    I have to add, people talking about this being the Clippers city now, they're so much better than us, blah blah blah. What's it gotten them? Bunch of 1st round exits and one 2nd round trip. Balmer paid 2 bil for this, LOL, blow it up!

    No chance Doc gets canned. Ballmer loves him.

    I think Doc loses one of his positions of both GM and Head Coach. As for Blake and CP3, I think both will take a long look elsewhere with potentially both leaving.

    I'm nearly positive Griffin leaves.

    I think there's a dark horse chance Paul leaves.

    If Paul leaves you can bet Doc is done too. He won't be fired, he'll just quit. No need to keep going during a rebuild around DeAndre freaking Jordan.

    CP# has been here 10 years now. I'm can't find find another super star/holfer that hasn't made it it the 3rd roud. Even KG in 04, Dirk in 03 and 06, PP in 02. Melo in 09. You're talking TMac and Yao. Grant Hill too, but he was out most of the time.

    However, Paul in closeout games 21 ppg, 5 rpg, 10 apg and 2 spg and been shooting 50% or better. I'm not sure what else he can do. He's a very good defender too.

    The great ones find a way, and Paul's game was mediocre, 13, 9, 4, 6-19 shooting. The great ones don't lose to this Utah team with IMO a slightly inferior roster, that was missing Gobert for what, 2 or 3 games, and Hayward for 1. No excuse for getting torn up by a 36 year old Joe Johnson because they were missing 1 of their 3 All-Stars. Also, Doc is an overrated coach. Plays his crappy son 38 mins in a closeout game, Brandon Bass doesn't play, etc..

    They were done in somewhat by Joe Ingles...whom they cut in 2014. Such delicious irony.

    Yeah. Paul's game was very underwhelming. He's been carrying them the whole series. But, like I said in the 1st part, TMac, Yao, and Grant Hill* are the only 3 modern players than ever never at least got a CF. GP, Miller, Ray Allen, Kidd, Webber, DWill...even the players comparable to his tier have made at least once and at least that far.
