    Really? In his career, has there been any indication that CP3 is not one of the utmost proffesional workers in the league? Harden was in the best shape of his life in that off-season we got CP3 as he followed CP3's nutrition advice.

    I get it .. trust me I do.

    But CP3 isnt going to magically fix the poor shooting on his own.

    James is right the team sucks and he is part of the problem, but you cant argue the team is good with any other star in James' place - its not accurate.

    LBJ would NEVER play for this team. Too many midgets.

    From following his career and everyone who has teamed up with him or coached him saying he's always the hardest worker. His problem with some teammates is he can become to controlling similar to Kobe's issues with teammates.

    Yes please... Simmons is intelligent enough to play make. With this line up we can be spurs-esque. All-defensively committed team go hard 11 - deep. Then move the ball on offense. You got some high motor and hungry players.

    No he didn't. How can people say that about CP3 when we have Harden?

    Last time the jokes about man boobs weren't directed at CP3.

    They were playing the bench due to injuries.

    Kobe & CP3 are on 2 different planets man. Prime Kobe would be the best player in this NBA by a mile. Can't compare Kobe to someone that's never beaten that loser Harden in series! LOL!

    I'm not speaking of level of accomplishment. I'm talking about personality.

    James is fat! There .. happy?

    Those two statements are not mutually exclusive of each other - they are both true. Pull up some tape of CP3 while a rocket - look how fluffy he looks in uniform. Dude is shredded now.

    Maybe that pulled hammy could have been prevented with better care for his body and this entire circus would have been avoided and everybody would be circle jerking a Rocket dynasty.

    but yeah it was all Hardens fault. Im fine with that now. Enjoy the crucifixion. Harden in the crosshairs must be giving you some joy.

    So let’s be clear here, you think Chris Paul is lazy?

    I didnt say that.

    I said that while Chris Paul was a Houston Rocket his training was bad, he was not in optimum shape and he contributed to his body breaking down.

    He has since recommitted himself to a healthy lifestyle it would assume and he is reaping the benefits.

    How often did Paul enjoy "load management" days off? How many "load management" days off has James had? Hmmm. Interesting.

    How many guys are in actual optimum shape?

    What is even your point anyway?

    This new healthy Chris Paul sucks anyway.

    He was a monster from 15-18 with that ‘bad training’. He got old and that’s really it. I don’t think his shape had anything to do with it.

    He wasn’t even really better in 2020. He was used FAR better.

    By Spurs-esque, u mean last year’s Spurs right? We will miss the playoffs or barely squeak in and get trounced, but hey, at least the defense will be better and a bunch of limited players will be moving the ball.
