I dont know... i have always appreciated his ability, but i think he's starting to develop a reputation for his lack of ability to "take control" of his team and will them to a win. In all honesty, aside from that one year in new orleans that he took over in the playoffs, i have thought he is vastly overrated.

What do you think?

Yeah, im not saying i wouldn't want CP3 here, lol... but i think for what they expect of him, it just won't work.

And then, in all honesty, i think they played some of their best basketball this round when cp3 was out with his injury. I think to a degree, he holds Blake back from being the player he can be. And it just feels like this is their ceiling with him.

As a fan of that 07-08 Hornets team I can't stop laughing that he's never been on a better team than that. I so enjoyed watching him get his ass kicked today. He forced his way off that team to go to one of the worst franchises in the history of the NBA. It's so wonderful to see.

Paul is a phenomenal PG. He's gonna be a Hall of Famer. There hasn't been a better pure PG in the NBA over the last 20 years. Only exception is possibly Tony Parker, but he has Duncan and Popovich- an all-time top 10 player and top 5 HC.

Here's the thing though, outside of Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson there isn't really a PG that has led his team to a championship as the best player. And Magic was surrounded by HOFers and Robertson is probably a top 5 all-time player.

PGs just don't win championships. History has shown if your PG is one of your top 2, or even 3, players you aren't winning a title.

Not to mention Paul has never had a great team around him. Blake Griffin is vastly overrated. Everyone else on that team are just role players.

And I don't even like Paul. But he's a great player, and the only elite pure PG in the game today. Curry, Rose, Westbrook, Lillard, Harden, etc aren't PGs and guys like Wall, Irving, Walker, are average.

Paul and Parker are the last elite traditional PGs left.

Oh waht coulda been for CP3, traded to the Lakers until the asshat Commish overruled it.

Now just more underachieving.

Chris is a great PG, and in a playoff setting, he can put a team on his back maybe for a game or two. He can't put the team on his back for a whole series, though. Especially not this late in his career. Funny, his best shot at a ring came while he was with Hornets. That clippers team ceiling will always be the second round.

Isiah (best PG of all time) led his team to 2 championships. Only one of the top 10 teams in NBA History to have just 1 player in the top 50 (as voted in 1996 50th anniversary).

      After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
