CP has come up short under pressure, but he's come through at big moments too. The same can be said about literally any great player in the NBA. Again the Clippers not being able to break through because of CP not coming through in the clutch or "Choking" is silly man.
Nonsense, I make love to pressure.
add the 3 when talkin about that dude damnit.

You agreed to the counterclaim so I was wondering if you had actual proof to why you agreed but I guess not.

They're elite at their roles. Only reason they haven't been favored in the playoffs is because they underachieved in the regular season. Not really a valid excuse.
CPCheeks all but single handedly lost that fiasco in Dallas with a clutch turnover followed by a clutch airball to give the Mavs the lead and seal the game

Which specific great players are you referring to?
Guys like LeBron, Dirk, Magic, Kobe all responded to playoff failures with titles.
That's a little different from Chris Paul hitting game winners in the first round, and I love the guy.

I can only provide a counterclaim when there is evidence to the main claim.

2011 First round Hornets vs Lakers. Series tied up 1-1. Game was 51-42 Lakers at the half (still a manageable game). A win for the Hornets at home would be huge.
How does Chris Paul respond in the second half? 4 points on 1/3 FG, 2/3 FT, 5AST 1REB, 1TO, Hornets proceed to lose by 14. 3 of those assists were early in the third, and after that, he completely disappeared. 1 point in the fourth quarter. Dude was Nowhere to be seen.
He sure kept his efficiency up tho. Finished the game with 22/8/5 on 9-13 shooting, 1-3 from 3. Gotta make sure them stats look pretty so that his PER, TS%, and whatever other advanced metrics look good.

Let's look at Game 7 against Golden State
Or his game 4 performance against the Spurs
Or his game 2 performance against Memphis
Or his 2nd half performance in Game 6 against The Spurs
Or his game 7 performance against Those Same Spurs
Or his 4th quarter game 4 performance against the Thunder
Or his game 1 against OKC.
We can play this game the other way too

Spearheaded by the great play of their leaders in late game situations.
Chris Paul shot 2-7 in the fourth quarter of game 6 vs. the Rockets BENCH.
LIterally threw game 5 away vs. OKC.
Everyone 1-12 has to do their job, we can point to instances where he hasn't.

How does that explain the 2011 Lebron like level of disappearance of CP3? Just one point in the fourth.
Pau was averaging 8 PPG in the series at that point. Kobe was Kobe, but his knees were shot that year. He guarded Paul for stetches ( most notably the majority of game 2) but for the second half, it was mostly Steve Blake and Derek Fisher. Bynum also mad a minor injury scare/bump that game and sat out a bit. Lakers were looking shaky. Perfect time for Paul to step up.
I just finished rewatching the game and was amazed CP3 wasn't more aggressive.

5 of the 8 west teams this year may not even win 50 games. That's wild.

Its a top heavy west that isnt very competitive come playoff time. Only 2 teams legit have a title chance in the West. No I dont want to make it sound like the East but lets not act like the
West is much different with a juggernaut at 1 seed and a powerhouse at the 2 seed.
