There's still room on the CP3 slander bus.

CP3 is a point guard though.

You can't put all the blame on him

"He's not a big PG like Magic" "Deandre Jordan's FT percentage is awful" "Blake Griffin just became a superstar"


These are excuses that's being made for CP3

If they lose game 2.......... You just wait....

Mark Jackson is definitely on the hot seat

The Golden State Warriors' players have the job security of Mark Jackson in mind as they play against the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the playoffs.

Andre Iguodala said after the Game 1 win that he heard an ESPN report that Jackson "is going to be gone."

"We're trying to save our coach," Iguodala said. "Every game is pressure for us."

"It was more the message along those lines that we as players can control the vibe of what's going on," Stephen Curry said before practice at UCLA. "If we're losing and not playing the way we're supposed to, obviously people will start looking for answers and the head coach will get most of that blame. But if we go out and play 100 percent every night, take advantage of every opportunity out in front of us, there's nothing they can say about it."

Seriously???

******* ridiculous

Link?

Heard it a few minutes on Colin Cowherd's show. He said they agreed. I guess the link is coming later. I haven't seen anything yet. 

 

[beh235]

Adelman done? 

 

[proshares]

They fire Mark, they deserve to go back to the dark ages for the next 10 years it always makes sense to punish the coach because you gave Lee such a huge contract, he has to play him even if it means you're gonna give up 100+ points every game.

Phil Jackson rooting for the Clippers

Phil Jackson rooting for the Clippers

First he joins the Knicks and now he roots for the Clippers.

I wonder why Phil has such an infatuation with losers all of a sudden?

 

[imsneakerpimp]

I wasn't clear on the meaning of "troll"

LMAO....I just looked it up. That's my bad for real guys.

I could see why he'd be called a "troll" for sure. I didn't think it meant that

CP3 is a point guard though.

You can't put all the blame on him

He's the leader and floor general. He's regarded by most to be the best PG in the league. He has the team and coach. I don't see how he can't catch blame or why him being a point guard makes a difference. There is no excuse for the Clippers this year. What don't they have that would justify a first round exit? Not to mention GS is missing Bogut and are on the brink of firing there coach.

Michael Rappaport is owning first take right now.

Shouldn't be that hard to own that piece of crap dog crap show

[blastercombo]

Not CP3's fault because he's the PG??? Really? If anything it's ALL HIS FAULT. He's the facilitator. He dictates how the teams runs on offense.

 

[90sera]

Not CO3's fault because he's the PG??? Really? If anything it's ALL HIS FAULT. He's the facilitator. He dictates how the teams runs on offense.

This

 

[jumpman91023]

If Melo can be criticized so can CP3

CP gets the illest pass.

It's definitely his fault but at the same time I wouldn't take any other point guard over Paul on my team.

 

[kingfoamnyc]

Son I swear to god everyone in this thread if gotten a chance could go on First Take and make Steven A look like a clown.

 

[shotsrangout]

Michael Rappaport is owning first take right now.

People still watch First Take in 2014?

 

[suberzat1]

That's your opinion though. My opinion is that he says things for ratings and he says things to get people upset. Of course there will be times when he says a few true and valid things but overall he's a troll. Has nothing to do with popular opinion.

But skip been like this for as long as I could remember. I say Stephen does things for the ratings

 

[worldbeefreeg]

If basketball was played on paper, Chris Paul would be the best ever though

 

[firstclass]

Dude just said that Kd ain't a superstar
