@ernnytheman: “Chris Paul is just out there robbing an actual NBA hooper out their dream and stealing precious time away for a story no one really cares about.”
@hooparj: “Get Chris Paul out the game and off this roster. Lue will continue to play him because he can’t help himself. That’s my only gripe with Lue. He trusts old players too much.”
@akb7479: “Can we talk about Demon Dunn’s and CP0’s +/- from the game last night or is that kind of discussion only allowed if your last name is Westbrook?”
