    Chris Paul is crushing it right now, after 16 years in the league he can taste closing out a championship.

    I like Chris Paul and I like Harden, you are such a ignorant human being its hilarious. Inauguration day must have been so tough for you.

    TC sucks and always will. Houston fan base is weak. Basketball will always be behind football and baseball.

    So in bizarro-world where Tilman doesn't force the world's ever dumbest trade through, does Chris Paul get motivated enough to turn back the clock like he did for OKC and now Phoenix?

    I kind of feel like he still draws motivation from Houston giving up on him and he's proving the Rockets wrong with every dagger jimmy that he puts on the Bucks

    Chris Paul is not the type of person who needs extra motivation.

    IDK dude, whenever i watch the Bucks i feel like Middleton is so much more important to them than Giannis, lol.

    If Middleton has a bad game, they pretty much lose automatically.

    Nope. He was already motivated as he made it known many times that offseason. And then tilman surprisingly traded him in the worst move in franchise history

    I’ve never cared for CP3, but I am happy for him.

    No - because Paul is a teacher/mentor type. The young players in OKC and Phoenix listened to him. Harden didn't - it's why they got so annoyed with each other and had conflict that 2nd year. Houston was never going to be built to take advantage of Paul's strengths in managing the flow and running a ball-movement-driven offense. Westbrook or not, TIlman or not, neither Harden or Paul wanted to play with the other by the end of year 2.

    He can sniff it, win 4 games, be a champion.

    He should retire if he wins the finals MVP, it would be the perfect ending to a HOF career.

    Not a bad way to go out I agree.

    I think Paul has the talent to be an NBA lifer like Jerry West, he could be a coach, Executive or even an owner down the road.

    1 can dream

    TC was actually pretty loud for the 2018 WCF…I went to game 1, and I still regret not going to game 5

    I just miss going to playoff games in general

    going to regular season games next season is gonna be so weird because it seems like forever since I went to a game and the team was legitimately awful…I hope the new rookie balls out early so I can at least see good individual games as we lose by 30

    Alright, I've made my choice. I'm Mobley gang now... Green will have a never-ending excuse list if he disappears ala Harden in the playoffs....
