    I watched this one a few times on replay - watch the defender's (Channing Frye) reaction after the pass is thrown ..... You don't see defenders give up like that in the NBA very often.

    I have been noticing Harden is using some of Paul's dribbling moves , like when he dribbles to the paint, he uses rear end to create space to shoot the mid range,

    Cp3 is a better floor general and defender/smarter PG than Nash, you heard here first. Nash had a better team around him and a coach that utilized his skills to the max level.

    Paul was amazing first he had his cut dribble to freeze the defender off the pick and roll and then passed it to Nene for an easy layup.

    Then he had signaled Green to come up behind him for a pass then went through his legs and then with the same right hand hit the ball to make it a behind the back dribble that fooled everyone and caused a switch for Capela to have a small guy on him and an easy layup.

    Then this play - I mean seriously the flopping and complaining is something that I will always dislike about Paul but the guy is a basketball savant

    It was great play no doubt, but the Cavaliers have been doing this on the regular recently. Obviously not that overt, but their effort level overall is downright shameful.

    He can take two steps...he just liked the assist more than a open layup.

    Definitely.

    Plus I've noticed that CP3 hasn't done as much flopping (or complaining, compared to with LA) now that he's a Rocket. Maybe he realizes the more complaining he does to the ref the less he and Harden will benefit.

    Was at Biggios and I probably screamed louder at this play more than any playing during the Super Bowl. That was wild. Take Rose and Frye back to the perimeter and fakes them both out. Incredible
