If CP3 cut some weight off his body, I can see him playing elite until 35+. Best all-around PG in the game.

Gordon Hayward went very quiet after a hot start. He's always the 'almost' player.

Game 4 is going to be extremely difficult to win for the Clippers, but it was good that they were able to weather the storm of Hayward going crazy in the first quarter / first half. Hopefully next game he's a little cooler, and that should certainly help, but the Clippers shot 55/37 tonight, so they can't really expect that again.

Is there firm evidence that he actually said that?

Damn I wish we coudl see what a healthy Jazz looked like. Somethign Like a Unicorn riding a Leprechaun I suspect.

Just a guess.

I don't want the GB haters to worry, because i am sure they are EXTREMELY confused about tonight.

"i, i, i don't understand. it was a close game and cp3 was hitting shots?"
"everyone told me cp3 was a choke-artist what gives?"
"did utah just outchoke a choker? do they like, negate each other?"

Not to worry, guys, i have the answers for you, because cp3 and the clippers will be back to their usual choking ways in game 4.

BUT! Clipper fans shouldn't worry either, because austin "THE NEPOTISM BENFICIARY" rivers will drop go 8/11 on threes and drop 40 points off the bench carrying this clipper team to a win, while also maintaining cp3's legacy as the ultimate choker. Also i made that nickname up by myself just right now, and i hope it sticks

BTW i guess if you're one of those myriad GB austin river haters you're SOL and nothing can save you from his inevitable domination

CP3 being a choker is probably the biggest living myth in the league.

That game 7 against the Spurs was one of the most heroic games i've ever seen. Well he was special today aswell

Jazz can't rebound without Gobert. That's the difference.

CP3 second half game 3 

Post#1191 » by OkcSinceSGA » Sat Apr 22, 2017 5:12 am

Pretty amazing display today with BG down. Outscored entire Jazz team 13-10 in last 3 minutes and change of game. ISO Joe made this close late, but CP3 wouldn't be denied. 24 points in 2nd half overall for CP3.

Yea, team must just be ecstatic at having one or both of their stars injured each of the last three seasons because at least they have an excuse now!

i think it just delays what they really need to be doing, which is breaking up that core or starting over

Agreed. That's what is stopping us from being a serious contender.

Pauls great, one of the best ever but i think he'd have been a better player if he was a bit more of a selfish player. Not completely because hes an amazingly efficient pure point guard but i think hes too far that way to maximize his potential.

I think CP3 could average 23/10 on great efficiency if he wants but I am not sure he can consistently give u 27-30. It's just that Blake is not the right 2nd guy for him, someone like PG or Davis/Kat would be great. He need a volume scorer/crunch time scorer so he can continue doing what he does all around. A pass first pg is still a better crunch time scorer than Blake...

CP3 should seriously consider going back to NOLA if this season doesn't end well. AD is basically the perfect 2nd option for him like Scizzup mentioned, and I think they could work it out with Jrue and Cousins... Probably would only play like 30mpg anyways.
