Sorry breh but I was never impressed with him wit the clippers.....he was overly ball dominant in the half court on a team the desperately needed to stay in transition. Part of the reason the clippers never had real success is partially due to chris Paul. Just my opinion breh :francis:

Because CP3 keeps slowing down the offense, and they end up struggling to score. Which is why Harden is taking it upon himself to push the pace. If you're watching the game, how can you not see this?

I don't really believe in the concept of making "teammates better" (it's a code word typically used for pass-first PGs), and I don't really believe CP3 makes his teammates better either (in this context). CP3 makes his teammates play in the style that is conducive to him controlling the ball on offense, and he sure as hell doesn't aid his teammates on defense. Plus if you paid attention to my original post, you would've seen I used the troll smilie to signify it was in jest -


Since when did you become such a CP3 apologist?

:mjpls:
Deandre Jordan owes every all-star appearance he's ever had to CP3 and JJ Reddikk had the best years of his career off of him too, sometimes people just make their teammates better and its not a synonym for :mjpls:

Chris Paul a bytch and a whole hoe when the playoffs come around, but its not his fault that the Rockets/Pringles system defaults to Harden Hoops when pressed by a great defense for the season opener.

I'm trying to figure out when you became such a fan of shoot first PGs with zero defense that ride off of coattails for the better parts of their career :jbhmm:

As long as Houston keeps running this high spread pick and roll either Harden or Chris is always going to be standing around doing nothing cause neither one of these dudes really WANT to be a spot up shooter...Chris is a really good one but we all know damn well dude didn't come to Houston to just stand at the 3 point line and wait for the ball every game...

Its only one game but yeah...it's looking like how anybody who understands high spread pick and roll said it would look like...
Dantoni is not that creative of a coach. He is actually pretty terrible. He can't teach defense. Has no real strategy defensively or offensively, and his offense is extremely predictable in the playofffs e.g. San Antonio Spurs blizkrieg last year

With CP3 and Harden now, you actually need a coach who runs plays that maximizes both of their skill sets.
