Chris Paul throws shade at LA Clippers after brutal loss vs. Golden State Warriors

Chris Paul reacts after LA Clippers’ collapse vs. Golden State Warriors

In a post highlighted via Joey Linn, Paul shared a funeral-themed meme shortly after the final buzzer.

The Clippers had just lost 126-121 to Golden State after blowing a double-digit fourth-quarter lead, with Steph Curry scoring 35 points and taking over late.

The nature of the defeat made Paul’s post stand out, with the timing suggesting it was directed at his former team.

Given his legacy with the franchise, the reaction carried more weight than a typical social media post.

The moment also ties back to how Paul’s time with the Clippers ended, particularly during his recent stint with the team.

Paul’s return did not play out as expected, with disagreements over role and direction leading to a split before the season fully settled.

That exit left clear tension between both sides, making any public reaction to the Clippers’ struggles more significant.

In that context, the post reads less like a passing comment and more like a reflection of a relationship that never fully recovered.

For the Clippers, the loss ended their season. For Paul, it was a moment that brought old tensions back into focus.
