He’s not that good.

Larry Nance… know your role bro. They’re leaving you wide open for a reason.

Would you suggest they don’t review a critical thing in crunch time?

What kind of defense was that? I don't even understand what they're trying to do.

CP3 was ridiculously clutch. Whenever the Suns needed a play, he delivered.

Hope next game the Pels don't overreact to Paul and start giving up wide open shots with the double. If you have to pick a poison, let him iso on Nance from the three point line. Probably the lowest percentage play you can allow, versus walking into an open shot vs JV or giving up a wide open J with a double.

Relying on Paul is flirting with disaster. I mean it's been all year but still
