Thought this was interesting:

It's a comparison among Gay, Jeff Green and Michael Beasley this season. They're all very similar player, and while Rudy has been the best by a slight margin, the other two guys are on min deals. Gotta hope Rudy has the highest upside.

Spurs are going to be screwed if this guy's body is falling apart. He's still young enough that it shouldn't be the case, but one cannot tell as everyone's body is different.

If CP3 wants to emulate the Spurs why he signed with a team coached by D'Antoni who is the an hesis of Pop?


"Even though General Manager Daryl Morey has made no secret of the fact that he’s got nothing but the Warriors on his mind, Paul seems to want his group to emulate the San Antonio Spurs rather than Golden State."


“It’s no secret they’re the defending champions,” he said of the Warriors. “They’ve won the West, what, three years in a row? So until somebody beats them, they’re the reigning champs. You can do that if you want to, but it’s a league that changes. It changes. We were No. 1 in the West a couple of days ago. When you’ve been around long enough, you realize it’s all about how you’re playing. Where’s San Antonio right now?

Told they were just behind Houston after the Rockets’ losing streak, Paul said, “they ain’t tripping. They just want to get their guys healthy.”

Ego. Win a championship with Spurs and the credit primarily goes to Pop and by extension the culture and "system" he helped cultivate. Think there's also a perception that they don't know how to deal with superstars or stars who weren't homegrown.

I'm sick of Rockets' disrespect (because of Spurs' archaic style) and Warriors obsession. Couldn't even beat a banged up Spurs last season and still refuse to give credit, instead acting as if it was all about them.

All I can say is he was a big part of Rockets' win in Orlando tonight.
