    the only thing that worries me is there were a few moments where Harden was annoyed at not having the ball passed to him as soon as Paul brought it up the court. There were couple other plays where Paul called for a play and Harden was standing ten foot away from the three point line, seemingly disjointed with what was going on, giving the defense five on four advantage. It just seems like Harden has been the main go to guy for so long, he doesn't quite know how to play with Paul. I have these kink work themselves out.. I really don't think and hope Harden gets upset about his stats being eaten by Paul, he doesn't seem that kind of person, but he didn't look quite comfortable with Paul. There were times he was trying to hard to show up Pauls ability and that showed up in both first quarter and third quarter start, when both our maestros were on court together.. As good as Harden is the sooner he excepts that paul is on another level the better we will be>

    I wouldn't worry about it. As the year goes by Harden will be more use to the idea of sharing the ball. Hopefully he starts moving without the ball even more, that would make this duo even more unstoppable.

    Paul should be demoted to the bench for taking a mid range shot

    There should be no doubt on why we traded for him

    I realized the same thing, I think he just needs to get used to getting out on the break when its in CP3s hands. He is so used to being the playmaker in those situations because he has been by far our best ball handler the past 5 years, therefore he goes to the ball or expects the ball immediately in transition.
    He just needs to recognize who the ball is with and translate it quicker into his brain. Because if he is running instead of waiting he will get wide open spot up 3s with CP3 making decisions.

    Chris Paul is easily, arguably, the most efficient passer in NBA history.

    He has easy argument over everybody.

    He's definitely an extremely good one. In the discussion among the top, but Kyrie is definitely the standout best.
