CP3 making players "better" is one of the biggest myths in basketball. Yes, he is/was a great player, but he didn't make players around him better. It's just a loaded term used for pass-first PGs.

Why are people talking like the Clippers weren't winning regular season games before this? Didn't they start 10-1 last year?
A team averages 55 wins a year for five straight years, but now they're suddenly good because they won 4 games?
The reason the Clippers have failed to advance over the last five years has been injuries in the playoffs and two flukey games they threw away in the 4th quarter (including that Game 6 Josh Smith onslaught that I am convinced basketball historians will determine to have not actually happened). Winning 4 regular season games doesn't do crap to show that they're better now.
Plus 3 of their top 4 scorers right now are new additions.

Its crazy cause we been knew blake can flourish as a point foward, homie is unleashed, CP3 dat dude too tho
I think its a moot point.. I think once Jerry West came aboard he said no to the fifth year of that CP3 deal. He definitely wanted out but this made it a no brainer for him to leave. Hope the best for him but I'm glad we moved on from CP3, Paul Pierce, JJ Redikk, and Jamal Crawford. Plus if CP3 resigned with us Blake wasn't coming back so something had to give this off season.
can Chris Paul stay healthy? stupid postThat was a dope shot, but did CP3 really lose? Is this Clippers team REALLY a contender?Can Blake Griffin actually stay HEALTHY and keep up this level of play?

Shooting 44% from 3 so far too 
That was the game CP3 was supposed to deliver for us if he's truly a top tier super star PG. He had the biggest 'deer in the headlights' look out of everybody on the team in that game 6. Like most of the shyt I blame Doc and the owner Steve Ballmer for not having real GM in place and not developing players and making decent trades... But that OKC choke the year before and that Game 6 up by 19 in the 4th was CP3's moment to carry us home.. especially that game 6 against Houston
finished 3rd in MVP voting that year. beast
Griffin was always their star player, to be honest.This team is a perfect example of what's called the Ewing Theory basically how a team can preform better and win games without their best star player
Same could be said about the spurs

how are yall blaming cp3 for blakes past failures in crunch time ?
cp3 would make him lose his footing and fall down on drives ?

Blake has only averaged 54 games/season the last three years and got knocked out for good in the 1st round of the playoffs the last two years running. It's a legitimate concern.
