How much of that was because the facilitator of the offense aka CP3 couldn't run the play.
Chris is a choker, deal with it.

Doc definitely needs to give up the team president duties; not his strong suit. I would keep him as coach.
I would take Chris Paul as my PG any day of the week; anytime it goes a certain way, it's a fuckin' conspiracy or some star player chocked. Get over it. If you bet into a 20 percent situation, home/away, and predictably lost in a Game 7 spot, frickin' deal with it and just walk away. The role players carried the day today...Rockets had it, Clippers didn't. Reddick had 7 TO's for goodness sakes and he hardly handles the ball, yet it was all CP3's fault. Seriously. Barnes didn't even score and looked overwhelmed by the moment and missed his only open looks; a PG can only do so much but he can't will the role players to knock down shots.

Doc is a horrible GM; esp when combined with HC duties. That is the root of the Clippers problem. Anyone that thinks the root of the Clippers problems is their PG is just plain nuts (or just lost a bet on the Clippers).

I'm not sure anyone thinks CP3 is the root of the Clippers problem (maybe one or two do). It has to mean something that his teams routinely underperform in the playoffs. That's not to say he's the root of the problem though.
Doc is a horrible GM, that's for certain. Honestly though, he's not a really good HC either. He's just not a good X's and O's coach...he's liked by his players, and seemingly gets them to play for him...but he fails miserably in the execution of the game of basketball as a coach.

I take it that's a shot at me.
Rockets won fair and square. Not once did I blame CP3 for my loss, just pointing out that he fails in the big game consistently.
It's always questionable betting the road team in a Game 7, I know but there were other situations at work.
The last time a home dog won and covered a playoff game after winning their previous 2 straight playoff games as a dog was in 2003, prior to today they had lost 11 straight times.
Like I said in my thread, I made a bad read.
Judge CP3 how you will but he's running out of excuses, the Rockets were down 2 starters and one of them was their starting PG. Numerous times tonight Chris got punked by a 50 year-old Argentinian back-up.
If I want to win a 'ship, I'm not taking CP3. Good regular season numbers only get you so far.

The origin of this thread pre-supposes CP3 as the root of the Clippers problems...at least that's how I read it as a CP3 supporter. Maybe I overreacted and hey DD, pretty sure I'm older than you or at least close to your age as I remember laughing heartily at that show you represent in your moniker. Sonny indeed lol.
Doc is good enough to get this team there as long as they get a real GM; I don't think his X's/O's are great either, but his team plays hard for him and respects him About all you can ask for in the league.

If I got personal, I guess it's because I'm a CP3 supporter. Didn't really mean to though...you post picks here and I don't. Just saying this doesn't all lie at CP3's feet. Clipper bench and role players leave a lot to be desired imo.

his teammates and coach suck ?
The clippers are a laughing stock of a franchise since its inception
Chris Paul played great today and it does not matter what his stat line says.
Guys like Reddick, Barnes and Austin Rivers are the ones who forgot to play basketball today.
If you are mad at Chris Paul for that loss today then you got some serious issues and obviously know very little about the game of basketball.

Exactly.
I'll say one more thing; the announcers kept saying that CP3 needed to get after Jason Terry on offense; well I thought he did to some degree, but even at this advanced age, JT is no joke. This 'Cat can still play. Yes, over the course of a regular season, he will wear down and disappear at times. In a 7-game series he is quite valuable as a still very athletic/energetic defender that plays with a lot of savvy. Laugh if you must, but despite only having 4 points today, Terry is a valuable player for the Rockets esp with their aforementioned injuries. He'd be the best player off the Clipper bench except for maybe Crawford imo.
Still think it is harsh to call CP3 a chocker. Cavs and Warriors final all but a lock imo.

Let's make it clear, no-one is blaming Chris Paul for the loss. He's a touted player. Sometimes your teammates are not going to produce, in that instance you put them on your back and carry them to the finish line. It's there in black and white that this guy fails in big games. He built the choker tag, it wasn't just given to him today. If you are the marquee player on your team and your team continually shits the bed when it matters, you have to wear a degree of responsibility.

Perennial choker. Period.
Just got schooled by a 50 year-old Prigioni in a Game 7.
So your first post says he is a Perennial choker. with an emphatic period.. then you ridicule him because a smart nba player (looking to prove everyone wrong) outplayed him over a few minutes....... this to me is you saying all the blame is on him......
Then here it says he has to wear a "degree" of responsibility...... and no one is blaming chris paul for the loss... what exactly are you doing in post 1???
So is he personal y a choker (as you mentioned in post 1) or has the teams he has been on choked? or does he have to wear a degree of responsibility ?
Confused ??

i have heard this statement from many of the "look at me's" on the 4 letter station and other places.....its an easy story,,, grab one guy who is th elader and will stand up for himself and blame him... end of story...
no one wants to dig into the real story of all those teams........ but lets just stick with this team vs the team that beat em.....
I think we have all agreed that doc sucks as a coach and sucks worse as a gm?
We also think mchale sucks as a coach as well.. he has a pretty good gm...
Mchale fell into a pile of dog shit in game 6 when harden was sick and sucked, the bench played great, hard and forced the clippers into bad decisions and yup the doc rivers coach/gm didnt know what to do....
now game 7.,,, catching lighting in a bottle with josh smith (bottle could easily blow up)turns an even matchup into a mismatch and when nchale has to go to the bench its mismatch again in rox favor... nothing mchale did, just dumb luck that fell into mchales lap in game 6 .. and lets try it for game 7.....and it was at home, with momentum and a deeper bench that was playing with lots of confidence.......
Not to many pg's that don't have a good supporting cast can carry a team for 2 - 7 game series.......
anyone name one or two?
