    Well, to be fair this is two straight years where he has played an elite defensive point guard.

    From the opening of game 1, he's looked like he's pressing faster than he needs to and keeps rushing into bad spots on the floor, making bad decisions, and taking shitty shots.

    I tried telling you guys. He's a great leader but just not really that steady with his game. To feast or famine

    Really since the big games he had back in Feb he's been really off for a long time


    This is his 3rd straight series where's he's underwhelming

    I still find it funny how some fans thought the Clippers where the preferred opponent for the playoffs.

    My preferred opponent was the 4th pick.

    I'm not even trying to be negative, I feel like I'm being real when I say I don't see (outside of actually making some shots) what could change in the next few games to make this better. We are not built to deal with this game plan but they better figure it out or make some applicable changes before next year because teams are taking note of this game plan and how effective it is

    And the Clippers were the worst top 4 team, we'll be lucky to win a game here.

    But even losing in the playoffs is better then the 14th pick which doesn't have a great track record of even turning out a rotation NBA player and we now have our pick back and that isn't hanging over our heads.

    He'd need to go 2-12 the rest of the way.

    And CJ trying to do it too. Both have been bad.

    Chris Paul isn't blocking his shots at the rim.

    I dont' think you would find one person that would argue they wanted the playoffs over the 4th pick but we are talking the 14th pick not the 4th.
