[QUOTE=Younggrease]Yeah we all know the Spurs take the regular season seriously:rolleyes: I mean Lebron dominated them last regular season..by your logic Lebron and the [B]Cavs would kill them in the playoffs..:rolleyes:[/B][/QUOTE]
Cavs would kill the spurs in the playoffs, its the finals that the spurs would beat them in.
[QUOTE=GOBB]They dont, they just so happen to win 53+ wins 10 out of the last 11yrs (would have won 50+ if not for the strike year).[/QUOTE]
I'm sorry but that's bull****, they take it just as serious as any other team, you can say they prepare themselves for the playoffs better, but to say they don't take it seriously, insane.
So it's like that is it? Typical ISH. Chris Paul is dominating and Greasy and the haters come out to bash him for "losing his cool."
The facts are that it was CP3's first playoff game, he dominated and his team outscored the Mavs by like 26 in a 24 minut span. Jason Kidd couldn't stop him, he was straight on fire and his team was playing at an amazing level. Who wouldn't be pumping their chest? Kobe does it and it's all good.
Oh wait, Kobe gets hate when he does this? WRONG. I've seen some Laker fans try to act like it's some double standard, but show me a thread bashing Kobe for playing out of his mind offensively/defensively, racking up assists and winning a playoff game. You won't find it. People bashed Kobe during the Nuggets game because he was shaking his finger and talking smack when he was 5-17 from the field.
Another thing that should be pointed out is how mentally weak the Mavericks are. If I was the coach of a team playing the Mavericks, I'd tell my players to get in their face and psych them out. Once Dirk, Terry or Howard gets rattled they start chucking, even if it means fading away from 20 feet.
Chris Paul's fire is one of the things that make him a special player and what will solidify him as a legend one day.
Didn't mean to quote GOBB and say that, apology.

What no...thats just gross. The Cavs are seriously terrible.
Who cares? Lots of players say lots of things on the court...isn't that what being competitive is? If one of you clowns played as well as Paul did in his playoff debut, I bet you'd be talking trash too.

Yeah but pretty much everyone makes Kidd look silly it just makes Paul seem like less of a player to actually brag about such an easy task.

Since it can't happen I made a joke.
[QUOTE=KenneBell]If Kobe did it, therre would be a 5 page thread on how cocky and disrespectful it was. :lol [/quote]
Difference is, Paul actually had a superb game, and "he can't guard me" is an apt description of what actually transpired. In Kobe's case, he's mugging for the crowd, shaking his head and making comments when he's 5-19 from the field, as if he just had a monster game or had hit huge shots in a close game.

I didn't know mormons made jokes...:hammerhead:
This isn`t the passing over of any torch. CP3 is better than Kidd ever was period.
[QUOTE=KenneBell]If Kobe did it, therre would be a 5 page thread on how cocky and disrespectful it was. :lol
Anyway, I thought it was pretty cool. I like to see intensity and swagger on the court. I'd probably do the same if I was burning a top 5-10 PG of all-time in my first playoff game.[/QUOTE]
What are you talking about. Kobe does it EVERY GAME. Do you not see him talking after each made basket? He does it so often that it's not news.
[QUOTE=Spudjjay]This isn`t the passing over of any torch. CP3 is better than Kidd ever was period.[/QUOTE]
paul isnt even the best pg right now in the nba :banghead:
[QUOTE=HorryIsMyMVP]paul isnt even the best pg right now in the nba :banghead:[/QUOTE]
Maybe he isn`t, but CP3 is still a hell of alot better than Kidd.
[QUOTE=HorryIsMyMVP]paul isnt even the best pg right now in the nba :banghead:[/QUOTE]
Then who is? And don't say Nash. The stats speak for themselves, CP3 is streets ahead of any PG in the NBA right now. And much better than Kidd too.

You are just a bandwagon guy all around arn't you? Jumping on the Celtics and CP both probaly the most overrated things in the NBA. CP only owns Kidd at this current time because Kidd is playing for a team hes been on for 30 days. It is a matter of transition between new teams. Jason Kidd is a walking double double. His career stats are really impressive. Paul has a good supporting cast and he doesn't make them better. Paul making people better is just a myth. The players averaged the same stats when he wasn't playing on the team. West had identical stats. Peja a few years ago was nominated for MVP of league. I suppose it is all CP tho. Kidd and Nash actually improve the teams they are on drastically. Kidd took the Nets places when the Nets were really good. Nash took the suns from winning 15 games in a season to 60 games. CP is just a product of great jump shooters.

I haven't been posting for a week. I just started posting again when the playoffs started. Why wouldn't you think Spurs fans use stereotypes? We are all evil after all.

You are out of your mind. CP owns Kidd now and forever. It has nothing to do with Kidd being on a new team. It's been 2 months now by the way, not "30 days."
Jason Kidd is a walking double-double? :roll: He has 35 compared to Chris Paul's 57. Where the hell do you get this **** from?
Chris Paul led the league in assists and flat out lead his young team to the 2nd best record in the West. His offense makes the team better then they ever could've been with Kidd. Chris Paul is the leader and he sets up his good shooters in good position. He's working with what he has. :confusedshrug: West and Chandler are better then ever, Paul gives them everything they need. Peja was an MVP candidate for about 2 months 5 years ago. :oldlol: You and everyone else in the world realizes that he is a role player now.
I just don't understand your thought process. Kidd and Nash made their teams a lot better in the past, but where would the Hornets be without CP3? They'd go from 2nd in the West to awful. Chris Paul led his team to 57 wins and just dominated the Mavericks. A prime Jason Kidd on this Hornets team still wouldn't make them better. They'd be worse in my opinion. Chris Paul's offense is so far ahead of anything Kidd has ever given you.
For the record, Jason Kidd really hasn't made ANY of the Mavs players better. Terry, Damp, Howard, etc... aren't any better then the first couple months of the season. Dirk started off poorly and has been getting better every month of the season so far.
[QUOTE=BryantGasol89]Then who is? And don't say Nash. The stats speak for themselves, CP3 is streets ahead of any PG in the NBA right now. And much better than Kidd too.[/QUOTE]
Nash is better then CP. Deron Williams is superior. Gilbert Arenas is better when healthy, Baron Davis and I really do believe Kidd is a better all around player.

Kidd has 100 career triple doubles. He is amazing. Enough said look at video of his first triple double, [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9Ynr4o5CPQ[/url]. He is a legend. Chris Paul is just a fad.

Kobe was doing last night in the 4th after scoring on Jr Smith and Anthony carter:oldlol: Dude was mean mugging and shaking his head on some "you can't guard me" ish...:oldlol:
In my 15 years of watching and playing bball I have never seen someone run down the court beating their chest screaming "He cant guard me" who isnt a complete douche bag.
Its game one, in a series he could still get outplayed in, and still lose. He has achieved nothing in the context of the playoffs. Its pretty laughable.
He has had a great season, and there is nothing wrong with trash talk. But that is just d!ck head behaviour. Its almost laughable. Hopefully they face the jazz and he gets abused as per normal and it shuts his midget mouth. Even better Kidd outplays him and the Mavs win, and Kidd says nothing. :pimp:
CP3 has had an MVP caliber season. When he strings at least 3 in a row we'll start the comparisons with the all time great careers, who played at MVP level for 5-10 years, not just one. He is on track if he maintains this level.

We'll see in a few years according to that logic. How many point guards had an overall better season this year than Chris Paul did? It's now, no need to dwell on the past, most people haven't seen the old time greats play, just highlights.
[QUOTE=5 2 3 5]And you couldn't guard him either during the final game of the regular season, when he torched your ass for 27/10/10. Oh, but I forgot, you WANTED to play Dallas in the first round, and the seeding didn't really matter because you choked away your shot at MVP by getting humiliated by that other guy in LA, right? Honestly, I still have this guy getting bounced in the first round. I'd be shocked if he can even take Dallas to 7 games.[/QUOTE]
Mavs had seeding to play for, the Hornets didn't?
[QUOTE=BIZARRO]I loved KJ's game, but I'll say it again, if you put KJ on these Hornets I don't see them winning 55 games.[/QUOTE]
Kevin Johnson was definitely as good as CP3 now and he was bigger too.
[QUOTE=5 2 3 5]After LA beat SAC, NOH was locked in at #2 (they couldn't move up to #1). But the game would have mattered for NOH if they hadn't lost to SAC.[/QUOTE]
I know the Hornets had nothing to play for? That's what I am saying?
Devin Harris would be useful right about now.
If that's trash talking, then Rasheed should be in hell.
[QUOTE=BIZARRO]Uh, yes there would be a problem for Kidd in this series.
CP3 currently is a better player than Kidd ever was in his prime.[/QUOTE]

Well, he's shooting better than Kidd, he's put up more assists, more points, more steals, and less turnovers in one single season than Kidd ever has (and has as many wins as Kidd's teams have ever achieved).

That was in a conference that had only one other 50 win team, it's a little different competition than what they're facing now.

I'm not saying he's better than Kidd on a whole, but he's having a better season this year than Kidd ever had.
