    We have no off ball movement, that's not making use of Paul's passing skill if everyone just ball watch.

    I'm a little cautious. His lack of aggressiveness is concerning.

    Chris Paul has so much drive and heart. U guys are haters. He's made it to the 2nd round a few times and that's all. True winner here.

    Chuck: ... Paul will not help them against Golden State. I just saw Chris stand in the corner watch James go 1 on 1. You won't beat them trying to outscore them.

    (more...)

    What do you see from the Rockets in the first 24 with Chris Paul?

    Shaq: Not much difference. Give a guy the ball, one on one, dribble, dribble, dribble, kick to a 3, still the same. Don't like it at all.

    Kenny: What Chris Paul brings won't be apparent on this team. Harden is a great player. (Chris') Value he has, I don't see how it helps this Rockets team.

    Shaq: Both need the ball.

    Chuck: Great player, doesn't fit into this system. He's not a great standard jump shooter, which he'll be watching James play one on four.

    Now, there have been some downright stupid and laughable threads in my years on Clutchfans.

    This seriously takes the cake.

    Tinman rejoices that his numerous any-player-turned-into-a-subtle-tmac-hate-thread threads get pushed down the queue.

    Chris Paul needs to run the offense more. Our offense still stagnant and not much ball movement. We won’t win like this.

    1st game of the season, on the road, against defending champs.

    Can't read anything from this, frankly.

    Im going to assume thats because of the same bruised left knee that kept him out of those preseason games unless he continues to look unaggressive for the next month or so

    If Chris Paul can't even show a mild amount of aggressive play in the 1st game against the defending champs......

    I see why Harden is running offense. CP3 is hobbling is way up and down the floor. Can't use this game as a sample of what the fit will be.

    Look, CP3 is an elite talent.

    GSW are a well oiled machine.

    I see a lot of potential with CP3 running the squad with JH on the bench. I'll give it 20-25 games for the chemistry of all the new pieces and rotations to click.

    The true test lies in May & June. Not in this October. Any other opinion is disingenuous.

    It's sad. Clutchfans panic so easily.

    The thing that worries me isn't how CP3 is playing... it's the fact that he has gotten zero wide open shots from Harden controlling the ball. Like, not a single one.
