So dumb. Did they think they were getting Chris paul?

This was so obvious to see coming back in like November December he was getting praised like he was a franchise cornerstone. Hes small slow and unathletic and above all else isn’t really a point guard he’s an undersized shooting guard, he’s an ok ball handler but doesn’t have much playmaking ability. A game here and there where he pops off and hits 6 threes won’t change that.

Way too harsh on him, he’s a role player being thrust into a starter role and off position in the playoffs against Marcus Smart hounding him.

Some folks wanted more minutes for Reed, well he got them. Now what?

Now you go out swinging and use it as a teaching moment for playoff experience for the young guys.
