I cant cheer for one team to stop getting dominated by another? The Dubs have looked like some ass early this season while the Clips have been blazing. This is their best chance to get a dub against emU n1ggaz are really getting carried away. Fukk op
at the blatant revisionism of that Rockets/Clippers game in this thread.
:philjacksonlol:I don’t know, breh. I don’t think that was me.I was saying the Knicks should trade for him, I'm sure if I searched you were probably like
"We can't lose Melo for him, he trash anyway"
Deplorable, revisionist posting. You didn't even watch the game, it's blatantly obvious. You didn't read my breakdown of that 4th quarter the first time or the second time (as per usual -not reading properly), because if you did you would've seen that I didn't just blame CP3. You're doing your same ole box score breakdown to draw conclusions of what happened routine. You do it over and over, from thread to thread. Absolutely no context of what was going on during the game whatsoever.Facts that cannot be Gilsplained away:
CP3 had 21 of the Clippers' final 33 points, no one else had more than 3.
The Houston run started the exact moment that CP3 was taken out after leading a big LA run, and LA immediately went 0-for-until-CP3-comes-back. THAT is what gave the Rockets their momentum.
Blake, Crawford, and Ariza accounted for the 4 Clippers turnovers in the 16-minute Rocket run. CP3 had zero.
Blake and Crawford, the other two Clippers scorers, were 0-9 for 0 points in the fourth.
Terrance Jones, Corey Brewer, and Josh Smith, three 6'9" guys, scored 36 points in the Houston run. CP3's men didn't do shyt.
And all that while CP3 was at 75% with a hurt hamstring.
All of those are facts, not revisionism. Blaming CP3 for that game is stupid on its face. You can Gilsplain the play-by-play all you want to ignore literally every time CP3 scored, every time anyone not named CP3 let the Rockets score, and somehow stretch the truth to blame every error and limitation of the other 4 guys on the court on CP3. I've seen you do it before. And yes, Chris Paul did not play a perfect game, no one ever does. He made mistakes and some of those mistakes were in the 4th. But even with those mistakes he was better than anyone else on the court that night, especially his teammates who made just as many mistakes without anything positive on the other side of their ledger. I posted straight facts up above and none of your inane revisionism is going to make any of those facts change.
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.

at this revisionism. I'm sure I've called you out for this before. It's clear as hell you did NOT watch that series.
You're completely right. Ironically this wasn't the first time Blake had choked in those playoffs. The series before he turned the ball over on a pivotal clutch possession against the Spurs in what would've been a won game. He pushed the series out to 7 unnecessarily .I'm straight heated with these claims about the Houston collapse right now.
CP3 scored 12 out of 15 Clippers points during a run where they stretched the lead to 19 in the 3rd quarter. Then Doc took him out of the game.
The next 5 Clippers possessions:
Blake turnover
Blake turnover
Rivers missed layup
Rivers missed three
Reddikk missed three
Doc realizes the rest of the team doesn't have shyt and brings CP3 back in, who immediately sets up a made three for Crawford, but with Terrance Jones hitting a three on Blake the lead is now just 13 going into the 4th quarter.
In the 4th Corey Brewer suddenly goes crazy, scoring 9 of the next 12 points (the other was a 3 by Ariza). Then Josh Smith suddenly catches fire, scoring 8 straight before Brewer makes 5 more. The two of them take turns down the stretch in the most unlikely playoff scoring duo ever.
Meanwhile, everyone on the Clippers not named "Chris Paul" looks like they forgot how to play basketball. Blake Griffin goes 0-5 for the quarter, with four of those misses coming at the rim, and commits three fouls while being completely unable to stop either Brewer or Smith. Crawford goes 0-4 and commits two fouls. CP3 was missing some shots too, but still scored more than everyone else on the Clippers combined (9 for CP3 in the 4th, just 6 for everyone else). And despite all the time that CP3 has the ball in his hands, there were 4 Clippers turnovers in that final 15-minute run and not a single one was on him.
And you're talking about the guy who had just had the incredibly clutch Game 7 against the Spurs in the first round (27 points on 9-13 shooting including the game-winner over Duncan, all on a pulled hamstring) and who had missed Game 1 and Game 2 due to that same injured hamstring. He was running around at 75% and still looked like the best player on the court.
I don't know what you wanted CP3 to be able to do to stop Smith/Brewer from lighting up the Clips, get Blake to stop turning the ball over and missing bunnies, and have Crawford hit a damn shot when it mattered.
p.s. - in the three losses to end the series, the Clippers were -25 in 23 minutes when CP3 sat. That's why Doc had to force an injured player to stay in 40 minutes/game.
