You see, I never said he doesn't flop. Clippy said that he gets MOST (90%) of his offense from flopping. I am asking you (since you seem to side with his opinion) to prove it. Yet you are ignorantly just showing clips of him flopping which does not prove that he gets most of his offense from flopping. Silly butthurt Thunder fan!
Chris Paul is a gigantic douche bag, however is it classless and tacky to celebrate an injury to any player. Hope he recovers 100 percent so we can see their best team when we knock them out of the playoffs in the 1st round.

These nonGARM threads really bring out the trolls from other teams. Seriously, I wonder what team a guy named "clippy" roots for. We aren't saying that Chris Paul flops on every play, just that when it gets close with under 2 minutes left that flopping is in the top 3 in his play book. How many times were we frustrated as Rockets fans from 2008-2014 when we would lose close games to Paul's teams because he shot free throws off of ticky tack BS in the fourth quarter? James Harden reminds me of Kobe and TMac in the fourth. Shooting jumpers off isos is by far his most likely play, and he's damn good at it. Honestly there's no question who the dirtiest player in the NBA is now, and I have no sympathy for Chris Paul regardless of what happens to him.
sounds like they will reevaluate after a month and then determine whether to close up his season for the surgery
The fact that you think CP3 generates more of his offense (crunchtime or otherwise) than Harden shows how incredibly biased you are. On RealGM right now there is a thread about whether or not people like Harden's game and pretty much everyone is saying how it's ridiculous that he manufactures so much offense through his stupid flails to the hoop. There is also a thread about Paul's "flop" that caused his injury and while some people are bashing him it's not nearly as bad as here. Harden and Kobe are similar in that they get tons of calls by flopping on the offensive end (kobe is more of a verbal flopper while Harden is silent but floppy)
ouch. But to be clear, there are 6 grades of shoulder separation. 1-3 are the most common. Only IV and above are treated with surgery, for a normal person...non athlete.
Being out 6 weeks would give CP3 two months to get right for the playoffs. If there aren't any setbacks, shouldn't be a problem. The question is can the Clippers still finish #3 to #6 in the Rockets/Blazers/Warriors group and avoid getting stuck with OKC or the Spurs in round 1. This opens the door for the Suns, Mavs or T-Wolves to grab #6 and have a chance to win a series.
