    Looks like he'll have one of his best seasons of the 2010's decade. He's in too good of shape, and on too dynamic of an offense not to.

    Got laughed at for saying he was better than Harden last year.

    Still is.

    James may win the MVP with his stats, but Chris is the most important player on the team by far.

    his game is all mental and it is aging quite nicely. And to think he was a hamstring away...hope the Rockets keep his regular season minutes down this year in hopes of a long playoff run

    I dont think anyone is doubting he is good.

    The doubt is about him staying injury free.

    He look good to me. Mid-season form good. CP3 was even arguing with refs like it was game 7.

    That in between the legs pass. It's preseason man, don't do'em like that! And he got a tech? He's ready to go.

    He is stupidly good.

    But we knew that from the past 13 years that he's been in the league, not from one meaningless preseason game

    The issue isnt about him being good, he's always been good. The issue is his health.

    Despite his advanced basketball age, CP3 doesn't look like he lost a step. Usually you can tell a player is slowing down. Carmelo is the same age as CP3, but you can see the slow down in his game. Lebron is the only player that looks like he is getting better with age, we might have to add CP3 to that list.

    But yeah injures are still a concern

    I used to hold my breath every time CP3 ISOs a big man on the perimeter, now I just chill and wait for the inevitable step-back 3/jab-step jumper/blow-bylayup.

    Health is the only ? with Cp3. With him healthy, championship is the ceiling for this team. He is the player that gives the Rox a chance against the Warriors. He's one of the top floor generals of all time.

    MCW is ripped, Harden is Stronger, Chris Paul is in Great Shape, Carmelo Anthony and James Ennis lost weight and both are moving quickly. Bruno Caboclo can be a huge surprise as a stretch Center, playing like Serge Ibaka. Marquesse is questionable to me as Backup. Bruno as a Backup Center is much Faster, better in Pick in Roll, or Pick and 3 Pt Shot.

    I'd say that Chris Paul is quite intelligently good :D:D
