What is the biggest game Chris Paul has won?

Heat had an easier road, but that might only mwan they are more rested.

Sure, but in my opinion while watching the game - the Westbrook steal wasn't a foul. The Barnes play should have been a foul and losing possession would have been a terrible call. The Westbrook 3 was during a shot and Paul was definitely right under hist shooting arm coming up - incidental contact on someone's shooting arm isn't the same as incidental contact when someone's just dribbling around, so assuming the ref heard and saw contact maybe it was legit. They still had 6 seconds to score, and Paul wasn't strong enough with the ball if a tiny bit of contact made him lose it. It was just a weak play in general.

I didn't think there was anything too crazy about any of the calls minus yet again establishing how stupid the review process is and the refs surprisingly ignoring the video and awarding the ball to the team that actually deserved it for once.

Paul's stats are sick, he's the best point guard in the league. But OKC is really good - Spurs/Heat/Clips - any series involving those teams is finals-caliber. And that series of plays by Paul, even though it sucks and he's a great player, might have cost them the series. Not the calls. The plays were much, much worse than the calls.

Agree except for the out of bounds call which was just 100% wrong. I also think the discrepancy in how contact was called at opposite ends of the floor is a bigger deal than you give it credit for. If the same ref saw both plays but called one and not the other that's worse than any play Chris made save the Westbrook steal play. It's more likely that the refs just missed the contact on Chris's drive.

Still think its a stretch to say that cost them the series, but we're arguing semantics at this point.

I think the Spurs and OKC swept before they made it to the finals the last two years and MY HEAT had to play seven games in the ECF. would be nice if the tables were turned.

On the next episode of "The Bachelor: Losing Playoff Record Edition."

"I give this wilted, losing playoff record rose to...."

P.S. LBJ turned somebody over in the final possession last night to secure the game and series wins. Moving to a Conference Finals would be the high water mark of many careers; Lebron's not allowed to make Memorial Day plans. One can like Chris Paul---indeed, one can actively root for his current and future successes over and above any opponent---and take issue with the statement "There's no one else you'd rather have the ball in their hands late....and it's not even close." Uh....it's a heck of a lot closer than that. He's a great player with a giant donut hole in his resume.

Typical non-answer. How about these three players through their first 6 playoff seasons: none of them won championships. How close would you say they are:

Player A: 19.1 ppg, 9.0 apg, 4.4 rpg, PER: 25.0

Player B: 22.9 ppg, 7.2 apg, 7.1 rpg, PER: 24.1

Player C: 23.2 ppg, 5.8 apg, 6.9 rpg, PER: 26.4

And then who's closer in terms of performance through 6 playoff seasons:

A and C

or

C and Player D: 30.3 ppg, 5.7 apg, 5.7 rpg, PER: 29.7

Edit: Jmhd is clearly not going to answer. The four players mentioned above are Chris Paul, Oscar Robertson, Lebron James and Michael Jordan, in that order (used per 36 min averages). But yeah Chris Paul sucks in the playoffs.

OKC won in 6 in 2012.
 
The playoffs are so long. No complaints because the games, and storylines, are extremely entertaining. But I can imagine that these intense series, after an 82-game grind, would be tough to endure.

Hope CP3 has the physical and emotional reserves to rebound.

I will be pulling for the Spurs with every fiber of my being, but the Heat are toying with their opponents down the stretch. Swept the Horncats (meh), and made quick work of the only team that seemed to have their number during the regular season. The Heat are not afraid of the Pacers (witness their almost indifference in their concession of the regular season; trading rest for home court), so I think you're going to see a rested and rolling Heat team if the Spurs get that far. Tony Parker is a fine point guard, but he pulled a little bit of a disappearing act last year in the Finals after his early game heroics. I hope that the Heat aren't in the heads of the Spurs. All in all, I'm not sure I'm certain that a team's fate should be confidently entrusted to the sometimes schizo hands of Tony Parker, Manu and Danny Green.

He averaged 20 and 7 in games 4,5 and 6.

Danny Green kept them in that series. He wilted as well, but Game 1 Tony Parker never reappeared.

You are BDZ's definition of #DENSE come to life. Who needs box scores when we have subjective, terrible memories to recite feelings and whimsies!
 
Just to reiterate how #Donk this thread is:

The Clippers are outscoring the Thunder by 14.8 points per 100 possessions w/ Chris on the floor in this series

When Chris sits the Clippers are being outscored by 38.4 points per 100 possessions.

Even if you take out Game 1 those numbers are +8 and -24.
 
It appears we've found something jh knows less about than politics.
 
In his defense, how is supposed to feel these things if ESPN doesn't sear it into our brain 4 billion times? That Tony Parker miracle shot sure makes it feel like anything that came after in that series was wilting.

Game 5 Tony was better than Game 1 Tony.

26 and 5 on 71% shooting vs. 21 and 6 on 50% shooting.
