    You got all this in one half, the first half of NBA basketball for this brand new team.

    Nice.

    We don't really need them to play great together, I think the greatest benefits of having paul is having him run the unit when Harden sits. If he can do that we Gucci.

    One of the problems last year was Harden gassing towards the 4th. but if you can sit him and not lose offense it's really good

    Chris Paul was not aggressive on offense. Didn't look to score or drive at all.

    really thought cp3 would look much better with a coach like d'antoni and what he did with steve nash but something is off.

    only first game of the season tho against the best defense in the league so there is still time to work on chemistry.

    He's been favoring that knee out there and even when he's on the bench. We might have to wait a few weeks to actually see his impact. I hope he ball out in this 2nd half and stop hiding on offense. Bro even Hall of Famers defer to James. God Tier confirmed!

    He's certainly playing like Lebron.

    Clippers were 19th and 17th in pace the last 2 years, give CP3 some time to get used to this type of tempo

    Uh no. You get stars for cohesive power, not alternative power.

    Chuck: Rockets kept trying to play the Warriors way. I don't know why they think they can outscore them. You're not gonna outscore them. 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.

    We put up plenty of points and played OK defense ... They just didn't miss

    Hopefully they cool off and we can limit turnovers in the second half .

    We are the C-I-Ts so pity us.

    Said this before we got him. After we got him and will always say it. We need stars. Offensive go to guys. Paul manages games. He will figure it out. Harden is in top shape. It's the average players on this team some ppl hype up.

    We are also playing against the best team. I don't see us getting past them or 3-4 other teams. I don't care for having 5th best record.
