thread sparked by the fact that they have already matched their win total for last year. i'm not ready to make them my new overachieving bandwagon team (i won't spurn the bobcats yet) but they are worthy of note.

two years pass...
i like posey a lot - he fit perfectly into the celtics scheme really allowing them a lot of flexibility - but it is possible to overrate a 20min per night guy
ultimately his biggest strength imo is hes the perfect kinda guy to defend kobe bryant - best case scenario would have the hornets taking out the lakers in the playoffs so the c's wont be missing that particular posey quality should return to the finals
of course if the lakers continue to defend like they have in the 1st 2 games we dont have to worry abt anyone beating them

I'm just mad because the Warriors are going to suck this year.
Chris Paul is so awesome.

one month passes...
You know the story about Bosh's girlfriend and LeBron? That happened to me tonight. I was out in Indy sitting first row behind the scorer's table, chatting it up with players left and right (they were, however, ignoring me). The P's had a solid lead and CP wasn't showing up much directly on offense, missing several jumpers. He came to check in at around 3:36, and I was in complete Pacers mode. Without thinking, I murmured, "CP ain't s***. He quickly turned around and said, "What? High off the fact that he even acknowledged me, I said, "Yeah, you're lucky T.J.'s (Ford) not playing. He replied, "Yeah, I prayed for that last night, and rolled his eyes and laughed. I was in complete disarray, and said to the man that I had so passionately spoken in MVP support for last year: "You shouldn't have been mentioned for MVP last year, Kobe is way better than you. He laughed and walked off. My friend gave me the "what have you done look.
CP, the passing machine, stopped passing then. He began to shoot every time he got the ball and took over the game going 6/8 and scoring 11 points in the final 3:36. I was standing and cheering passionately every time Granger hit a big shot and he was looking my way.
After a timeout, he walked from the bench to halfcourt smirking and smiling, staring me down the whole way. I gave him a thumbs down and shook my head. With 26 seconds left he drove, danced around with the ball and hit West for a wide open jumper to win it. I thought the game was over, but it wasn't.
CP went over, took a photo with someone, then walked in my direction. I stood up. He stopped directly in front of the scorers table and, pointing a solid finger, and said in LeBron fashion, "It's your fault. It's your fault. My legs began to shake as my star crush walked away.
What did I do.
