    What the heck, Chris Paul.
    From perfect, dominant playoffs games to no-shows.

    God Luka is great.

    Inside, outside, midrange.

    It's one of the only things I didn't like with Harden when he was here, he completely cut out certain parts of his game.

    All the talk how Phoenix were hunting Luka defensively and how much of a mockery Luka was on defense...... it's been deadly silent that Luka has been hunting Paul game after game after game now.

    The league really does embarrass itself with these rules.

    Player 1: elbows player in the head - Flagrant

    Player 2: elbows player in the head - nothing

    I don't care if you go one way or the other. Keep it consistent is all fans want.

    Ayton with a vicious look at Luka. I hope Luka doesn't have PTSD.

    Luka's FT shooting is so garbage. I don't know why.

    He's a league plant. Willing to play whatever version of Paul the NBA wants. Tonight, looks like the NBA ordered up Cliff Paul. We'll see what version shows up on Sunday.

    Luka wasn't vertical. That foul shouldn't have been overturned.

    Tilman sitting somewhere no doubt thinking he's now justified in saying CP3 has the worst contract in the league, after these last 4 straight games.

    its closer to happening than people may realize. if they get by phoenix, luka can have his way with GS or MEM. GS has no rim protection, and steve adams would get cooked against that 5 out offense.

    everyone is playing the mavs just expecting, or hoping they can't make enough outside shots to win. they are now tied 3-3 with the team that had far and away the best record in the league. let that sink in. magic johnson was saying before the playoffs to watch for dallas as a dark horse to get to the finals. they are sneaky good.
