We had to suffer through 3 years of that bytch @ClownThoughts making threads for Curry’s new hairstyle, Curry’s wife’s cooking show, Curry meeting a fan.

But now we got people acting like there’s too many Rockets threads after 1 month when all of them are about basketball:mjlol:
Except you disappeared last postseason when Harden choked after all that shyt talking you were doing.

:mjgrin:

Because he is :manny:

No he’s not.

The only thing Bev does better than CP3 defensively is ball pressure.

CP3 is better at:
- Getting around screens
- Switching
- Knowledge of opponents plays
- Cutting off drivers
- Help defense
- Closing out on shooters
- Calling out rotations
- Consistency

With how much PnR is played today, these types of defensive abilities are more important than 1 on 1 defense.

The Rockets had CP3 on one leg vs GS and the comeback started when he came back in and started playing wild defense.

I know you saw that game, or were you too busy being starry eyed by Steph @Gil Scott-Heroin :mjpls:

I don't think I've ever seen so many lies in one post.

This video alone disproves pretty much everything you said

He’s a reigning 1st team all defense player and he had the best DRPM off all guards last year:what:

He’s great by eye test and analytics.

Where is this place that doesn’t know that CP3 is a great defender besides that dope fiend Gil-Abuses Fentanyl’s fantasy land?

Teams use his game tape to teach how to get over screens, he’s that’s good.:martin:

CP3's defense has been trash in this series - just as bad as Harden's.
:stopitslime: Look at Shaq’s statement and the original post date. Y’all Back to the Future ass nikkas. Dude legit is attempting to defend the best backcourt in NBA history and y’all somehow expected him to lock them up for the entire 7 game series. Nobody was upping this thread when Steph was A.W.O.L. in games 1 and 2.

I'm not sure where y'all getting these stats from but if you ever watched cp3 play you'd know he can't guard a fly. He can come up with a steal a couple times a game but he's still just an older fatter Kyrie :yeshrug:

To begin the year, Kyrie was among the league best in defense.

His problem isn't ability, but he lacks a defensive motor.
