Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Terrible call giving Harden that foul, it should've been an offensive foul for pushing off. Really annoying to watch him get away with that stuff.
 
Clips pushed it down to 8 with 2 mins left, so it’s not a done deal yet...

It should be 6, Harden's horrendous flop shouldn't have been called.

Seriously, this guy just falls down and get's the call.
 
So many players on GS I hate: Harden, Howard, Brewer, Smith, Ariza.

It'd be nice to own them in the Finals.
 
Well... It's over. GS vs Houston
I say GS in 5.

Sign me up on the Doc is overrated but still a decent coach.

He won with a stacked Celtics team that featured 3 hall of famers, I don't consider him great at all. Lucky to be the guy in charge.

Disappointed in CP3 as well, he should of went LeBron James on Houston from the shoot, if he played aggressive play after play and set the tone, maybe the team would follow and we have a game right now. Tip your caps to Terry and Pablo, they somehow got a pass.

In this game? He did. He played incredibly hard. He just didn't play efficiently. He looked like a chicken with his head cut off.
 
His teams just don't win. He's a great accumulator of stats, but the next team to win anything with Chris Paul as their best player will be the 1st.

All of the things you said are true, but the difference between a "Good" and "Great" player is that the great player will find a way to will his team to victory at some point along the way.

There is a difference though between guys like Paul/Love/Melo and Lebron/Kobe/Duncan.

If you aren't good enough to be the 1st option on a championship team you aren't a great player. Very good all-star level, sure. Just not great.

Disagree, Pippen wasn't great? McHale wasn't great?

Paul as your best scorer, you're going to struggle to win a title. Magic wasn't his team's best scorer, that doesn't mean he wasn't their best player.

I don't like Paul, I think he can be a whiny bitch, but the guy is definitely great. His teams win, but they fall short because they usually rely too heavily on him to be a scorer during the biggest moments.

He's not meant to be a go-to scorer, that's not his game.

Griffin needed to take that next level. When he did, they looked like they were on the verge of threatening GS. Now they're going home, largely thanks to Blake coming up small when they needed him the most.
 
Can't stand James Harden. Thank fuck, Steph won the MVP award and not Harden.

As for the Clippers, they choked big time. Was always going to be a mammoth task to come back after fucking-up a lead like that at their home. Not only did they lose, but they also gave the likes of Brewer, Josh Smith, Ariza etc who had been struggling a confidence boost.

Can't really fault either Blake or CP. They have played their hearts out. But their supporting cast is awful. Doc, The GM is at fault for this.
 
Harden is so full of crap that he's almost unwatchable. The officials seem wise to some of it but it's super annoying when he gets away with his garbage. He may be the most annoying play actor in the history of the NBA.
 
One excuse he has and that people will make, he played in the western conference. Put him in the East and he's in the conference finals every year.

Now I'm saying that, but people will.

Dude had his chance to demand a trade to the East. He chose LA. Don't feel a bit sorry for him. Paul had all the power when he demanded that trade.
