The Importance Of Chris Paul To The Los Angeles Clippers

Chris Paul’s injury has threatened the Clippers’ title hopes. How important is he to the their success?

The rivalry between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Golden State Warriors has come to a head over the past few seasons due to both teams’ recent success. After Stephen Curry sprained his MCL Sunday night, the Clippers and their fans had some reason to believe that they could get past the Warriors in the second round of the playoffs, barring a comeback by the Portland Trailblazers.

However, it seems like the Clippers can’t catch a break. It feels like almost every season, the Clippers draw the short straw, whether that’s having to face some of the most elite teams in the NBA during the early rounds of the playoffs, or losing one of their star players to injury.
