what do you mean? He's a PG. He directs the offense, he distributes the ball, he shoots. CP3 is a fantastic position player. We live in a day and age where being vocal on the floor is called "pride"? All the "pride" shit is just circumstantial evidence from the dude's personal life or social media stuff.... The Clippers are nothing with CP3. The Clippers can live to fight another day without Blake or DeAndre.

If you look at the technical aspects of his play, he's one of the top PGs out there. You can argue guys like Westbrook and Harden actually hurts their team as they shoot way too much and is a greater percentage of the scoring offense. Ultimately, it comes down to all 5 guys on the floor and what the coach drew up as the main attacking pieces on offense. If CP3 is River's plan to score more, than blame Rivers, not CP3 for taking the shot he's asked to take.

CP3 will be great for a lot of teams. He has never been given truly elite guys to play around. Blame him, blame money, blame coach, blame luck. It's all the above...

........waiting for someone to tell me how DeAndre and Blake are elite players.

I agree with everything you mentioned. Cp3 is a competitor and a floor general. If he could buy into pop's system and swallow his pride he would fit well. Cp3 is highly underrated. Nonetheless, he is just as much as a complete competitor as Westbrook, and most people don't know that.

Stars and superstars usually don't go to SA in their prime. Cp3 might be slightly out of his prime though. He needs to go to a team that he can essentially control. That would not happen in SA.

For quite some time before, I was confused with McGee and DeAndre which reminded me a pre-season LAC game I watched in Vegas when a gang of young kids yelling at McGee. They kept yelling at McGee with "McGee you suck and you know it" which it holds some truth to it even when he is in GS now

[farshman]

HOU got punked, ouch. Don't think Nene would have helped.

[F30lolz]

Can we just skip the Conference Finals? We obviously know it will be Cleavage vs. GSW.

[Nihilation]

Bold predictions:
Wizards go 7, beating Boston. Then go 6 against Cleveland in an upset. Spurs pull off a miracle and make it to the finals in 7. The Wizards take game 7 against the Spurs to end Washington's championship drought. Don't laugh.

Believe me I want the Spurs to pull it off. Hard to root for the best player on the planet when he constantly complains and plays GM. GSW have too much firepower which makes it look easy.

Fucking AL Horford

[Flying Ace]

John Wall! In your eye Bradley.

[TXSTYLE]

I am no Harden fan although I respect his game... But he was seriously out of it Thursday!

Who is your pharmacist?

Why even bother playing this Cleveland series? It's already over

[Kenny's X5]

These playoffs have been turrrrible!

[Germanauto]

The NBA is a joke.

In no other sport is a conference finals filled with f**king blowouts.

I know that the league has always been one dominated by a few franchises, but at least it wasn't a situation where in September you KNEW which two teams were going to make the Finals. Just a decade ago you of course had your favorites, but you didn't KNOW who EXACTLY was going to make it out of the East or the West. Even during Jordan's days, he faced some very stiff competition from teams like the Knicks, Pacers, and Pistons en route to the Finals.

Bron Bron created this "super team" trend and the Warriors only worsened it. This league is pathetic.

Oh and screw LeFlop and his fans, I hope GS demolishes them.

Couldn't agree more. Aside from the Spurs and maybe Boston because of their #1 pick, there is no hope for any other team. It will be like this for at least 2-3 more season's until Lebron diminishes and who knows how long GSW will keep the big four.

[kprocivic]

The league will get better.

[Flying Ace]

if there was a living breathing commissioner out there...there would be no super teams, there would be no tanking, there would be no resting of players.

Imagine being a Brooklyn Nets fan. You know for a fact they won't be relevant for a few more years, thanks to Billy King for making that terrible trade. Not only did they lose out on the #1 pick this year but they'll also lose their 1st round pick in next years draft as well.

Not as cool as Pac-Man (AKA Atlanta Hawks).

Seriously, it takes me time to not view it as Pac-Man.
