Chris Paul Must Be Great All-Around

Last but not least, Chris Paul must play like a super star on both ends of the court.

Without Griffin, Paul must be the primary scorer, get teammates involved, limit turnovers and keep tabs on the MVP Stephen Curry.

The reality is that this team will go only as far as Chris Paul will take them.

I believe going forward Paul must play out of this world to give this team a chance to even make the Western Conference Finals.

Paul has so much riding on his shoulders during this last stretch of the season. The Clippers might be too far from the No. 3 seed while on this two-game losing streak and Memphis is in fifth seed but they’re creeping up in the standings as well.

Therefore, this game is very important for the Clippers.

With a loss in Golden State and a Memphis Grizzles win, only three games will separate both teams.

And come playoff time the grind house is too much too handle for most teams, even without Marc Gasol.

That makes winning tonight that much more important.
