You know what I love about CP3? After the win vs. the Suns on Thursday night, Chris Paul made it a point to mention to the ESPN sideline reporter that our defense sucked (gave up 116). Said it just like that. "Our defense sucked..." Next game, we give up 83.
We just did the Keeper version of this play vs Denver. Paul dribbled through the seam vs hand-off the Harden.
Harden and Paul play a completely different style of PG, which is why I am confident that the defense won't be able to slow down both.
There shouldn't be much concern about Harden and CP3 having chemistry issues, because they're both elite shooting guards that have the passing ability to make them world class point guards. Therefore when one of them is handling the ball, the other remains a legit 38-40% 3 point threat and has the ability to drive to the rim like a shooting guard. We have excellent spacing when both of them are on the court which is the main thing that can affect chemistry. When the other guy is a lights out shooter it really makes life easier for both players.
What I liked the best from yesterday's game against Denver, is Harden actually cutting hard to the basket. It was 4AM so I had to replay it because I couldn't believe my eyes lol
Went from CP3 and Harden can not co exist to “I knew they would be good but warriors are better Sickening, even if we win the championship they would be like “They got lucky”
I wonder how happy CP3 is that he came here. After losing to Utah last year in the playoffs he must be thoroughly enjoying these Utah routes. Utah just did not belong on the same floor as the Rockets last night. Sure they lost Hayward, but their rookie has been averaging around 28ppg his last 6 and Burks finally remembered how to play ball again. Dominance.
Not gonna lie, I was one of the serious doubters (but high hopers). I've never been more happy to be proven wrong... Hope it keeps up, and Harden finally gets [what should be] his [third] MVP.
If every single topic you say: "let's see what they do in the play-offs, can they make a run, not worried about now..." WHAT IS THE POINT OF YOU BEING A ANALYST, HAVING A DISCUSSION AND WATCHING GAMES?? Nichols is totally right, these are signs of what we will look like and not about crowning us or anything. She's giving the facts about how CP3 makes us better and still a guy like T-Mac won't acknowledge that it is working perfectly and that we would win without him. Uhm....no, we wouldn't. Even with our amazing defense, once Harden sits there would be very little creativity on the court. CP3 keeps it rolling. I'm actually surprised how bad our guys were off of Harden's passes. I know he can be pretty sloppy with his passing behind the back and over his shoulder. Any season stats?
How bad they were off of Harden's passes? What are you talking about? You mean those stats they posted from a single game with seven total shots of his passes? For the season, I'm sure he's been strong, but I also don't doubt that Paul is a somewhat better passer.
If we win the championship this season... Barkley: "Look Ernie, they only won because Michael Jordan wasn't playing" Shaq: "Sho nuff" Ernie: "But Chuck, he retired years ago" Barkley: "It don't matter, they owe me money!" Kenny: "We would have beat the Bulls" Barkley: "Shut up Kenny, are you still here?" Barkley: Goes on to repeat his first statement five times while you think he is going to add something to it
