yea his whole approach to the basket and the fact that the refs arent going to call anything on him makes it almost impossible to guard him well

he bangs into you, carries the ball, and if you do anything to step up and hold your ground theyre gonna call blocking and you lose the game anyway

Don't forget the part where he'll inevitably flop if he thinks he can't make it.

The push off is what gets me. Allen would have stuffed the shite out of that had Paul not thrown that left arm at him.

Watch Blake Griffin hold Darrell Arthur out of the way.

Oh stop bitching. They wouldn't call that on any player in the nba on a potential game winning possession. The officiating was fine. The play that led to Arthur's breakaway dunk could've easily been called a foul with griffin flopping around and the refs held their whistles. You've gotta make him go left there. Or double and make billups or Crawford hit a three

He pushed off about 3 times. Even the guys on TNT afterwards just said so.

They couldn't, if they weren't gonna trap Paul.

Gotta give Paul credit for being smart enough to force his way to the rim and not settle for a jumpshot, like guys love to do in that spot.

He was gonna get a foul call, worst case scenario

Sometimes the NBA reminds me of the WWE.

They also said Allen fouled him too, nice of you to casually leave that part out. So glad I have no rooting interest here, y'all can't even enjoy a game.

I am so confused on what to think of Lionel Hollins. He has taken us to levels we have never seen as a franchise, but at the same time he makes some of the most confusing decisions I have ever seen. I think I now know kind of what it feels like an LSU fan with Les Miles. He seems like a great coach, but at some times you think what the hell is he thinking. As Shaq pointed out I think the Clippers have run the same play the last 2 years every time at the end of close games against the Grizz the last couple of years and they still let CP3 do what he does. MAKE SOMEONE ELSE BEAT YOU.

You defend it by making him go left and hoping he misses or you double him. Or if they play the heat you put Lebron him. And the WWE...really? The refs werent bad at all. They aren't gonna call a fricking push off on a game winning drive. Just like they wouldn't call a reach. It just won't happen. Doesn't matter which team

I have no routing interest either. In fact, I'd much rather play the Clippers as a Thunder fan. But that was a ridiculously blatant push off.

Paul still made an incredible shot for a guy his size though.
