Using a this from a poster on another forum-

When commentators claimed that a 3-point shooting team would never win a championship, they were talking about teams like us. A bunch of little guys who are hopeless if they can't hit from distance. When we're on, we're hard to beat. When we're off, we lose comfortably.
People thought GS was a 3-pt shooting team, but that was a misnomer. They are tough, physical, can defend multiple positions, attack the basket, get to the line, etc. They just happen to be phenomenal shooters as well. Our team make-up is just flat out wrong. Everything needs to change.

I love CP3.

We have helped him about as much as the Angels have helped Mike Trout in his career.

I pray he comes back.
**** everybody else.

Screw Paul he doesn't deserve anything more than anyone else! He was slow out the gates and looking looked disinterested. He made up his mind he didn't care then tried to pick his spots late when it was over. If he stays or goes he is just as much of at fault.

This! Tired of the constant excuses and everyone else always being thrown under the bus. CP3 is asking for an unprecedented $210 million contract this summer. Did he look like a $210 million player at any point today? He certainly didn't to me.

Is CP3 the only one to blame? No. But he was part of the problem today and has been in all of our playoff failures in this era. Denying that is ridiculous and unfair to the rest of our players.

I was at work and didn't see one second of this game. I won't make a long post about the result, not now anyways. I saw the score in the 2nd half and saw we were down double digits. I was hoping that maybe we would win the game some how.

To make a long story short I was a little disappointed in our season and disappointed in the result of losing in the 1st round. I'm sure it will be an interesting off season for us.

christ, CP is the best player on this team and arguably the best player ever to play for this franchise.

He looked like a $210 million player in Game 6 facing elimination.

He applogizes for not delivering great 5/5 performances to save this team and its fans from a flawed/ crap roster on command.

This was a loss that I really felt came down to coaching. The offense in the second through third quarters was abysmal. There wasn't any effort to get anyone moving off the ball, and we isolated with everyone spread on the wings just standing there play after play. We frankly should've been jacking up threes in the fourth, but the team at least made some effort to get quick shots up. Then we started pushing the ball into DJ constantly, who Utah rightfully hammered every time he got the ball. There was nothing strategic about the team's play.

I don't expect this team to be world beaters every year. At the end of the day this is all entertainment, but it's just pathetic to watch this team crawl through awful possession after awful possession with no real direction or structure.

We have a very big contract for DJ who is mainly a one way player.
Wes doesn't play and is dead weight on the books.
Jamal is another large contract who is just too inconsistent.
We lack quality defenders which is what we need if we keep choosing to switch on every play.

All in all, 51 wins considering our injuries is great and i'm happy with that. If we want to get out of the second round we need to fix the same roster issues we've been having for years.

DJ proved beyond a doubt can be more than a one way player. He won't be on the block but he will hustle his way to buckets and proved even in the years Paul was hurt and it was him and Blake.

100% agree. My point is that he isn't a natural scorer. We can by all means run plays for him but if we need a go to bucket, we can't just feed him in the post which is what we need to do against small ball teams. With Blake out, we need a $20m per season player like dj to be more of a scoring threat whereas all his points come from being spoon fed or offensive rebounding.

Take CP off the team and watch our win record plummet. Westbrook shoots horrible efficiency and no one cares. Even if Paul has a bad shooting night, he still adds more value to our team than any other Clipper. Possibly due to our bad coach, but if you take CP off the team we would be a lottery team with our offense.

If you take CP3 out of this team, the remaining roster won't even make the playoffs. Not with a coach like Doc.

Doc once again lost a playoff series that the Clippers were leading. He lost to a team featuring Hill, Ingles, Favors and 36 year old Johnson as their primary players by minutes played. He got out-coached by Snyder.

Do the Clippers have their first round pick this year?

with or without doc, if CP is not there, we ain't going nowhere and we ain't got any pieces to rebuild either.

I dont get the argument by those who think we need to blow up everything and start over. that might take us 10 years and still not get to where we are right now.

Clawing for first round homecourt to watch injury prone roster get bounced in new ways in the first round? Yeah most fans are ready to try the alternative it's been 5+years of this gimmick.

Won't get past the second or possibly the first as well

I was a bit upset yesterday, but I'm feeling ok as of today. I probably don't feel too bad since I didn't see any part of game 7. (I don't think I'll be looking to watch any replays anyways)

Again I'm disappointed that we couldn't get out of the first round and the we also had a lead in the series. Just something for us to think about too. With Blake we were 2-1 against the Jazz in this series, without him we were 1-3. These records also coincide with Gobert coming back for the Jazz. With that being said I still felt like we could have beaten Utah but we didn't. All these games were always at the Jazz pace and our defense was inconsistent during the series.

Also I think it's evident that JJ Redick not be on the Clippers next season. He works for us in the regular season, but in the post season the opposing team always finds ways to shut him down. I like him as a player but he doesn't find ways to show up in the playoffs consistently. I really wish we could get rid of Jamal and JJ but I'm sure we'll have at least one of them next season. It's always sad when our season comes to an end. I was just expecting more and for us to go further in the post season.
