1. CP3 has never been MVP 2. These Rockets didn't win a ring without CP3 Verdict: Worst thread of the week.
You got one guy getting 50 points and 60 point triple doubles with ease and then you got a guy who can have a 11 assists to zero turnover ratio in his sleep so in essence you may have the best playmaking/ scoring backcourt ever
BS... The league would ecstatic to have dominant big men.. It started with the stretch 4s.. Now its stretch 5s... It's why the NBA is soft... starts with big men being basically 7ft shooting guards..
This whole Chris Paul situation shows that James didn't destroy Ty Lawson, Ty Lawson destroyed Ty Lawson
Ty had issues that were not basketball related which effected his on the court performances. As for Harden not playing well with other guards? Who was he supposed to share the ball with ? Inferior role players like Lin and Beverley ? Which sane coach would take the ball out of hardens hands and gives it two those role players with limited talent?
I watched an eggball game last night and it took em a couple of minutes after the goal(or basket or whatever it is called when you score) to decide if it is legit
those new continuation rules ruined the NBA you can blame harden and his 2nd most points produced in history for that
they spent all summer changing the rules specifically to stop harden from scoring too much. so they watch tape and make the rules based on harden's moves but they still need to apply the same rules to everyone so they won't be too obvious so it turns out harden's moves were mostly natural basketball moves which everyone else was doing and that's where all the mess begins
Everyone, literally everyone, thought the CP trade was gonna hurt the Rockets. Not enough ball, too much dribbling, no chemistry, CP is old, gave up too much, etc. etc. etc. These dudes ain't ****, talking all this smack. Yeah, we broke the NBA, but it was against odds considering the amount of hate everyone has against us. All the while, nobody ever questioned whether KD was gonna help GSW.
LeBron is LeBron and father time is undefeated I still think he can when he wants be the best and most dominant player on the floor but he certainly cannot do it consistently over the course of an entire season. The dude has been leading the league in minutes its really a shame that he has to this late in his career. a BIG IF (imo) that he comes here I think it will work only because he would log the fewest minutes of his career. The problem is that the trio would be similar in the previous Rockets Big '3' Trios where the stars were past their primes. Paul and LeBron both can be quite effective later in their careers but they may not be all-nba second team type talents (let alone first team). If its ends up being a Celtics situation where we win a ring and are really good for 2-3 season I am all in though.
