What was the point of trading for CP3 again? Eric Gordon plays off of Harden much better than dribble-dribble. :manny:

They thought Melo would be coming with him; I don’t think Morrey bothers trading for CP3 all by himself if he knew Melo would wind up in OKC instead. Especially since he now has to play the “Max him or not” game with an injury prone PG on the wrong side of 30 after this season.

Team looks better when PG decides to be aggressive with his offense & not just drift around firing 3s or tough midrange jumpers whenever he touches it. Helps the team get to the line more & opens stuff up for guys like Abrines & Patterson. Donovan needs to figure out who between him & Melo who runs primarily with the second unit now.

Russy finally hitting his FTs again :blessed:

OKC are going to be really great but y'all reading too much into their last couple of games.

They played the Clippers on a B2B who were without 3 starters.
They played the Mavs on a B2B who are the worst team in the NBA.

Looks like there has been some Simmons slander. @Poitier must be behind this.

On the real though he has some legit warts. I think he'll still be a multi-time allstar but you can just watch him and see there is a legit ceiling that he'll never break because the jumper will probably never come.

Y'all talk about harden disappearing in the postseason. Nobody ever talks about his teammatess dissapearing in the postseason. Sweet Lou and Gordon went camping during that San Antonio series. Nobody could hit threes. Having another creator/facilitator in the posts a son is why we traded for him. Capella was a dear in highlights in that series against the Spurs once Nene went down. CP3 goin pay huge dividends in the postseason.

Here's a hot take for y'all. Clint Capela's been the best 5 in the West this season & should be an All-Star. :hubie:

Unlike Noel's bum ass he's actually significantly elevated his play in a contract year. His touch around the rim has significantly improved, he's shooting 70% from the line, he's become a monster on the boards, he's an elite rim protector now, his conditioning is much improved, he's stronger/bulkier which has led better post D & he actually outplays many of these bigs considered better than him this year. :sas2:

Eric Gordon lowkey being a Top 3 SG is a debate for another day. :ohlawd:
