Doc isn't the problem, it's that there relying on Reddick to be the 3rd option. |

Doc is the problem. If you watch Clippers games (yuck I know) you will see that they don't play for each other and are selfish. That's on Doc |

The Clippers are the first team in NBA history to blow a series lead in five straight postseasons.

Several Clippers teammates came over to console Chris by rubbing his back and giving him kisses on the neck. Very touching scene. |
Awww...sounds like someone needs a banana boat ride. LBJ holding up vacation plans again.

Are you sure? I read somewhere that CP3 can sign for like $50 million/per. After their 5 straight playoff failures, surely Ballmer wouldn't pay him that kind of money, right? |

We all knew no good would come from disrespecting another teams success like that....  |
Clippers should have put up that division banner when they had the chance. Now they still have nothing up in the rafters besides some pointless photos of their players to show any success in their entire history. |

I don't get the hate on CP3 tbh. At 31 he just put up 25/9.9/5 on 49% from the field and 36.8% from three
He essentially did everything he could to get this team the win.
Never had a problem with CP3 regardless of he's a Clipper, don't forget why he's a Clipper.
As I've always said, Stern didn't just rob Kobe of rings with the veto, he robbed CP3 of rings and his legacy.
Imagine if Kobe and CP3 had won 2 rings together, CP3's entire legacy is changed with 2 rings to his name, and Kobe would retire with 7 rings and likely never have torn his Achilles.
CP3 got robbed of rings too by that veto and he did pretty much all he could to get the Clippers over the hump so yeah. But Clippers are gonna Clip, they got an unreliable second option and their 3rd option refuses to improve his free throw shooting. The league passed them by.
That blown series against the Rockets, I remember when it turned, when the Rockets fouled Blake hard and he suddenly didn't want to take it to the basket anymore and played scared and proceeded to get lit up by Josh Smith....
They keep rolling with Griffin as the 2nd best player on their team and the same stuff happens.
Least it's hopefully done now and both CP3 and Griffin can move on. Hope Griffin commits to the Thunder early so CP3 can go to the Spurs.

| Wonder if CP3 wishes that Lakers trade went through his career trajectory *might* be different we'll never know though. |

In todays NBA thats a tough choice.... as much as I hate the Clippers they should probably keep CP3 & Jordan bring in some dudes and keep going.
If they don't then yes blow it up and move....but blowing it up would be a long rebuild process. Is it worth it to the owner? |

Only if Doc leaves. If not, they will give it one more go.

The guy has billions, paying CP won't bother him. He likes all the guys and has said he will pay what it takes to keep them.

Wouldn't mind poaching JJ, especially if they want the cap room to chase a Melo/whoever. |

JJ should be fine as a 3rd option. I mean, they just lost to the Jazz whose 3rd option is.... George Hill? |

No hate on CP3, he was the NBA best PG for years and is still a hell of a player, it just happens that he play for LA Floppers.
