Hawks fans troll LA with ‘Where’s Chris Paul?’ he sings
The Los Angeles Clippers already feel the heat after surprisingly releasing veteran guard Chris Paul.
The Clippers visited Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena on Wednesday for their first game since cutting Paul. Hawks fans did not bypass opportunity for trolling The Clippers, chanting “Where’s Chris Paul?” during the game.
It was a bitter divorce for the 40-year-old Paul, who is in his final season, and the Clippers. The future Hall of Famer reunited with the team over the summer for his season, hoping to close out his storied career closer to his family.
But alas, his farewell tour lasted only 16 games. At least for now. It will be interesting to see if Paul is picked up by another team.
The Clippers did not disclose a clear reason for waiving the 12-time All-Star. Multiple reports, however, claimed that Paul was very critical of his teammates, coaches and front office amid the team’s miserable campaign.
Paul was getting limited playing time off the bench, spelling James Harden or Kris Dunn in the backcourt. He averaged 2.9 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 14.2 minutes.
The Clippers are 5-16 entering the game against the Hawks.
It’s the latest drama surrounding the franchise, which has been forever mired in various issues. Paul helped build a winning culture on the Clippers during his first stint, helping them to an impressive playoff run. But over the past few years, the Clippers have largely underperformed.
At the time of writing, they lead the Hawks, 55-41, at halftime.
