    He doesn't even need to move. You breathe on him and you get a foul.

    See u dont watch enough basketball then. U only need Paul for the playoffs. I dont care if he only plays 5 games in the reg season if he ready for the playoffs I'm good. U need him when harden super powers run out. That's it. My only thing I would do is add butler. To be ur 2nd best player during the reg. But i like cp3 even old. U just supplement him with younger guys. But it's good to have a floor general. The best still in the league

    False. I'm talking about in 2017 when CP3 wasn't on the team. You bench Bev who was starting, Start EG who was the 6th man of the year, and let Lou run the second team. unlimited touches.

    But they don’t quit and those 3 have a chip on their shoulder to show they are better. No, do not want them in the first round.

    And the Rockets have a knack for blowing big leads.

    Yeah , I'd rather have the Jazz in the first round with the dumb defense on Harden

    Regardless of Bev ... Harden was getting 36 minutes per game. That leaves just 12 minutes per game on average that Harden wasn’t on the floor doing everything. So when you say Lou run the second team that obviously didn’t leave very much time for him u less you’re suggesting Lou should’ve taken touches away from Harden.

    Lou was getting 26 MPG so it’s not like he wasn’t getting run. He had plenty of chances but like I said he just wasn’t a perfect fit. Not bad by any means but not a perfect fit like he is for the Clippers.

    They should give Doc coach of the year for this win alone.

    The Warriors had more turnovers tonight than KD had in points.

    Harden was getting 36 minutes because no one else was play making in 2017. Lou was getting 26 minutes with EG who took ALL the touches because he was 6th man of the year and didn't let Lou do much of anything except spot up. I'm saying Lou would have taken touches away from EG who would be inserted into the starting lineup and been a spot up shooter with Harden..

    Lou wasn't a perfect fit because he wasn't allowed to do what he was supposed to do because EG was the 6th man of the year. EG's defense, like we have seen this year, would not have been that significant a drop off from Bev in the starting lineup.

    Are you following me?

    I guess the Rockets should twitter-troll the Warriors about going into the NBA record books by allowing the Clippers to complete biggest comeback in NBA playoff history

    #WarriorsStunned

    Pay back for "27" "Rockets" "3 pointers" " made"

    Just hypothetically speaking since the Rockets traded them for Paul. Would you make that trade again, or do you think Paul is a better fit for the Rockets?

    I love that everyone loves Beverley now. Considering when he played for Houston he was dirty and a cheap shot artist.

    Funny that.

    Go get 'em Bev!

    The Warriors looked eerily like the Shaq/Kobe Lakers post-three peat, just so lackadaisical and complacent. They played that entire third quarter like it was already 2 minutes left in the 4th.
