It is funny that in the supposed "point gaurd era" the best PG in the league is heading home. Again.

ass racist old biaaatch

Doc can't save you

So many premonitions/past trends coming to fruition lol

Dude couldn't shut up and stay out the papers. I'm waiting for an anonymous spurce to speak on this ar some point.

Same as it ever was!

I honestly can't see him the same after the last two games, he's still really good but he fucked up colossally at the end of game 5 and looked like he had the will taken out of him in game 6.

Paul is no Isiah. He can't even make it to the conference finals.

Just for a second. Come on.

With that group of guys in LA IMO

plus he rode Ray/Pierce/KG for the 2008 chip.

Rondo responded by refusing to even look at the rim & kept passing the rock to Ray when he was running on fumes chasing Bean around on the other end. Their best advantage was Rondo against wack ass Fisher & Rondo failed miserably. We are talking about the same Fisher a plethora of point guards have feasted on consistently throughout his post-season career. Cp3 would have run circle around him esp. when he doesn't have to expand energy on the other end of the floor instead of being neutralized in Gm 7 by the great Derek Fisher.

Doc should have benched Rondo (for Nate) just like he did in Gm 4 of the 2008 historic comeback fueled by his back-up Eddie House.

Let me correct it for you: "You have NEVER seen me make a point to support made-up agendas. Ever." If you are claiming Rondo wasn't playing tentative against Derek muphuckin' Fisher then I need you to go watch the ENTIRE 4th quarter on YT & get back at me. It's a known fact Phil was daring Rondo to beat them & Rondo never took the challenge instead he proceeded to pass the rock to Ray who EVERYONE knew wasn't close to 100% & was running on fumes plus was being checked by Kobe not slow ass Fisher. The reason why the Kings gave Phil trouble was because the pack the paint strategy that Phil relied upon didn't work against Bibby although it did work against Tony Parker in 2004 amongst many other.

Rondo shows up in the big games. Last time he was in the playoffs putting up 17/11/6/2.

do you guys even try think things through before you post? jeez.

You can replying and keep getting cooked right along with CPPlea

(See this can go on all day)

i'm reasonably confident that any team good enough to treat CP3 as a fourth option could win a title, so rondo's title means jack all in this debate.

he actually thinks that dude is gonna head to the Hall of Fame off that distant-fourth-option chip (while getting screamed on by the Big 3 like Miami does Chalmers).

Meanwhile Ainge is trying to find any team that's got a GM half that deluded so he can dump this dude.

I'd rather go with a championship though

Chalmers got two chips! DFish got five! Hall of Fame!

solely because he has a title.

You also can't find a quote of me saying Rondo is HOF bound based off what he's done up to this point.

Why?

Cuz it never happened.

But you stay coming in here fumbling over yourself battling wrong points.

Congrats on that Chalmers chip. Rondo joins the elite list of PGs not named Tony Parker to win the chip the past two decades.

Glad you found time to add absolutely nothing to the conversation.

in the same conversation you tried to say Reggie Miller was better than Allen Iverson, guess I'll go see if AT&T still has my old 4S on them.

Glad you've finally come to realize that Rondo ain't sniffing Hall of Fame.

What was the conversation you were having again, Chris Paul?

Another guy that's better than Rondo like Wessy, T5T & others?

And your replies are trending toward Mad as fuck.

Dude went to the finals, conference finals after that putting up dominating numbers and people saw how he controlled games. Paul as good as he is, doesn't appear to control the game the way Rondo does. That's all I'm saying. That's the playoffs eye test. 9 years and 0 trips to the conf finals.

c'mon.

And those numbers you posted about rondo are the same numbers cp3 put up this year more or less.

not to mention if cp3 played in the east, he'd be in the conf finals right now.

at a Wing Stop location.

***shrugs***

The big 3 was as important to rondo's playoff success as height was to shaq's.

You are making my points for me at this point.

You sound ridiculous.

and playing with the big 3.

Thanks for the assist. Cliff paul would be proud.

your snark attempts.

you've already messed up twice in this back and forth.

You losing at about 3 diff points in this entire post with diff posters. Just tap out.

in reply to a convo about rondo putting up 17 and 10. you hustlin backwards.

Like the rondo side had effectively moved beyond his 10 ppg and you said no, lets go back lol.

Rondo - NBA Champion
Rondo - has repeatedly balled out in the playoffs
Rondo - 2 NBA Finals
Rondo - repeated Knicks sonner
Rondo - 3x's in Conf Finals
Rondo - ain't saving Melo

****treat thus like one of them choose your adventure books****

Which path do you want to go down? Cuz my guy has his stripes.

NO EXCUSES

His legacy suffers greatly due to his lack of playoff success. IJS.

Top 5 Tony has the overall crown and it's pretty clear after scooting D. ILLard to the side

you mean Patty Mills, Top 5 barely played in the deciding game, with the Spurs its the system

year. reg season and playoffs.

I'd still go cp3.

Parker on a team where he can play 30 mins and still win 60 games c'mon.

you can say he's not a true PG, but that's just being mad. Wessy and T5T are at least equals to CP3.

>Yup, and Wessy been to three conference finals before age 25

CP3 is one of the best PGs in the league, but his strongest supporters have always acted like it's an insult for anyone else to be in the convo, because advanced metrics omg.

but after watching him come up short AGAIN in the playoffs, and watching Russy outplay him AGAIN, CP3 is no better than a tri-king with Wessy and T5T. There's absolutely no way we can continue to hold this guy in a class by himself above other PGs.

He's never NOT played with the 2nd best player in the league. Russy has never LEAD a team.

Switch Russ and CP3, you honestly believe the Clipps beat the Thunder?



But fuck context, right?

and CP3 still got his ass handed to him, directly, by Russy this series.

honestly, if you switch CP3 and Russy, this series ends up exactly the same.

>honestly, if you switch CP3 and Russy, this series ends up
>exactly the same.


Glad we agree that Russ gets a pass because he plays with the world's 2nd best player and has never had the burden of leading a team.

Cool beans.

there's absolutely no reason to keep thinking CP3 is on a different tier than other PGs. if he was the dude--if he was in the durant/lebron class--the clippers had more than enough to beat the thunder. they didn't, because he's not that dude.

plus, way to Cuban B Russy outplaying him this series.

as far as i'm aware.

and for as much 'love' as russy is getting right now, people were complaining about his play this series and saying how they'd be better wit rondo lol.

OKC would be so much better with cp3... its not even a realistic debate.

because he was LACED this year. HOF coach, better than what Russy has. Blake and Deandre coming into their own. If Chris Paul is the dude you all say he is, he had more than enough support to win this series.

And he lost. them. the. series.

And Russy. out. played. him.

durant.

would russy be out the 2nd round if he never played with durant?

we don't...no.

you talking this russy talk after a game where durant had 39, 16 and 5 and russy shot <30% lol

>OKC has a better supporting cast than the clips bc they have Durant.
>
>would russy be out the 2nd round if he never played with

>
>we don't...no.
Say CP3 and Westbrook are a wash, just for argument sake
As great as Durant is, the Clippers are a better team top to bottom

The Clippers have more of a supporting cast than the Thunder. CP3 just failed

And I LOVE CP3...but it's his turn in the oven...set cooking instructions to ROAST

>you talking this russy talk after a game where durant had 39,
>16 and 5 and russy shot <30% lol
I never said Westbrook was better...lol

players. Nobody cares if the clips 12th man is better okc's. They both on the bench.

Durant is light years better than griffin and that makes russy's cast better.

>Whats top to bottom in the playoffs? The playoffs boil down to your >best players. Nobody cares if the clips 12th man is better okc's.
>They both on the bench.
>
>Durant is light years better than griffin and that makes
>russy's cast better.
The team is MORE than Durant and Westbrook though. Just because Durant is the best player on both teams bar none doesn't mean they wouldn't need significant help from the other guys on the team. Outside of Ibaka, that team isn't nothing special

And Blake Griffin is LIGHT YEARS better than the rest of the Thunder. Jamal Crawford is BETTER than the rest of the Thunder
DeAndre Jordan is BETTER than every big on the Thunder
Reggie Jax and Darren Collison is a wash

You can't just say because Durant is on the team that makes the Thunder a better supporting cast. If that's the case, then they SHOULD make the Finals because Westbrook's supporting cast is better than San Antonio's...and Durant is LIGHT YEARS better than everyone on the team...is that the stance?

<The team is MORE than Durant and Westbrook though. Just because Durant is the best player on both teams bar none doesn't mean they wouldn't need significant help from the other guys on the team. Outside of Ibaka, that team isn't nothing special

They have arguably the best 1-2 in the league and a near all star in ibaka. They will be a contender no matter what else you put around them...just like miami's big 3(assuming wade has a smidgen of health)

>And Blake Griffin is LIGHT YEARS better than the rest of the Thunder. Jamal Crawford is BETTER than the rest of the Thunder
DeAndre Jordan is BETTER than every big on the Thunder
Reggie Jax and Darren Collison is a wash

Like i said 4-12 isnt that important. You ask anyone if they'd rather have the better 1-3 or 4-12 they gonna choose the 1-3. Are we really having this convo?


>You can't just say because Durant is on the team that makes the Thunder a better supporting cast. If that's the case, then they SHOULD make the Finals because Westbrook's supporting cast is better than San Antonio's...and Durant is LIGHT YEARS better than everyone on the team...is that the stance?

Yeah, they should...except now they are going against the best coach in the league who'd make this a series without his best players anyway lol. But just looking at the rosters, OKC has a better team without question.

> lol outside of their 3 best players they don't need to be special lol
<The team is MORE than Durant and Westbrook though. Just

So having Durant makes them THAT much better than the Clippers, who ALSO have 2 all-stars? And from 3-12 are BETTER?

>Thunder. Jamal Crawford is BETTER than the rest of the
>Thunder

>Are we really having this convo?
If you have a dominant 1-3 and no supporting cast, you're bound to lose. Even Miami needed someone to have as a #4 (Ray Allen). Boston had their #4 with Rondo

To say that all you need is a Big 3 and that's it is just false. And CP3's big 3 should be enough to beat Westbrook and Durant. They had 2 games in the bag and choked

If there's a doubt that OKC should win because they're going up against the best coach in the league, is Doc Rivers arguably the 2nd best coach in the league? Isn't he not LIGHT YEARS better coach than Brooks? So OKC should win this series based on your above logic, that Durant/Westbrook/Ibaka is LIGHT YEARS better than Parker/Manu/Duncan...regardless of the coach (they beat Doc Rivers)

That would be a circus beyond circuses. Griffin and Jordan would look like buffoons on offense. Not trying to slam them, but at this point in their careers, they need someone like CP3 that will facilitate them on offense.

Griffin came in third in the MVP because he held it down when CP3 was not playing. They run the offense more through him now than CP3.

> They run the offense more through him now than CP3.

bc we see what happens when okc runs the offense through durant.

That was like 20 games. He's good and getting better all the time, but he's not carrying a team at this point. It's still Chris Paul's offense.

one of several plea cops I've heard thus far

Should be able to get rid of that baby fat by 30 Y.O.

Russy ran circles around him in game 5

CP3 looked like he was running on fumes

and IMO, he gave up

I don't think he has the fitness to get past the 2nd round

he needs to get on that Bron workout plan.

As nice as he is now, imagine if he actually dropped the fat & got fit

I laugh when I see him consistently listed at 180lbs, he hasn't been that since Wake Forest.

don't be mad MLS is hiring

*shrug*

Lost to the better team. We frying dudes for not OVERachieving now?


Still better than Deron Batter. Still better than Ronda. And still making you mad.



- Former Senior Delegate for the CP3 Plea Party

the worst performance of his career in game 5

not being able to get a W in game 6 with Ibaka out

seed? okay

but when you look at the games

there should at least be a game 7

matched up against another top 5 PG

Russy looked better IMO

you'd know I'm SO FAR from mad.

I know how every episode ends just like Gilligan's Island bro.

okc lose they frying, russy, durant, presti and brooks.

Everyone can't win all the time lol

Just throwing that out there. Griffin is just about there, but as of right now, it's David West.

I like D-West, dude is an overachiever & a very good player but he NEVER even made a single All-NBA team (1st, 2nd or 3rd) let alone being an MVP candidate like Blake. He was pick-n-pop player w/ a decent post-up game & was never a great defensive player, rebounder nor playmaker.....he was basically a smaller/less athletic version of LaMarcus Aldridge during his day w/ NOLA. Meanwhile Blake is an MVP candidate on the trajectory to becoming the next Karl Malone.

.

Not his fault his team aint championship caliber and got hurt by refs too.

let him feel the heat.

It shouldn't be a huge surprise that the Clippers as a team lost cause the Thunder are really good and the team as a whole won't probably won't feel too much heat (other than maybe Blake for getting neutralized by longer defenders again and when the game slowed down). CP3's numbers looked fine on the whole but what I'll remember from this series is that when his team needed him most in Game 5 and 6, CP3 had a bunch of crucial turnovers, couldn't slow down Westbrook a lick, or at least turn him over a few times, and didn't have that same energy that he usually brings. I mean he's still really good but it's hard to say he's leaps and bounds above the Parker's and Westbrook's of the world.

he's matched up against other elite point guards they usually get the better of him more often than not

He often looks like he wears down over the course of a series. He might need to take off 20 lbs. That's why I was saying I'd take a healthy Rondo in the playoffs over Paul.

a level above everybody else but playing against guys that are bigger/stronger and/or quicker and more athletic give him trouble and they eventually wear him down over the course of a series.

I mean clearly, a PF that was 3rd in MVP voting, a center that was 3rd in DPOY voting, one of the top 3pt shooters in the league at SG to spread the floor, plus 6th man of the year coming off them bench is really not enough.

shit sounds beautiful off the tongue

Oh well....Now all his flaws are front and center. He can't run from them now. He got all the help anyone could need. Now hopefully this is the time he really works on himself.

CP3 lost and should get roasted like every other superstar

But Rondo's babbage

Chris Paul plays about the same in the playoffs as in the regular season. Rondo appears to raise his game to a higher level in the playoffs. He just appears to play meaner and hungrier than Paul to me when it's all on the line.

The turnovers, the foul on Russy's 3. He missed some key shots he normally makes, too. Series turning point.

This loss is much worse than the 2006 series against the Suns.

Posters in High Griffinition.

Don't think-FEEEEEEEEEEEEEL! © Bruce Lee

Started printing em once playoffs started and We got a big stack left

So if the Clips do lose game 7, what's Chris Paul's legacy?

Because he's playing on a team that should and was/is in position to.

Early career - played with bums and suspect coaching, best teammate was David West
Start w/Clips - no bench, suspect coaching, main support were immature
Now - not much. The bench still isn't good, but it should be good enough.
