    Chris Paul has led every team he’s been on to a franchise best record. Houston included. He was a big part of keeping Harden in check, motivating him and helping him win MVP. Dudes about to be 38 in a couple weeks. Let’s see what Harden looks like at 38. Speaking of bad shooting it was only a couple years ago Harden had a 1-10 shooting game in the playoffs. Harden and Westbrook are more similar than any of the fanbois on this delusional forum will ever want to admit.

    Yeah and Cp0 also has the most blown 2-0 leads in the playoffs, including when he lost to Harden and Dwight in LA.

    Who cares about franchise regular season wins when you choke in the playoffs? Even if Cp3 is already 38, he still chose to sign a big deal with PHX so he should play up to his contract.

    I thought regular season records were irrelevant to you. This is why you been ******** on Harden for so many years. Why are you bringing regular season records (despite franchise best records) to the conversation?

    If the Clippers win this series, it will be because of Russell Westbrook.

    Strangely enough Russ actually had another more impressive 3-19 game in the playoffs with the Wizards and they also won that game. Because of all the FTs he got he ended up with 19 points, 21 rebounds, and 14 assists. https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore/_/gameId/401327894

    That's the full Westbrick experience where you get to experience all the good and bad at the same time.

    House will always be one of my least favorite players because of that. Sigh...
    There is something I find especially unpleasant watching big men that get bullied in big moments. Between Phoenix and Cleveland I've already had my fill watching the game ones.

    No way House was the only player smashing in Orlando. He was just the only one making it tough on LeBron and the Lakers.

    hope the Clippers win again tonight and eventually win the series

    PHX has no depth…they’re playing guys like Landry Shamet for 23 minutes in a playoff game

    they look like they’re still trying to find some chemistry post-trade and they also play offense like it’s 2003…they just settle for midrange jumpers

    they took just 19 3 point attempts in game 1…that’s ridiculously low

    happened in last year’s playoffs too…Mavs went 109-273 for 40% from deep, Suns just 76-190 for 40% from deep

    Suns had every chance to get Eric Gordon and now he's killing it against them.

    If I say three first names:

    Chris Paul George.​

    Am I thinking about a Suns player or a Clipper? :D
