    cp3 aint doin **** with anthony davis at the top of the key. hes definitely not getting to the room. all he is doing is long contested jumpers the lakers would rebound and push the other way. cp3 looked good with covington on him.... LOL. he aint doin **** against the lakers defense. harden and lillard struggled but you think cp3 is going to do something ? get real

    also it wasnt the doubles that took us out of the game it was them running us off the 3pt line. their rotations were so much faster when they went small, plus lebron and AD both cover so much ground. face the fact there wasnt anything to be done. its pointless to sit and try and blame westbrook. the better team won.

    They wouldnt stick Anthony Davis on Cp3, because Cp could shoot. Davis woulndt be able to sag off of Cp to protect the paint and that is what you are completely missing. Is Covington suppossed to be a trash defender? Harden and Lillard are both number one options. And Harden didnt struggle himself, he was doubled. He struggled because Westbrook cant do anything vs a 4v3. Cp3 is a much better second option player who can make smart decisions and not turn it over.

    Yes.It.Was. The sagging off of Westbrook is what made their rotations so easy. You cant even admit that we would have a better shot with Cp3. When ever metric paints him as the better player. Also if we had Cp...we could have gotten Covington and another big...so we wouldnt have needed to play small. .......So yea in short, that Westbrook trade was awful and killed our season.

    man did you even pay attention to the lakers defense ? clearly you were only worried watching what the rockets were doing. cp3 can shoot but can't get into the lane especially not against them. there is no way he would make enough for us to be any kind of threat. we shot over 40% from 3 in three of our losses. what exaclty do you think adding more shooting was gokng to do. the lakers were not concerned. they knew we couldn't guard them on the other end.

    Cp3 can make good decisions out of 4v3 and his mid range is actually one of the best in NBA history. Russ cant do either. We shot 40% from 3 because they could sag off Russ and make good rotations, we didnt take nearly as many threes as we usually do. I've already explained to you the transition and half court..stuff man, you can choose to ignore it, we can stop here.
