    Teague always destroys Paul. It's a layup line for him.

    Hard to play defense when you have 5 fouls at the start of the 4th Q

    What's wrong is they kept calling foul.

    Everyone has been basically killed all night, the only player doing a good job to me was Clint, Towns didn't have that great game at all, Wiggins, Teague and Rose literally killed our guards.

    Let's not act like CP3 is of the Prigioni/Terry ilk. Paul is 32 and he's not even asked to playmake 100% of the time (a la Clippers CP3). Time has nothing to do with it, especially since CP3 should have more energy to put forth on defense.

    He was tentative
    The Refs had something to do with that

    He doesn’t get away with all the dirty things he use to do here in Houston. He also just looks slow.

    Defense:

    Playoff Chris Paul isn't as good as playoff Rondo or playoff Iguodala.

    Expectation is completely wrong.

    Assign Ryan, GG or JJ to guard Wiggins, Teague and Rose.

    It’s refreshing [r****ded] to compare CP to Iggy?

    But I’m not ball scientist, what do I know?


    It’s

    He really needs to clean up his diet. Harden and him are the fat bros.
