    This.... I'm very objective and will not be silent regardless of which team is getting away with what. Most y'all know this about me. I see real blatant fouls when Harden drives to the basket but Chris Paul is a floppermaniac...

    harden puts himself into a position where there are real fouls created. cp3 does all out soccer dive flops.

    that cp3 soccer dive won them game 7.

    My opinion about Dirk completely changed during the 2006 playoffs against the Suns. The same thing could be happening right now with CP3.

    Probably not because they will be playing the Rockets next.

    Legendary game for CP3. Pretty much makes up for his past failures, but then again this was just a first round win.

    Blake Griffin was actually the best player in the first round of any series.

    I have to say, if Chris Paul plays like this and does not whine or cry like he usually does, he's just an amazing player to watch. What a performance!!

    He whines and flops a lot, but when he is at his best, he is incredible. Gotta give my hat off to Paul for his creativity and guts.

    couldn't agree more, he played extremely well in this series, especially game 7, did not complain, did not flop, and delivered big time while injured
    RESPECT

    Chris Paul has always been been a good crunch time late game performer. The guy I LEAST want to face late in a game, cuz you know he's gonna be nails.

    For some reason sometimes, he can start working counter-productive upping the intensity, flops and whining level late in games. But his clutch moments outnumber the flameouts.

    Reason I'd lower his value is that ball dominant elite pure point guards DO NOT WIN titles in the NBA anymore. Its Wing+Big formula.
    Hakeem, Jordan, Shaq, Kobe, Lebron, were BEST at their positions.
    Chauncey Billups, Tony Parker, Jason Kidd won titles but were NOT, barely best player on their team. Have to go back to Magic and Isiah

    I'll go with historical trend over Paul's singular talent level. (And yes, his annoying attitude is a blemish)

    I didn't see much whining from the Clippers last night compared to our guys. CP3 did an excellent job on the bench bringing energy to the table. This I can respect.

    I'm not a fan of CP3 but he's the only guy that brought it all of game 7 for the Clippers. Redick was complete trash. Crawford was worthless. Austin Rivers turned back into a pumpkin. Matt Barnes supposedly had a should issue but isn't worth a dime anyway. Blake had great stats but at no point did I ever feel he would take over.

    Poor Clippers. :(:(:(. Somebody tell Matt Barnes they are still the same team they were last year.
