    Yeah I bet portland fans are crying like you for their Lillard-dribbles-for-20-seconds system

    I'm not sure what Portland's failures have to do with whether a system that takes ball movement away from a ball-movement-based-player would affect his performance. But you keep doing you and fighting whatever fight you're fighting.

    Is this English? I can't respond to things that don't even make sense or have context. If you'd like, feel free to trying to clearly tell me what Portland and Lillard have to do with this argument:

    1. Chris Paul wasn't clutch last year. Why?
    2. Maybe because the Harden system wasn't conducive to maximizing his strengths.
    3. The end.

    so what's cp3's strenths? distributing the ball to a balanced team?

    or being a legit 2nd superstar?

    He’s still good but I wish he was good here last year. He was not good in the playoffs

    I don’t think you can get much worse than CP last year LOL.

    You’ll need to compare the Russ playoffs performance with Houston versus CP’s playoffs performance with Houston.

    The gamble is that Russ will be healthy and productive in the playoffs, which Paul struggled with.

    CP was great that first year but got injured. Last year I don’t think he was fully healthy because he wasn’t playing up to his standards.

    Chris Paul watch!?!?
    Yeah I miss the harden and Paul state farm commercials.

    Thunder upgraded for sure with danillo gallanari. Paul George bailed first and the dominoes began to fall!

    Danuel House benefitted the most by getting a playoff series playing with cp3!

    House learned really quick too. House is on the development track that was kinda like Cassell in my opinion.

    Nah that’s just not sensible. You compare them under the same circumstances.

    Paul wasn’t good last year. He and Capela let the team down.

    I talked bad about Evan Turner but Portland had absolutely nothing on the bench to go with Turner after the injuries.

    At least rockets didn't completely collapse like Portland after warriors sweep!

    GSW dodged a bullet. Wish we had of also dodged a bullet as well. Would love to have all of our assets back we had to give away to acquire CP3.
