    false. beverley next to harden was not enough to lift the ceiling. good team but still an early exit in the playoffs still. cp3 lifts that ceiling. thats the difference. stop downplaying cp3. you're kidding yourself. its pretty awful you think he's that easily replaceable. you don't lift your ceiling dramatically with role players. you lift it by adding elite players and the role players follow suit. Toronto is the perfect example as noted all year

    I love seeing Capela crap all over Gobert and the Jazz. He's such a good kid and is becoming a star right in front of our eyes. He's just as good a defender as Gobert is and clearly has more potential on the offensive end. He has a really good touch around the rim. It's sad that a lot of our own fanbase underestimates his contributions offensively. He finishes a lot of shots that are actually extremely difficult, even if Harden and CP3 are giving him good looks. He makes it look much easier than it actually is.

    oh, their are plenty of guards in the NBA who are better than beverley. beverley is not a pick and roll guard. i'm talking about one who can hit the three, play great D, and do pick and roll. i'm not downplaying CP3 at all, but he's replaceable. Clint is not. there are plenty of guards coming out of college every year who can play pick and roll.

    this is correct. He gives harden, and paul the space to do their thing. Without him being such a great roll man, they wouldn't have the room to shoot.

    Capela of last night is the best defender in the NBA sans Kawhi Leonard.

    His ability to stay with guards in the perimeter and win those matchups is unheard of.

    He literally destroyed Utah's offense this series. Its been incredible to see.

    I was wrong! I was wrong!@ This guy is the best Center in the NBA right now. I can't believe I wanted to trade him for DeAndre.

    Clint is the best! Never seen someone dominate since The Dream.

    Can't believe we had that stiff Howard on our team thinking he would save us, when we had the savior all along.

    Howard continues to put up the big EMPTY stats that doesn't help team win, all Clint does help WIN WIN WIN

    Watch Rudy and TTBoy Tristan Thompson, etc and you realize how great Clint is on offense. He makes it look easy.

    A lot of big guys like Rudy and TTBOY Thompson can't even catch the ball. They look like goofball. Clint makes everything looks easy

    Kind of disagree here. If you're saying CP3 at this point is replaceable then you are kind of downplaying him. For the role he is playing now, unless you are getting Curry/Lebron/etc, than he is not replaceable. CP3 brings a ton of experience and leadership that no rookie can give the Rockets. He is not here for only PnR plays.

    Also note: no team tries to use the hack-a-clint

    That's huge.

    might want to check those game logs again kid. what a stupid comment. i can see it was a waste of time even addressing a post from someone lacking to begin with. just another wannabe who wants to act like they know what they're talking about

    BS, Paul’s defense and hustle can’t even be mimicked. He’s a pest on the floor and very good at defense. Everyone gives up baskets occasionally it’s gonna happen. Dude provides so much leadership on the defensive end

    what an idiot. you could post a video of the worlds best defender getting scored on. go study for your finals @jcmoon

    so game 3 only applies to your stupid logic. what about all the other games. oh those dont apply huh. a game where he had more turnovers than actual points. or another game where he couldn't even play enough minutes to warrant a full half bc he sucked that bad
