tell me why he can't get out the first round. Even his son asked him, "Daddy, why you lose again?" I'd still take Rondo, Rose, and Westbrook over him; and Curry possibly.

Y? Curry has only been to the playoffs once. Rondo had 3 hall of fame players.  Rose has one of the best defensive coaches EVER, and Westbrook is a 2nd option.

CP3 turned a 32-50 team to 40-26, THEN TO 56-26. Westbrook can't do that.

 

[datznasty]

Because I'm not paying you 21 million dollars to have us out in the first round again

 

[illmatic34]

Yea bro he's a huge candidate out there for MIP in the October before the season even starts. He's not that type of player. He's an average bench player that brings energy rebounding and a few jumpers a game that's all.

Question: have you watched him at all?

Dude put on 15 lbs of muscle and is outphysicaling everyone for rebounds. He's fixed his jump shot and it's money. Don't be surprised if he kills it in the regular season.

LOL, break down how you want him to win?

2012 he made it to the 2nd round, and i thought you knew better that basketball is a team sport, you guys are making the clippers seem better then they really are because of the hype, but if you look at it you're not going far if your best player is a 6'0 pg who isnt consistently aggressive on offense and your #2 option is your 6th man

Some of these guys use that 2K mindset when it comes to basketball

Yeah b...you know nothing as evidenced by that rebuttal.

not lose? Far lesser regarded pgs have figured it out. Can we not let Mike Conley look like John Stockton please?

 

[imlive365]

Your basing stuff off of 4 preseason games. His jump shot is no good at all. He'll knock down a few a game that's it. Its no where near to money. Just wait and watch the season.

Because he's one player, this is the first time he's actually had a good coach and he hasn't had a legit #2 option this whole time.

Explain his 26.4 PER and the fact that the Clippers were a D-League team when he was out. I would take Rose and Westbrook over him in the future but right now you are a fool if you take any pg over CP3

He still doesn't have a legit 2nd option unless Blake goes back to a 22 and 12 player.

Once again proving you haven't watched a single minute of the Bulls so please stop.

Watch tape of previous years to this year in the preseason. He no longer has a hitch in his shot. Before you can tell he was thinking about his mechanics and his release. It's a more fluid release now and you can tell.

It dosent matter how his mechanics and how fluid his shot is. What matters is of the ball goes in the hoop. Which when he shoots it more times then not does not go in the hoop.

 

[sooperhooper]

It's like cp is addicted to being a pure pg. He picks and chooses when he wants to take over and have a 35-40 point night. If he had a score first mentality like westbrook or AI, son would be vicious. He would average no less than 27 per. His tendency to get his team involved, even when they struggle, contributes to the fact that they've been knocked out of the playoffs so early. I still don't think Jordan is starting center material. He lacks the basic understanding and fundamentals to excel in that position. He gets spoon fed by cp so much thaat he doesn't know how to use a knife and fork himself. Blake just needs to accept his role as a 4 and lose the illusions of grandeur that he has about being a lebron type 3. Bg just doesn't have the offensive prowess to be a lebron. I can't stand whem he starts trying to get slick with the handles. Stay in your lane.

Yes because 60 percent FG% is not making majority of his shots.

[awwsome]

He was a scorer in NO but that still didn't translate to wins


Also let me know when Rose, Westbrook or Rondo put up 23, 11 and 2 on 50% shooting. Y'all dudes on water man

I think Byron Scott was def a good coach

 

[black migo]

lol chill with the preseason stats, son is 28 he is what he is, mip is out of the picture, hes a rich mans reggie evans

 

[Trillmatic90]

Rich man's Reggie Evans? I don't think he's gonna get MIP this year but you gotta give him more credit. He's definitley better than a rich man's Reggie.

Now how many of those 48 shots are jumpers. I'd like to bet less then half. Lets get 3 months into the season and see how good his jumper looks

Let me know when CP3 drops 40 in a finals game then, or in fact does anything in a finals game as a participant.

Clippers could sign damn Jesus and y'all still would be on some blame deflecting ****, "well see Jesus wasn't a legit number 2 option because they were playing lots of games on Sunday, Easter had passed by and you know he was distracted, he wasn't on his game to help CP3 out and the Illuminati channeled Satan to make Conley unguardable."

Tyson Chandler, David West, Blake Griffin, Peja Stoiakovic, JR Smith, DeAndre Jordan, Jamal Crawford, Caron Butler, Matt Barnes; that's a nice supporting cast.

And somebody complaining about DJ, all he can do is catch, dunk, run, and block shots. Some teams got starting centers who can't do any of those things.

 

[sooperhooper]

Who cares what type of shot they are the object of the game is to get a high percentage shot. 60% shooting is good. Period.

 

[grandtheftbike]

Taj can't rustle the jimmies like Reggie can

We were arguing his jump shot. He has no jump shot. He's shooting 60% in the preseason against mostly back upsm
