So unlikeable, last night. This ball club is truly detestable. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>At one point in second half, Blake got so mad at a Bill Kennedy call that he stared him down, then spit a huge loogie on the court...</p>— Bill Simmons (@BillSimmons) <a href="https://twitter.com/BillSimmons/status/593422072723804161">April 29, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> You can hear CP3's pathetic feminine shriek here as he was well defended by Green <iframe src='http://streamable.com/e/o67e' width='560' height='314' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen scrolling='no'></iframe> Ref wasn't allowing any of his whining and subsequent ball throw in anger.

Jason Kidd was the same freaking way. Guys like that are just super competitive. Let him whine and flop, he can't help himself. If we didn't have Harden, I'd take him in a heartbeat.
Matt Barnes did the spitting thing too the previous game. It was near the bench and nearly hit a fan. Some benchwarmer actually got a towel and cleaned it up to apologize.
Hiring Chris Paul basically tells TV viewers that State Farm will whine, cry and fight over every single customer claim when they arise.
Actually, given the prevalence of insurance fraud, I think they are sending a subliminal message: Don't try to cheat us. We know every trick. But in reality, the effect is the opposite. When ever people see the refs fall for Paul's trick, it reinforces that cheating pays.
But neither of those two were the best player on their team. Can't win nowadays with a short pass first PG as your best player.
What do you mean? They hired Chris's twin, Cliff. You're so dumb to think that it's Chris in the commercial.
Really? You must be trolling. This thread had a great discussion until you dropped this "stuff" in here. Don't generalize "black" or "athlete," and especially "black athlete." It's obviously offensive to those of us who have some African American heritage(not Black, by the way), and it doesn't even lend itself to a logical argument. It's a generalization that comes from your personal views and bias about competition, African Americans and your concept of one's "life." Not a good look.
Exaggerating contact with the ball when you drive and do get fouled is one thing. Falling down on defense or in loose ball situations (especially when the ball just doesn't bounce your way)is another....
