    Harden had to have one of the greatest game ever in NBA history to overcome Playoff CP3

    Jeremy Lin was at least 10 times better than what Chris Paul was tonight

    A lot of rockets need to take a good hard look at themselves after that game, especially Chris Paul

    Don't worry at all, ok to get all the jitters out using the first round.

    That was a Lin-esque performance by CP3.

    He owes everyone a career night in Game 2.

    Had we shot our 3 normal, not even close.

    Sorry, Twolves were hitting prayers, getting driving calls we were NOT getting, over and over and over.

    Paul needs to wake up, his performance was horrible. Hes not alone, but my god.

    CP3 wow. I’m a big fan of his and believe he’s a GOAT.

    But wow, the way he played today reminded me of Durant’s character that lost the mojo in that movie Thunderstruck.

    Just inexplicable the decisions and lack of awareness all light long for CP3. Can’t blame THIS on injury or even fatigue. Hope it’s just an anomaly. He should bounce back to CP3 the rest of the playoffs

    OK. whew!
    Great game James and Bing Hwang.
    We only need 2 players to click every game and we're good. CP3 you're it next time.
