    yeah i know it sounds too ambitious but heck, why not go for it , if we fail, nothing will happen... but really, i am amazed whenever i stop and think about the way how he plays, i mean every move is kinda graceful meaningful and beautiful to watch, a celebration of basketball! and then it downs on me hey, he is playing for Houston Rockets, wow!

    I've noticed this too. Harden has stopped whining too. Whenever Harden doesn't get a call, or it's no continuation, he hardly ever reacts now. Maybe they both made a pact to just focus on the game instead of the refs.

    His play is so clutch. It seems like the nights the team is just going through the motions Paul checks in and grabs the game by the throat. He just refuses to rollover and give a game away.

    won't lie - i thought i had an idea of how Chris Paul plays basketball before he came over. i did NOT. It seems like every game he does something that i've never seen before. A dribble move, a pass, a steal that looks like a blind gamble (yet you rarely ever see him out of position). He does things with timing that make me confused about what i just watched.

    i also appreciate.

    He’s definately toned it down since the beginning of the season. I noticed he tried some of his usual tricks and just didn’t get the calls early on. He quickly figured out LA market gets superstar calls and Houston does not. Dwight had the hardest time with this.

    hahha SO TRUE, btw what i like the most is when he looks like he is doing nothing special(eg npr he turns his back like hes gonna go out of the paint) or looking lackadaisical in the lane then he does something unexpected, scores or does amazing dribble move or pass

    I love to see CP3 having a big game with his bag of magic tricks, defense and leadership.
    Go Chris! Go Houston Rockets!

    I think Dantoni's offense has had a good effect on CP3. He seldom dribbles the air out of the ball anymore and he takes more shots.
