Play the game the right way. Quit whining when your touch fouls are called and when people touch you and dont get called for a foul. Don't do a double reverse somersault on the ground when you go up for a layup and the opposing center exhales on your mug.
I think West is a good example of a KG type who became cocky after becoming an all-star, except he didn't win a championship. I lost all respect for him when he did threatened Nowitzki. The dude is a punk and I feel like it rubbed off on the rest of the team. They are just putting up a fake front. Chandler doesn't seem like that much of a douche to me, or alteast he didn't before. CP3 is a great player, but may be one of the biggest complainers in the NBA.
CP3 is the leader of the team.. The other team mates see him crying about calls and flopping so it just rubs off of him....
i cant watch a hornets game without wanting to throw something at the TV. I cant stand CP3. I wish posey hadnt gone there, i like him.
Lol. Tyson is actually a super nice dude. His on-court persona is a complete act. He does not make anyone's list of "people you don't want to **** with."
I've been saying it for a while. That team is full of wannabe tough guys. I would love to see just how tough Chris Paul is when someone gives him an old school foul in the lane. Chandler and West are punks too and so was Desmond Mason when he played in NO. All they need is to add Kenyon Martin and they will have the biggest group of studio gangsters on one squad in the whole league.
I first realized this about Cheapy3 last season when Alston got so far in his head the dude was nearly crying after the game. I think that he has heard that he is the best PG in the game too many times for his own good. Granted, I am not Cheapy3's biggest fan, but I do acknowledge his talent and ability...but I'd take Deron Williams over him (and I frakking hate the Jazz!) because I think that he'd work to improve himself rather than be content with where he is at. Cheapy3 is an elite class NBA player, but he is nowhere near the level of Lebron, Dwight or Kobe. Yeah, those guys may jaw a bit to the refs, but if something doesn't go their way then they'll get into the mindframe to make a point on the next possession...and they don't flop. I don't see either of those things from Cheapy. The undermanned, out-gunned Rockets exposed the Hornets last night, and that is all at Chris Paul's feet. I like chandler and West, but as has been said on this thread already - the only real "tough guy" they have is Posey. The Rockets recognized this and just let Cheapy score his points, cry and flop. The Hornets had no one to lead them, and until he stops reading his headlines that is how it is going to be for that team.
That's how New Orleans is now. West is the biggest cheap ass punk on there team to me. When he gets mad he starts playing dirty. Just watching him pushing Scola around got me mad. I wish we could get rid of that scrub sitting on the end of the bench named Brain Cook (who's making 3mil ) and try to see if we can get Robert Horry. He wouldn't take crap from West.
They've always been like that. I distinctly remember last year when the Rockets went to NO during the streak. Hornets tried to come out all hard and thug against the Rockets. Sending out some intimidation to the hottest team in the league coming into their building....it worked, at first. Rockets stayed persistent, then the Hornets got WORKED. Tyson Chandler's their biggest offender of the thug enhancement. Mutombo and Hakeem are some of the greatest guys ever. No tattoos, jewels, fashion adornments of any kind on them. And in some fisticuffs they'd crack Chandler in half in no time flat. Dont blame West too much for b****ing to refs really, in the last game ...Rockets got a few calls their way.
Im not a fan of West And Paul is starting to disappoint me too... I still remember the reaction Scola had in the game when he went to press Paul and he just fell over out of bounds and the refs had to call something... Scola just ran up court shrugging his shoulders lol
Artest is an actual tough guy, he doesn't have to be a fake punk who's all talk like West, Garnett, etc.
MAN PLZ ! im a rockets fan just like u are... but im not blind...arent we talking about the same guy who missed games because he was trying to work on his rap album lol? the same guy who go after innocent fans in the stand? yea real tough
The rap album was in his younger days and he seems to have matured some since then. As for going after "innocent" fans, let me pour beer all over you. I bet you come after my a$$ big boy! By the way, how big are you?
Every time I think of CP3 I think of that video of him in college punching Julius Hodge in the groin.
