DUnfortunately for him, the bitter feeling is not new. For the second consecutive year, Chris Paul is eliminated with his team in the NBA Playoffs conjugating the word disappointment in his attempt to win the NBA ring and throwing away a 2-0 series lead.
And for the second consecutive year, CP3 has had to go to the press room after the debacle to confirm that you have no withdrawal plansNonetheless.
“You try to do your best and you don’t win, and every time you lose they’ll say you missed your best chance,” Paul said after the seventh-round loss (90-123) to the Mavs. “But I think that me, us, we will have another opportunity next year.”
And then I sentenced: “I’m not retiring tomorrow. Thank God I’m healthy and keep playing“.
Es quite inexplicable what has happened with ‘Point God’. In the first two games, won by the Suns, Paul averaged 23.5 points, including 14 points in the fourth act of the second, with only two losses. In the next five crashes, the point guard stayed at 9.4 points and 3.6 losses on average, and the team lost four of those five games, in a similar thud to last year in the finals. The difference between the first two games of the series and the next five is that Paul turned 37. His collapse was that of the Suns.
In the seventh game, his lack of influence on the team was exaggerated. I finished with 10 points and 4 assists, but his first basket he did not arrive until the third quarter, when his team trailed by almost 40.
The best coach in the regular league, Monty Williams, tried to take the blame for what happened. But Paul did not hide in the coach’s defense of him: “We went out to play and we didn’t do enough“, said CP3. “I know that Mont has said that he is the main person in charge, but the person in charge is me, the base, the leader of the team”.
Chris Paul lived a nightmare that led him to wear the worst +/- of his entire sports career in the NBA. With the point guard on the court for 31 minutes, the Suns lost by 39. And his black beast that are the seventh games, continues to grow. Paul is 3-5 in his career, but has lost the last four in a row.
“Right now everything is very blurry. The season has ended and it has ended in a very abrupt way”, finished the point guard who has a lot to think about this summer.
