    I dunno man, the CP3 I saw in the 2020 playoffs was leaps and bounds better than the CP3 I saw in the 2019 playoffs. I'm no expert, but I'd be pretty surprised if CP3 didn't have a big efficiency bump last season.

    John Wall has never been treated for alcoholism. He did change his diet and stop drinking beer and liquor a couple years ago. He now drinks red wine and cut out fried food.

    Wall is literally nothing like CP.

    Broke up the most prolific scoring duo in the history of the NBA.

    Wall is not getting close to averaging 30 a game.

    Even if he does not blow out another tire.

    I think the last time Wall was relative healthy for an entire season, Obama was still president. :(

    Wall's comparable coming out of college was Russ.

    LMAO

    If you don't think about injuries or Harden being traded, it's a superteam.

    I hope it’s a good trade once we look back and not like last year when we traded cp3 just before the season started. Too many what if’s too from both sides. I know Harden and Cousins are friends with him. But I hope they stay focus. I’m crossing my fingers for a healthy season from our all our guys.

    I agree with you. I understand Westbrook forced the Rockets’ hand, but if you were going to blow it up, you don’t want John Wall at his salary on your team for the next three years.

    but that has nothing to do with chris paul's individual performance?. it's not like he was being doubled teamed.

    you're just making excuses for cp3 not playing like a superstar in 2019, and blaming everything except cp3 for his performance.

    Wall is 2 years younger.
    Wall has much less NBA mileage (fewer playoff games, and haven't played for more than a year).
    Wall is close to Cousins and Harden.
    Wall has good catch and shoot 3pt%.
    Wall has a much better defensive game.
    Russ doesn't want to be here.

    I can live with that.

    The good news is I feel like you can't double off Wall.

    He can hit WIDE-OPEN jumpers.

    Agreed, caused MDA and Morey to both leave the Rockets because of that ridiculous shot. :)
