2 weeks ago half this place was bitching about how bad they missed Rubio over CP3 lol

That doesn't mean he isn't a great player. I think most understood and even more understand that was the wrong take. I also do think people generally don't like the slower pace either though. Do you think Booker is better than Paul?

Dunno what you think but I think Paul has been making more of an effort to push the pace and get the ball early to guys leaking out?

Chris Paul led basketball teams have been bottom 5 in pace in every season he’s been in the NBA. I don’t know his college team stats but I assume Wake Forest had a slow paced offense when he was there as well.

I'm not arguing that, I'm just saying that he looked to get the ball in transition more which was good to see. I'm not saying he's Steve Nash or Jason Kidd.

Do you know which teams have the highest pace in the NBA this season?

Wizards, Nets, Bulls, GSW and Rockets.

There is only one good team in that bunch of teams and probably there will be 4 lottery teams there. For now the Nets is the only one in the playoffs.

And which teams have an "slow" pace and are next to the Suns in that stat? Celtics, Lakers, Utah, Clippers and Knicks.
What they are thinking playing that slow? Losers...

And another thing...the difference between the first in the league (Wizards) and the Suns is really small. They have 107.1 possessions and the Suns 102 possessions per game, if you think about it the difference is ridiculous.


So yeah, all in all we are on the right track and CP3 and Monty know what they are doing to put this team finally in the playoffs. We are in good hands.

Yeah, 50% from 3 in Dec, 40.6% in Jan, 0% in Feb (0-14). Not good. Hopefully he gets out of the funk soon.

Even with the cold streak he still has the best % of our starters..including Cam and Crowder. Things were going a lot better when him and Cam were knocking them down at over 40% for the year though. At least Paul is improving from 3. And Booker for the most part except last game at 0-4. But this game and the game before last he shot more catch and shoots and hit 4-8 and 3-7 in those.
