    This is obviously, easily the best team that Paul has ever played for. By a fairly significant margin. But I think there's actually more to his satisfaction here than how good we are -- I think it's just easier and more fun for him. This offense brings out the best in him and probably makes him feel more free and less pressured than ever before. He can truly do what he's best at and enjoys most here, without any pressure to put up 20+ per night.

    Lol, did this meme start with my thread somehow? Or have there been multiple of us who have been abusing this word?

    Chris Paul had 2 all stars, a 6th man of the year, solid defender luc, and one of the best three point shooters in jj.

    I wouldn’t say that’s no help.

    I love this rockets team so much tho

    Don't forget the city of Houston. I've heard him say before that he loves it here.

    This is huge.
    I used to love chris paul then lost respect for him because I thought he was desperate. Turns out I was right and he WAS desperate.
    Not now!!

    True but neither of those all stars could handle the rock which is more likely what he is alluding to.

    Wich speaks volumes about Harden and his skill set. Having an elite perimeter player alongside you is completely different then what he had in LA. I can agree with his statement

    I know what you mean by this but I'll explain why this team is better..


    For years the pundits have always lauded the clippers as a team to fear.... I've never believed that for one reason.... with the exception of Paul, that team was a very low IQ team...

    Now don't get me wrong I love love love D. Jordan but he has a head full of rocks.
    Blake although he's gotten better is still not a very smart player...
    J. Crawford talented scorer but he won't be writing any novels anytime soon....
    And this dates back before they got CP3.....I mean you can only lift IQ of a bunch of dummies so much......

    There's a reason CP3 made sure Luc came with him and JJ was the only other guy he wanted to come too.... they were the only other High BBIQ guys on that team...

    This is the real reason the clippers never advanced in the playoffs. In the playoffs you have to think and make adjustments and low IQ people just can't.... That's the reason they've always folded....

    Didn't health usually factor in Clippers postseasons?

    Blake is also one of the most unclutch, softest players ever.
