The Los Angeles Clippers blow a 3-1 series lead and continue their 50 year streak of not making the Western Conference Finals
- Thread starter Metanoia Prime
- Start date
Can't blame Kawhi for leaving. A lot of people in Toronto and news broadcast stations were stalking him around (most likely casual bandwagon fans), plus I'm sure he just wanted to be back home.
It's true, Raptors could've made a further run with him, but I also think we could've made a further run with Jonas Valanciunas instead of Marc Gasol. Or if Nick Nurse used some of his bench players, or if etc..
Anyways, Doc Rivers has finally been exposed. Poor guy is going to be a commentator now, I don't think I could take listening to his voice though

Didn't watch this series. How was this a bigger choke than the Warriors losing to the Cavs after being up 3-1?
What's the background story with Dame?

It wasn't. The Warriors choke was definitely worse than this simply because that was the finals whereas this was the Semifinals. The Warriors were also coming off that legendary regular season where they surpassed the Bulls in terms of regular season wins.
This is definitely up there as one of the biggest chokes though.
Clippers being Clippers. The 50 year old WCF virgins.
That being said...I want a Heat v Nuggets match up SO bad.

I was confused cause people in this thread and the NBA OT were calling it the biggest choke in NBA history.
You hate to see it. Lmao
It's not. Golden State blowing a 3-1 lead in the finals after having the best regular reason and unanimous MVP is greatest choke of all time
My problem with that is every team is playing in the same bubble. If anything that makes it a leveled playing field.
Like pound for pound, that Golden State choke is not going to be topped because leading up to it there was nonstop talk about that team being "The Greatest of All Time", no exaggeration
And then after that you got the 2011 Heatles flaming out against the Mavs.
So maybe this Clippers team comes in third? lol

People live in the moment lol.
The Clippers are filled with flaws from top to bottom, due to Kawhi's incredible playoff run last year, people just seem to ignored it.
Doc Rivers is an overrated coach who's living on his 2008 title, he's underachieved ever since. Our second best player Paul George since 2017 is been known as a playoff under performer. Lou Williams and Harrell might be our 3rd and 4th guys and they play 0 defence.
I didn't watch much of the Clippers games this year, but they showed me who they were a little bit in their matchup against the Mavericks. Played with no urgency the entire series, except for one game, and they had the deal with Paul George.
I thought Harrel would give them something defensively, and I was wrong there. Dude plays no defense, same with Lou... their 3rd and 4th best players.

Just don't compare him to LeBron ever again, who has won every playoffs that he has been in.
I love LeBron to death and I think he's a top 3 player ever, but he hasn't won every playoffs he's been in. That doesn't devalue his excellence for me, but the point isn't true.
Wait, this was sarcasm, wasn't it? lol
I feel for Clippers fans.
My city's baseball team (finnish baseball) has won the national championship in 1976 the last time.
This saturday we will play in finals again, a chance to take the championship after 44 years.
We've had many chances since 2008, but no win in the last game yet.
Somehow I'm already conditioned to lose but I'd go crazy if we win.

Yeah, just poking the people who think this means LeBron is automatically the best now. :P
I thought the former Spur was going to lead them to the promised land...oh right, he has Paul George. Nvm.
Should have stayed in Toronto one year and tried to run it back.
Lakers fans at least live in LA where players want to play. Kawhi was holding the Raps hostage too and we had to sign nobodies to fill our roster. Shit sucked.

Seriously. This was the Clippers' shot at history. And he scores 2 points in the second half. 😂 😂
I like Kawhai and hes a great player but the level of hyperbole around him this season was absurd
People seriously saying he was a "Jordan-like" closer after he managed to hit a lucky one in a million miracle shot.(Not to discount that his playoff run last year wasnt great or anything).

Skip needs to man-up and not look so depressed. Shit ain't leader material.
lmao I was unaware of Kawhi commercials. So this is similar to a Lonzo Ball situation, where the fans, media, and team were talking more shit than the actual player?
I am also in disbelief that Clippers gave up so much for Paul George.
Butler is the player that everyone else wants to believe PG is, and that's with acknowledging PG is the more talented player.
Did Golden State go up in each of the final 3 games by double digits and still lose? Kawhi and George combined for 0 points in the 4th quarter of their game 7 loss. Kawhi also scored just 2 points the entire half during last night's loss. That's a choke job of epic proportions.
It's one thing to lose a series after being up 3-1, but what the Clippers did and how they lost, that shit is legendary.
If it helps, the Claw could take solace on the fact that he at least scored 2 points in the second half of his Game 7 defeat. Wilt Chamberlain did not made any . . . . because he did not take a single shot in the second half of his Game 7 defeat in 1968 which made his team the first NBA team to blow a 3-1 lead in the Playoffs.
yes when 4th place was only 2 games ahead of 9th, and when he came back they still did poorly
