Hayward the wholesome juiceman
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:00 (seven years ago) link
yeah they showed a side by side of him now vs in college and my eyebrows raised a little
― k3vin k., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:02 (seven years ago) link
i would confidently say that chris paul is a top 5 PG
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:03 (seven years ago) link
Hayward was always an elite athlete I guess but he's just so fucking swole
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:03 (seven years ago) link
Man this game ending is gonna be super lame now

jordan i can't tell if you're trolling me or
― k3vin k., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:05 (seven years ago) link
I would say CP3 is 8ish
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:07 (seven years ago) link
maybe call a timeout next time dummies

I'm too worn out to calculate the percentages of what they did there
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:08 (seven years ago) link
It was a pretty good look
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:09 (seven years ago) link
players that are definitely better than chris paul right now
hardenlebrondurant curry???
― k3vin k., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:10 (seven years ago) link
oh kawhi
ok top 8 without question
― k3vin k., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:11 (seven years ago) link
cp3 is not definitely better than anthony davis, giannis, john wall, jimmy butler
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:15 (seven years ago) link
can you give me one metric where john wall rates ahead of cp3?
― k3vin k., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:17 (seven years ago) link

i guess his assist percentage was 0.1% higher
― k3vin k., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:18 (seven years ago) link
how is paul pierce on the floor right now
― k3vin k., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:21 (seven years ago) link
cp3 is reading this thread
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:23 (seven years ago) link
lol i was just gonna say that!
― k3vin k., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:24 (seven years ago) link
anyway, john wall rates better than him as a defender, is as elite at stealing as cp3 and is also an elite shot blocker for a guard. john wall also sees the floor as well as any PG in the league imo. cp3 is one of the most consistent jump shooters in the league and john wall obv doesn't have that, but wall is also elite in transition. again, i'm just saying cp3's not *definitely* better than him.
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:28 (seven years ago) link
nurkic is better than cp3
― Clay, Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:31 (seven years ago) link
i wouldn't go that far yet
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:31 (seven years ago) link
to me these players are definitely better than cp3
lebronhardenrusskawhidurantbrow
cp3 is at best the 7th best player in the league
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:33 (seven years ago) link
not a great loss by the jazz...
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:34 (seven years ago) link
well there's 9 seconds left and it is the clippers..
― k3vin k., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:37 (seven years ago) link
i think saying russ is a better player than cp3 is utter lunacy btw but we'll pick up this debate another time
― k3vin k., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:38 (seven years ago) link
needless to say, that dial shot was not even close to being a shooting foul
― k3vin k., Saturday, 22 April 2017 04:45 (seven years ago) link

no. nba continuation is ridiculous enough as it is

No curry on j0's list :(
― Spottie, Saturday, 22 April 2017 07:16 (seven years ago) link
Is jingles supposed to be a good defender why was he checking cp the whole 4th?
― Spottie, Saturday, 22 April 2017 07:18 (seven years ago) link
He's a good defender yeah
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 22 April 2017 07:19 (seven years ago) link
That was a top 5 cp game
― Spottie, Saturday, 22 April 2017 07:21 (seven years ago) link
@johnschuhmann: w/ no Griffin in the 2nd half, Chris Paul had a beyond-Russ usage rate of 48%, w/ a TS% of 68% & 1 TO. Not bad. https://t.co/kvpn3z7T5c

Wow. How. A toe? How does a toe get injured unless stepped on?
― Spottie, Saturday, 22 April 2017 15:18 (seven years ago) link
he was probably juicing between the toes
― 龜, Saturday, 22 April 2017 15:22 (seven years ago) link
how many playoffs has it been now where one of the clips starters gets injured?
― 龜, Saturday, 22 April 2017 15:23 (seven years ago) link
whoops. so 8th best.

worked out ok
― lag∞n, Saturday, 22 April 2017 17:25 (seven years ago) link
didt see the game but judging from the box score they played 5 out all game
― lag∞n, Saturday, 22 April 2017 17:29 (seven years ago) link
interesting considering theyre getting killed on the boards but its not like their bigs rebound anyway

not positive what this is about but bev ran recklessly (and imo intentionally) into the front row of fans immediately after fouling out last night -- he tried to play it off like he couldn't stop his momentum but it looked pretty intentional to me. pretty despicable move imo
― k3vin k., Saturday, 22 April 2017 18:28 (seven years ago) link
Something we weird about that but they didn't show a replay last night
― Spottie, Saturday, 22 April 2017 19:22 (seven years ago) link

There's no reason why Lowry should be bad in the playoffs
― Matt Armstrong, Saturday, 22 April 2017 20:35 (seven years ago) link
i'm not usually the type of person to believe in this stuff but lowry has always been a volatile/heady guy, maybe he just crumbles under pressure
― k3vin k., Saturday, 22 April 2017 20:38 (seven years ago) link
Giannis' jumper has looked pretty great this series. Like it seems to have improved just from looking at the form and release. Not aiming it.
