Chris Paul Trolls Clippers Following Season-Ending Loss to Warriors

Paul mocked his former team after a 13-point fourth-quarter lead vanished, as Stephen Curry scored 35 points in Golden State’s comeback win.

  • On Wednesday, April 15, the Los Angeles Clippers lost 126-121 to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Play-In Tournament, and shortly after, Chris Paul posted a meme on his Instagram story appearing to celebrate the team's elimination.
  • The organization abruptly sent Paul home in early December following a dismal 5-16 start; reports indicated his leadership style clashed with head coach Tyronn Lue, leading to his trade to the Toronto Raptors and retirement.
  • Leading for roughly 85 percent of the game, Los Angeles blew a 13-point fourth-quarter lead before Stephen Curry and Al Horford secured the comeback, prompting Paul to share a viral meme captioned "stopped by my biggest hater's funeral."
  • Without their 2026 first-round selection owed to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Clippers face further complications as the NBA investigates the franchise regarding Kawhi Leonard's availability this season.
  • Paul, who ranks second all-time with 12,552 career assists, told People in December he was "actually at peace with everything," and has since spent time golfing and attending the Masters for the first time.
