Why is Golden State the enemy? I didn't pay too much attention to the Warriors back when Mark Jackson was the coach. They were a struggling team. I only remember the 'hack-a-shaqs' they used on Dwight Howard to try to win a game. Curry was not that good back then. After they started adding pieces to make them competitive, I started pulling for them because I wanted a team that could bring down any team that LeBron played on in the playoffs (since the Spurs couldn't do it).

I liked GS. With the exception of green, the inadvertent ball kicker. lol. But when Durant joined them it made me root for their opponent cept when they played bron of course.

But what about cp3's decision to join Harden? It's all a chess game.

Chris was traded it wasn't his decision

He literally forced a trade there

he was recently interviewed and said he puked when he found out he was traded, it blind sided him.  Not sure where you're getting your Intel

He's a liar then. He opted in to his contract and left millions on the table to force a trade to Houston.

Literally the only way he could have been traded is if he opted in to that option and he did that simultaneously with the trade. It couldn't happen without him actively wanting it to happen.

"Chris Paul, who during the last six years playing for the Clippers avoided any controversial statements because he seemed more interested in preserving his image, has taken a shot at his former team by saying he was disappointed in its culture.

In a three-part series on ESPN, Paul, who forced a trade to Houston this past summer, also talked about the Clippers not doing enough to beat the Golden State Warriors."

“I think he was tired of hearing my voice,” Rivers said. “I think Chris is a guy who is very opinionated, wants to be coached 'kind of,' if you know what I'm saying, but wants a partnership as well. And it's tough from a coaching perspective. You gotta have a partnership but at times, you've gotta make the call. I thought that bothered him.”

I saw that in last night's game. Chris was on the injured list, but several times I saw him up off the bench--in a referee's face-- arguing a call. That's something I never saw LeBron do.

I think Chris wants to be the leader of his team--a player coach.

Can we just make him our coach?
