And FTR Russ is now averaging 27 8 & 7 in these playoffs and has carried this team for very important stretches throughout, the convo about he isn't valuable in OKC needs to STOP.

Admittedly he takes stupid shots and IMO that comes due to a lack of coaching and accountability, but his positives>negatives... you can't teach that kind of dominance and determination, he's really reminds me of a young Kobe the difference is their is no Phil to calm him down & the other Superstar on his team won't DEMAND that he gives up the rock.
Best PG in the league.

Wall is up next as soon as he gets a reliable 16 footer
 
The call was wrong. The call that was called on the court was not the same call everyone tries to explain in the rule book. Clippers got robbed son.. I'm not a fan of NONE of these teams btw
 
I have NEVER seen a player who attempts a 3 BEHIND halfcourt get a foul called in the act of shooting....never.

Didn't watch the last OKC series huh?

it happened as recently as game 4 of this series. :rolleyes

And Cp3 has pulled the jump up to shoot as the defender is about to intentional foul me and get 3 fts instead of 2 move successfully before, did it against the Spurs and Manu before.

The CP3 foul on Russ's 3 was obvious as day though, y'all really arguing that one? Dumb shot or not, he fouled him.

Ol "My starting five never lost in the playoffs" crying ***.

I don't think we're allowed to say anything bad about Doc. Laker fans will come gunnin for us. Doc is their hero. :lol

Nah man, I'm with you guys.
Docs a good coach but he deserves slander when he's acting like a clown.

His crying is very clownish. Also fits the clipper team very well.

If CP3 or Blake get hurt in game 6, you know Doc gonna be like "This starting 5 has never lost a playoff series" :lol
Doc knows this series is over, thats why he was crying.

Take a good look at Chris Paul's face. Have you ever in your life seen a more distraught person? This is the face of a man who ****** up big time, and is painfully aware of just how badly he ****** up.
 
A quick recap of Chris Paul's performance in the last 49 seconds of Game 5:
  • Hits a 17-foot jumper that makes the score 104-97, sticking what appeared to be a giant dagger into the chest of the Thunder.
  • With 13 seconds left and his team up by two, Paul anticipates the intentional foul from Russell Westbrook in the backcourt, but for some reason—for some goddamn reason—decides to leap into the air and try to bait Westbrook into a shooting foul. Westbrook promptly strips him and dishes it to Reggie Jackson, who has the ball (maybe) knocked out of bounds by Matt Barnes.
  • After the ensuing inbounds pass, Westbrook shoots a contested three over Paul, who fouls him. Westbrook sinks all three free throws.
  • Now down by one with six seconds remaining, Paul probes his way into the lane, looking for space to get off a potential game-winner. He loses the handle, and Serge Ibaka grabs the loose ball. Game over.
 
That is just an absolutely brutal sequence of basketball for one player to endure, let alone one who has played so brilliantly throughout this series. After the game, Paul called those last 49 seconds the "Toughest thing I've ever been through, basketballwise."

It's almost always dumb to blame a loss on one single player, but it's also very rare to see one guy cram so much failure into such a short period of time. Chris Paul (almost) singlehandedly took his team from up seven with 49 seconds to play to down one with two big fat zeroes showing on the clock. It's fair to question the foul call on Westbrook's three, or the out-of-bounds call on Barnes, but none of those things happen if Paul just accepts the intentional foul on the previous possession instead of trying steal three free throws in the backcourt.

Paul now finds himself in a bit of a rare position. He is once again on the verge of not making it out of the second round of the playoffs, but in the past that recurring feat that has been forgiven due to his being saddled with sub-par teammates and coaches. But this Clippers team is the best he's ever been on, and if they can't pull out two more games against the Thunder, everyone is going to remember Paul's failings from last night, and they won't be wrong to do so.


I know @Big J 33

We'll just have to agree to disagree but I can't say a team was robbed when down 1 with possession and they turn the ball over. Refs had nothing to do with that or the collapse.
 
The rule was not disciplined during the game. Refs told doc the replay was inconclusive. Which is bull.. The ball went off of Reggie.. I don't wanna heat foul on Barnes because the refs didn't call it.. basically the refs changed the call by default
 
And for the people talking about the "rule", why did the red say the evidence showed the ball going off Barnes? He didn't say anything about the "rule". At the end of the day, he clearly said the ball was off of a Clipper.
