Chris Paul with the “throw your head back after minimal contact” flop and getting the call. You hate to see it.

Alvarado 4 years/$6.5 million. He really would've benefitted by holding off on signing a long term deal.

You can't have JV out there if you're Willie Green. He's the difference between CP hitting a tough contested jumper and walking into a wide open one.

smart from cp3 to hunt mismatches, the sixers played niang for like 18 minutes in the 2nd half and we didnt call for the screen on him one time. it must take a savant to understand how to pull it off

Cp3 might be the best closer of all time given today's rules.

The only argument is someone who like Curry who gets you 3 instead of two.

CP3 still doing it in 2022. You don't have to like him, but you have to respect him.
