Its time for this franchise to belong to Blake once more. Paul dribbles too much and you don't know what to expect out of him. He's aggressive one night, then he's passive and deferring to inferior players the next. I'm a Blake guy anyways.. he's the real Mr. Clipper.. I'm rollin' with Blake

One thing is for sure when Paul and Blake are passive its best to always have strong third options on the floor. Blake attacking the basket has to be a bigger factor next year.

I'm still having a tough time trying to get over this idiot and the mistakes he made down the stretch of game 5. To think we were on the verge of having a close out game at Staples for a trip to the WCF!! First time ever in franchise history.. all I can say is wow

An idiot?

have some respect man.
Not only are we far cry from 20 win seasons....we're setting records and consistently making the playoffs. He made a mistake and took a lump that night man. I don't know one superstar that hasn't taken one in their quests to achieve their goals.

Paul has a lot to prove next year get it done time is closing in. Chris Paul wasn't making the playoffs every year either without the clips.

Drafted in 05.
Missed in 06 and 07 (cool...the best player in the league and the so called 2nd best player in the league missed their 1st 2 years in)
08, playoffs
09, playoffs
10, torn meniscus (so they missed)...25-21 the day he got injured...33-38 on the day he returned.
11, playoffs
12, playoffs
13, playoffs
14, playoffs.

yea....actually he was making the playoffs outside of a freak injury to his meniscus that happened while he was by himself under the basket.

CP3's three seasons with the Clips:

2011-12: coached by VDN, 40-26, 1st round victory(4-3) vs Grizzlies, 2nd round defeat(0-4) by Spurs
2012-13: coached by VDN, 56-26, 1st round defeat(2-4) by Grizzlies
2013-14: coached by Doc, 57-25, 1st round victory(4-3) vs Warriors, 2nd round defeat(2-4) by Thunder

When you have VDN as your coach for the first two years, you go as far as you can despite him. Now with Doc, there was considerable improvement by the team overall in his first year. Not excusing CP3 for his game 5 mistakes, but it's a process and I trust Doc will make the right moves to improve the team. They will get better.
