    damn paul george is having a tayshaun prince-like coming out party; he is shutting rose down whenever he's on him.

    He is smart and efficient too. He would look great on the Rockets. We have no chance of getting him unfortunately.

    I would love to get paul george on the rockets but i don't think there is any way that happens. He has played some great defense this series

    he's pretty much untouchable right now after what he did in his rookie season and in the playoffs. he might just make granger trade bait this offseason.

    I hope he develops into an offensive threat as well (20+ ppg).

    Dude has a lot of potential and I hope he takes his off season seriously and develops his offensive game. His defense is amazing, if he can guard Rose at the PG position, he can definitely guard three positions in this league

    If he develops his offense, he's an automatic all star in this league.

    Bogans at the SG position is a disaster.

    This is where they need a play maker at the SG position. Rose should try to play off the ball more if they get a play making SG. Maybe Tracy McGrady in the off-season?

    Like I said in the Hornets/Lakers thread the supporting cast around Rose is not that much better than the supporting cast around CP3.

    Difference is the division they are in and CP3 is too unselfish unlike Rose.

    Remeber at the begininng of the season they almost signed Mac until he opened his mouth .. if they did they would still get out the 1st round and TMac would lose his virginaty !!

    I expect to sign with a playoff team next year Philly, The Celts or the bulls

    He turns his defense into offense. His great hand work leads to easy baskets,but what really impressed me was the last jumper that he made at half time.
    I don't see any reason why he can't be a very solid scorer.

    except rose's supporting cast plays the best defense in the L and dominates the boards. those 2 things WIN games and championships

    if the hornets can do that vs the lakers, chris paul could pull out a few more wins for them.

    thibs need to tell rose to stop shooting so many 3's

    just because you became a better 3 point shooter does not mean you are a 3 point shooter

    If Indiana doesn't win this game they should absolutely be ashamed of themselves. I don't care if you're an 8th seed there is no way you should lead all 4 games at halftime but still lose all 4 games.

    I said they are better I just don't think they are that much better than the Hornets supporting cast like some said they were.

    when teams are trapping you like that, you have to rely on your jumper. however, he can decrease the 3pt attempts by learning how to curl around screens and shoot those midrange Js. hopefully he will add that into his repertoire in the offseason.

    offensively, with a healthy david west, the supporting cast is pretty much a wash.

    but defensively and rebounding, they are MUCH better. therefore, rose's supporting cast is MUCH better.

    paul can't afford to have a bad shooting game; he has to be VERY efficient for them to even have a chance.
