Random NBA Observations 2016 - 2017

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

nah

In the final 20 seconds [Paul] committed two turnovers and an even bigger blunder, fouling Russell Westbrook on a 3-point shot with the Thunder down two.

“Everything happened there on the end is on me,” Paul said. “Probably the toughest thing I’ve been through basketball-wise.”

- OKC series in '14 (in position to lead 3-2 going back home, until CP choked in the last 20 seconds)

In simply stunning fashion, Paul and the Clippers became just the ninth team in NBA history to blow a 3-1 series lead, capping off an epic collapse with a 113-100 Game 7 loss on Sunday. Just like that, that first Western Conference Finals appearance was wrestled from Paul’s grasp, and the Clippers’ grasp as well. It was made even worse by the fact that Los Angeles led Game 6 on its home floor by 19 points in the third quarter.

First off, Paul absolutely deserves to take some of the blame for this collapse. As the team’s best player, he must take some responsibility. But how much should he take, really?

It’s more than fair to point the finger at Paul for playing a part in the epic Game 6 collapse. He shot just 1-of-6 from the field in the fourth quarter* (*with the game in reach) and didn’t record a single assist as the offense went stagnant. The Clippers went nearly six minutes without a point, and that just can’t happen when you’re trying to close out a series.

- Houston series in '15 (ended up choking away a 3-1 lead against a garbage ass Rockets team)

Not to mention:

He and the Clippers let a 2-0 series lead slip against the Grizzlies in '13 (lost four straight with CP getting ejected in Game 7)

He and the Clippers were swept 4-0 against the Spurs in '12

He had a 10-point, five turnover performance against the Lakers in the elimination game in '11 (lost the series 2-4).

Yeah.
