    It’s really not even debatable at this point. Brodie is a mvp caliber player and Paul has lost all his explosiveness. Those hamstring issues have slowed him to a crawl

    Yup. Now if we can just get 2018 harden, this team will be unstoppable.

    Harden just dropped 40 points on only 21 shots, and he shot like trash. I would hold off on that thread.

    according to people like @LorneMalvo CP was in excellent shape this season and his explosiveness had increased because he dropped 22 points on the Jazz

    Is Chris Paul currently even a top 40 player? He still has 2 more years on his deal. Yikes...

    I said this time and time again..BEFORE and AFTER it happened...without a doubt...with no hesitation.

    I also said, CLUTCHFANS, as usual will backtrack and realize how idiotic they were with their horrible take on Westbrook joining this team.

    I TOLD YOU SO.

    Thank God he is a Houston Rocket.

    If its true that Tilman forced the front office's hand in making this trade, then I say GOOD ON TILMAN. Paul is still an above-average player, but he isn't 2nd best player on a championship team good anymore. That last hamstring injury against Golden State was the beginning of the end for him.

    Westbrook’s secret is an anti-vegan diet. He’s been studying the ways of Argentina and doing 3 steak dinners a day. Little tip Scola taught him.

    At the very least he's a better No. 2 to a screwing up Harden during clutch time than CP3. He's a faster and more aggressive decision and play maker, and a better and more aggressive rebounder than anyone in the team (much less CP3).

    Chris still has his iq but dude is just slowed to a crawl. I can’t hate on him especially after his first season here but the injuries took their toll

    I’ve heard WB described as the PG version of Dwight Howard and I think that’s apt.

    Unlike Howard and his post ups, Brodie seems to be embracing his role of play to his strengths and reduce/eliminate his less efficient plays. Everything seems to be in transition, or cuts, curls to the basket resulting in layups and easy points. I’m not seeing the chucking of long 2s and dribble up 3s. He only attempted 1 3 tonight.

    First three games he has 29 assists to 12 TO. In 4 games Paul has 13 assists to 12 TO.

    If you can get a smart, under control WB that’s still skying for rebounds, providing energy, and distributing, then what more can you ask for?

    That’s a career high for most NBA players.
