Because every time they're in the Finals, they play the Celtics?My Lakers hate seems to have been transferred to the Clippers. For some reason I like the idea of the Suns in he finals.

What a team player.unbelievable. i can't remember anything like that happening before.
EjectedHad to walk away from the TV. How did the refs handle the Beverly back push?
Gar Heard is not walking through that door.Because every time they're in the Finals, they play the Celtics?
Good. Was preparing to be very upset.Ejected
Tasmanian Devil? The guy is 1) a lousy player and 2) and a consistently dirty player. Granted you posted that before this push -- but that push is par for the course for his "Tasmanian Devil" style of play. Total scumbag.I love him. He is the Tasmanian Devil incarnate.
Because why?Hope the Clips walk off at the buzzer.
Paul George will get dragged by his critics
Rondo knows petty when he sees it. Kobe was a piece of shit but was dead right about him.Rondo walks off without congratulating Paul. Legend.
I remember thisHappy for the Suns. Beverly getting ejected is like the cherry on top.
After the game, Beverley was asked what it's like being on the court with someone like Smart.
Beverley didn't feel the idea that Smart, or anyone for that matter, might be on his level of intensity was even worth dignifying.
"That's funny," he said dismissively.
Of course, Smart was subsequently asked about Beverley's shrug-off response. In a manner that illustrates, perhaps, the starkest difference in the way Smart and Beverley go about their similar business, Smart was measured, respectful -- composed is probably the right word -- in his assessment. But in the end he said the same thing Beverley said: There's no comparison.
From New Orleans assuming he’s a Paul fan but no idea hahahaLil Wayne. Why the hell not?
I believe that New Orleans is the connection from Paul's time there with the Hornets.From New Orleans assuming he’s a Paul fan but no idea hahaha
Yea that’s what I meant I’m assuming that’s why he’s there but have never heard of him being a Chris Paul fanI believe that New Orleans is the connection from Paul's time there with the Hornets.
Agreed. George did what he could and played well. Anyone who questions his work here is a moron.Paul George will get dragged by his critics but the dude just ran out of gas. He played brilliantly for most of the playoffs. I would love to have seen the Clippers ceiling if Leonard hadn't wrecked his knee but they wouldn't sniff this game were it not for George.
How the hell would George get dragged? He was amazing this postseason; easily the best run of his life, given the responsibility he had.Paul George will get dragged by his critics but the dude just ran out of gas.

I have never seen this before. I have watched it like 500 times and mesmerized by Chris Paul. I always thought he was overrated, but not anymore!
He ran right by some big (white, for no other reason than to narrow down the possibilities for who it was) to shove Paul. I assume that guy was caught by surprise by the act.In a different era there is no way Pat Bev would have walked over to another team's bench and shoved a star player from behind without being KO'd.
Is this pre-reviews era? No way that holds up nowadays.I have never seen this before. I have watched it like 500 times and mesmerized by Chris Paul. I always thought he was overrated, but not anymore!
Nobody is going to be dragging Paul George. He was sensational, maybe the best all-around performance of any player in the playoffs this year. If anything I think the hot take crowd will go the other way and come knives out for Kawhi.How the hell would George get dragged?

There are posts in this very thread discussing his sub par performance last night and the media/socials noticed too.Nobody is going to be graphing Paul George. He was sensational, maybe the best all-around performance of any player in the playoffs this year. If anything I think the hot take crowd will go the other way and come knives out for Kawhi.
They showed him a few times on the sideline and I couldn't figure if he looked like he really wanted to be playing or not there at all.Nobody is going to be dragging Paul George.

I would have loved to see what the Jay's + Paul instead of Kemba could have accomplished the last couple of years. I view Paul similar as KG - he doesn't need a ring for people to fully appreciate him but it'll probably help. This is an all-time great and I really hope he puts the cherry on the sundae of a great career. Still annoyed that he got hurt when Houston was about to KO the Warriors.I love Chris Paul. He's the guy people like to pretend Kobe and Jordan are....
IE, he's an absolutely ruthless compulsive competitor who makes opponents hate him by skirting every edge he can in terms of gamesmanship without being dirty.
The difference is where Kobe and Jordan were also just enormous self-absorbed assholes and generally shitty people, Paul's teammates seem to love him, and he's known as a guy who builds up and helps out young guys.
Hard to believe 2 years ago this guy was dead and buried and listed as one of the worst contracts in NBA history . Now he is on his way to playoffs MVP, and potentially another 100 million dollar contractI love Chris Paul. He's the guy people like to pretend Kobe and Jordan are....

Not only is he getting another $100mm, in the process he is going to opt out of the contract everyone thought was terrible because he is underpaid.Hard to believe 2 years ago this guy was dead and buried and listed as one of the worst contracts in NBA history .

I know that CP3 has a bit of a rep for this stuff. We must have a gif from a guy with 16 years in the league that's not from college.
Anecdotally, almost all my Spurs fan friends view him as dirty. Of course, they all defend Bruce Bowen so nobody is really unbiased here.I know that CP3 has a bit of a rep for this stuff. We must have a gif from a guy with 16 years in the league that's not from college.
