    From my eyes, he does not seem to get separation on defenders like he did last year. He looked slow last night , he is sitting out tonight for rest. Am I the only one concerned ?

    I'm not. He's been playing better the last games. He also rested at some b2b games the last season.
    Im actually concerned with Gordon. We really need him.
    And with the roster. We need a couple more pieces.

    Yeah I saw both. He looked much more dominant last year , last night in the 4th , he was on the bench until the 2:30 mark ... he is sitting out tonight. He looks better then most but I’m nervous. He doesn’t seem the same to me. Not near as consistent or dominant.

    I actually made a comment a few games back where I thought he looked slimmer and more athletic this year.

    So I am seeing the exact opposite.

    Yea he got older, nothing wrong with giving him less minutes and not playing him on b2bs. Well to me it looks like he's faster this year and getting to his spots just as well. I really dont know what game you are watching cause the only thing wrong this year is that his jumpshot was broke and that was because of his tendonitis.

    Hope your right. He was having trouble last night getting separation, he has hit a bunch of buzzer beaters, but There has been several games where he didn’t look like a top 15 player in the world.

    Those were games where he had elbow tendonitis.

    We don't need CP3 to kill the Cavs.

    We might not even need Harden.

    Only playing 8 players during the regular season will make old players look old. Hopefully Knight will come back next month and help out a bit.

    Too much turkey for Thanksgiving. He'll be better once the digestion is complete and he poops out the extra weight.

    You could see it last year too - about half way through he was struggling against younger quicker players.

    He is still a great player but will never be the same as he was 3 -4 years ago.

    Father time is undefeated.

    Paul needs modern haircuts like Clint Capela. It looks much younger!

    Paul's body-wise maybe 40, but he feel like 20 after he has modern haircuts.
