed them in the post and forced a face-up, jumpshooting big like Ibaka to play out of his element. OKC can't throw the ball into the post to a Gasol or a Randolph and get points, it's either from the three-point line, a long two pointer, or bullshyt freethrows handed to Durant
I never said it was just the Clippers, I'm just implying there's a reason we're seeing the same couple teams advancing as far as they have the past few seasons. Too many cutesy teams in the league have to consistently get shooters open where a team like Miami can get easy shots at the rim anytime they want.
They have LeBron James breh

Exactly. And how does LeBron James play offensively? Highly efficient, penetrates n/h the paint whenever the fukk he wants, draws easy shots for shooters, etc. The game is more complex than that, but at it's core, the team that gets the easier opportunities tends to win the series. Your team is at its best when they super hot from behind the arc and just blow people out of the water. There are games where the Clips can rape people without CP doing a damn thing scoring wise purely because they have so many shooters that if they get hot, there's no way a cold team is going to match that output.In a 7 game series though legs tend to get tired. It's hard to stay hot over a course of 7 games.
i feel it still comes down to blake and how he plays (scores) in key stretches, particularly in the 4th quarter. that hot potato shyt he was pullin against memphis the other night was terrible... but he actually has developed a nice little but still kinda awkward jump hook and some not too bad post move competencies.
Honestly once he stops RUSHING his turn back/spin move off the back down dribble and instead takes his time to regather before goin back up with a hook shot, i feel he'll have enough to be what he needs to be for the clippers to make consistently deep playoff runs. All too often its like he out-thinks/out-quicks himself by tryna do too many moves at the same time and ends up gettin stuck and havin to throw up some type of bullshyt at the rim. Thats why ibaka blocked his shot last night late in the game, blake had a good back down sequence but then tried some wild rushed shyt at an awkward angle, instead of regathering and goin up strong.
if blake can allow himself to breath for a second there, instead of thinkin he gotta throw some shyt up in 0.3 seconds after makin his first move, then the only remaining issue is makin sure he actually gets touches when shyt maters. As in the 4th qtr, instead of things regressing to the same ol chris paul pick and roll.
but if none of that changes, then i feel like i'm just seein the same narrative of the past 2 years. except instead of billups bledsoe and butler, its now reddikk collison and dudley..
