I think thats less about Chris Paul coming or going and more about Leonard playing himself into game shape and staying healthy.

I’m just glad we don’t have to read all the posts about the Thunder potentially having the top pick due to the Clippers incompetence.

Since there have been a number of posts about this Chris Paul stat this week, I’ll hijack for a similar stat: The Blazers are now 14-6 since Tiago Splitter introduced The Box for defensive player of the game, and were 7-14 before that.

Which is the bigger story? Tiago’s Box or Chris’ negativity?

This gets posted every day

I knew they would start to win games they had way too much talent to have had the record they did to start the season

Fuck off with this nonsense narrative. They also lost like 5 straight right after Chris got cut. Theyre playing better because Kawhi is finally healthy ( for now) and playing like his old MVP level self again.

I mean there’s multiple reasons but:

Cp3 was an issue whether people here like him or not

Kawhi has been playing insane

Harden has played well

Lopez adjustment helps them

Young players like Sanders and Miller have stepped up

Their defense overall has been much better

Something something, correlation and causation, something something.

I don’t think its CP3’s fault, but I do think fair is fair. When they cut him while they were playing like shit there was no “Oh, well the big issue is Kawhi needing to stay healthy and play himself into shape”

It was thousands of upvotes and people jerking about how the Clippers are a shitty team who can’t accept any accountability which is why they were losing. Now that they’re streaking lets keep the same energy and be reactionary.

This can’t be good for CP3 who’s trying to sign or get traded to a new team

Ehhh.   Kind of an “eh ” stat 

They were bad for quite a while after being cut too.

They’ve been really good in January 

I think Kawhi just hates being told what to do

CP3 wasn’t the reason they were bad

Addition by subtraction

Vibes make a difference

Correlation does not imply causation

Shows you how important being a team player is. Getting rid of the team cancer uplifted everyone’s spirits and got them to play better.

hahahahah this subreddit is SO MAD about this, because everyone here was so convinced clippers were just a bunch of morons for cutting him. Yeah guys it was so unbelievable that cp3 couldve been a locker room cancer, right?

Dude was actually locker room cancer 😭

JVG was correct.

CP3 a cunty bitch.

I wonder who the cancer is in the Knicks locker room.

CP3 was a double agent for the Thunder confirmed

lol fuck that fraud

Come back baby. We could use a new coach for pop to mold

That’s impossible without the POINT GOD on the roster!

They were 5-16 when they sent him home, so going 15-7 is a massive improvement. Whether that’s because CP3 left or because they just started playing better is debatable, but the locker room was clearly toxic and something needed to change.

CP3 is an absolute legend

a legend at what exactly?.. punching people in the nuts or being a career long loser?.. or both?

I’m not saying they will, but IF the clippers win the chip this year would CP3 get a ring?

It takes time for a solid tree trunk to grow, everyone knows that.

In other news, Kawhi has been playing basketball at an elite level as of lately. But don’t let that distract you from recycled narratives!

If Clippers win a ring will they give CP3 one?

Hot take: I think the frat bros on that team, notably Harden, suddenly started trying a lot harder on defense just to disprove the widespread notion that Chris Paul wasn’t part of the problem who they didn’t like

Paul was a problem but the only problem. It does help that you don’t have to play with someone you’re annoyed with.

Thank goodness cause if this keeps up, OKC won’t get a lottery pick this season after all.

Clippers have been playing winning basketball. Kawhi has been great and Harden owns the 4th quarter with his ability to generate buckets on the ISO.

Was Chris Paul a Zazza all this time?

More importantly we don’t have to see 3 daily “OKC has the current #4 pick via LAC” posted here.

and don’t forget mentioning Utah’s pick that was never going to convey.

That’s actually absurd I was 1000% convinced they were gonna suck all season

Chris Paul – the modern-day Elgin Baylor.

That bad start was definitely odd. They seemed to be on the upswing late last season almost making it to the 2nd round. To go from that to abysmal was unexpected.

Still following the Clips closely, if they get away with paying Kawhi under the table league is going to be crazy next year, I expect Mark Walter to bring in all the stars to L.A again.

Kawhi was right, Chris Paul was left

Cute without the Chris, cut from the team

Not sure that it’s true to say no team has shown interest. I’m pretty sure the clippers are screwed with his contract and can’t move him

Ahhh…so the “point god” actually does influence clipper affairs! 

Who knew that his absence would have such positive effects! 

That’s because both Harden and Kawhi were out most of those games. Now they’re back and they are a playoff team again.

They weren’t 5-16 because of CP though.

Since everyone seems to think I’m implying causation

Come on now, you know exactly how you phrased the title

Also since they got Leonard back… But who is counting.

Can we ban these shit posts mods? My god take to r/nbacirclejerk

Chris Paul: “You realize you don’t own your own 1st round pick” Clippers: “Oh”

Thats almost entirely explained by the clippers being 9-3 in the year of the horse, which is clearly bringing good fortune for this squad.

crazy

Legacy points deducted?

fair

There was a loud irrational bunch of people shitting on Lou endlessly swearing he was the problem. People wanted him fired and insisted the losing was solely his fault….where yall at now? There was a lot of you and I’m sure some of you are in this thread lmao

I guess having no CP near you makes everything better extremely better?

Ain’t no way CP3 was a reason behind them playing bad. I can’t believe it .

Still ass

Hopefully the clippers learned their lesson and ship away bogdan somewhere else 

Just another reason to hate the clipper organization. They have their social media stooges out here shitting on the only guy who qualifies as a franchise legend. It’s psychopathic, they always scapegoat guys, be it doc, trez, blake, russ, PG….Ballmer might have more money than anyone, but it hasn’t bought an ounce of class.

Oh wow thats a big change. He definitely was a problem

With the huge 3 to cut the lead to 42

Bro this was because they discovered Lopez could stretch the floor and it unclogged the paint for Kawhi to start cooking again. Not because Oaul who wasn’t playing isn’t playing anymore

Alright bro

You’re giving CP3 FAR too much credit for the Clippers being ass to start the year lol

You’re a loser for blaming Chris Paul enjoy your play-in appearance lmao

Literally what does this have to do with Chris Paul who was not playing before or after he was cut?

Alternative facts. Kawhi also came back from injury ¹¹⁄₂₃. Chris Paul’s last game was ¹²⁄₁. I really don’t see a correlation to Chris Paul being at fault here.

He was a cancer and tried to tell Kawhi and JVG how to play better defense lol career loser man so happy he was sent home like a punk kid 

Pretty sure that’s not why as Paul is consistently on winning teams but still amusing

Why do Clippers fan hate Chris Paul so much. He’s the only reason you are even close to relevant
