CP3 a killer man, he’s hit a ton of clutch shots. He’s big time. Still hate his antics tho

 

[addict4sneakers]

Chris Paul is a great player.

No. You can't be a choker if you've come through in the clutch before IMO. It's like saying he's a choker for game 6 against Houston, but ignore game 7 against San Antonio or Golden State.

It'd be like calling Kobe a choker because of his game 7 against Phx or Boston, right?

Sometimes players have bad moments in the "clutch," it literally happens to every great player, does it not? That doesn't mean you're a "choker" that's just dumb lol.

You said the players blew it or choked. Just wondering who you're referring to. And lol at comparing Kobe who had 3 chips and countless clutch moments to CP0 who just now is about to make it to the conference finals 13 years in for the 1st time. I believe CP0 has more choking moments than his clutch ones in the playoffs but maybe you're right.

Your first seeded team got swept while healthy, as a GM, you have to make changes. They underperformed under Casey against multiple teams

 

[B Sox]

I certainly don't think Casey was COTY material this year, but he also doesn't deserve to be fired either. Unfortunately, the best player alive just has the team's number, which has been the case with several other teams over the course of his career, and they ended up running into him a series earlier than they normally should have because of the craziness surrounding the Cavs in the regular season.

Yes, they got swept, but they easily could have won a couple of the games as well.

Chris Paul is the worst player to make his team mates better if that makes sense

Just have to step in here and ask if anyone remembers when people said the Thunder were "built for the playoffs"?

Like....as in....he’s a bad person?

 

[fac3 tak30v312]

Still don't understand why every team needs to be built for winning Championships....
Just accept that Derozen is this generation's Richard Hamilton, and hope that either Lebron leaves the East or he declines like all superstars in ~2 years. IDK I gotta look up when Giannis contract is going to be up

 

[lamekilla]

Like....as in....he’s a bad person?

No. As in, out of all the players that make there teammates better, he is one of them. But he’s is on the lower end of the totem pole

hmmm I could see Maasai making a strong pitch to Giannis.

 

[B Sox]

Giannis is under contract for 3 more full seasons in Milwaukee and would then be eligible for supermax. We'll have to wait a couple years to see if a Kawhi-esque situation comes up.

3 more seasons in that dumpster fire? God damn what a shame

 

[buc em]

Zero chance Giannis lasts three more years on the Bucks unless they make huge moves this summer....and I don’t see that happening.

 

[nick.]

Milwaukee been a 'young core' for like 4 years now. They gotta start winning games at some point.
