Is it safe to say Chris Paul wasted his prime years on the Clippers?

Just seeing this Point Gawd thrive on the Rockets makes a nikka kinda sad. He was on the Clippers from age 26-32.

-He had to deal with a buffoon of a coach in Doc Rivers who cares more about coddling his son then running plays.
- A teammate in Blake Griffin who's as soft as charmin, and bones as soft as charmin
- DeAndre Jordan, a dude with a BB-IQ of a grape, who looks clueless when he's 5 ft away from the basket. Makes Shaq at the freethrow line look like Peja Stojakovic
- The same GM Doc who couldn't bring in a capable wing player. Best he could do was Matt Barnes, and a 37 year old Paul Pierce

Now he's on a real team, where his greatness would shine through even more. This nikka coulda been winning titles on a better team all those years, but there's still time he got left


@DonKnock hope you enjoy his greatness while you got him

He had Blake Griffin, D’Andre Jordan, JJ Redikk, and Doc Rivers. That’s more than enough help to at least make the conference finals, which he’s never done.

What’s his excuse for the game 6 meltdown in 2015 against Houston? Or losing game 7 at home against the Jazz?

Dude has done nothing but choke in the playoffs his entire career. He has always been a great regular season player. He’s not doing anything now we haven’t seen before.

Call me when the playoffs start :snooze:

There was a short period where the clipper starting 5 could hang with anyone, and it was only the pathetic bench, and of course fluke injuries that held them back. Then the warriors rose up and became a historically good team. The league seemed to change overnight and all of the sudden it's very difficult to contend without a stretch 4. Doc the GM was major failure here.

hey stop disrespecting doc rivers, buffoon of a coach? The man has a championship ring

chris paul and blake duo barely worked at all. Either one or another gets injured in playoffs constantly

clippers are the most cursed franchise ever, anyone that joins clippers has injury problems, like every star potential clippers player they had in their 30+ years of history had injury problems

like fukk this team real talk its all because of sterling, they need to get rid of the franchise and start a new one in seattle
