Chris Paul is the biggest fixer in the history of sports.

He’s the best fixer of all time. Legacy ingrained. 

I don’t think that he had to fix a 50pt loss but he really always has been able to turn the switch off. It isn’t because he’s older or tired, it’s because he is one of the few players that literally changes the influence of games , on purpose. Some are gonna call me crazy I don’t care I firmly believe this. 

also he’s a coward to go along with it. Since he left houston behind game 6 and 7 vs golden state I’ve said that. 

I hope the mavs win it all Luka is a treasure for this league 

Hes just old and broken down.

I have mavs futures buddy , lol this is not a sad suns backer spread, this is a can’t stand Chris Paul spread and I love Luka and the mavs. Have been my

favorite team since they had fuel and beat the heat

At halftime, the Suns team total points was O/U 88.5 and they get a steal with 4 seconds left and the guy made the 3 to make sure the Over hit, hahaha... How was it set at 88.5 when they had just 27 at halftime... How did the Sportsbooks know what to set the line at if these games arent scripted? Imagine betting the under and getting screwed like that... Pure comedy 

Imagine betting the over and not getting screwed. Do you have anything to back up the claims you pull out of your ass? Anything to show their was more loot on the under than the over. I mean, you're talking about fixing a live team total. You don't even realize how stupid you sound because you don't even understand sports, or sports wagering.

Overpaid for nothing..

Once he turned 37 years old..It was all downhill from there 

He's not a fixer though 

He averaged less than 10 PPG last 5 games...

It would have had to be close for him to throw the game.  Although I guess this could have been a total laydown as a part of some humilation ritual.

He's old, and he sucks. Plus the league crack down on a lot of the fouling he does on defense, and they way he creates foul calls on offense.

@jgjtrapboss

 I'm not a Paul fan but you weren't pissing on his grave when the Suns were up 2 zip & he got 19 & 28.

Or am I wrong?

Atleast he doesn't flop anymore....or does he still? his helicopter flop are fcuking lol 

Because the league cracked down on it..It can be reviewed after and he will be fined...So he and his banana boat buddy LeFlop don't do it anymore..

Don't forget big Ben and now Patrick mahomes

I had no action on this game but I really don’t want to hear about Chris Paul being a top 5 point guard all time. Maybe top 15 but no way top 5. Ten points in an elimination game at home when his team had the best record in the league this year. Cmon now…

He still pulls some bush league shit though. Everybody knows it's coming so he doesn't get away with it as much.

@Midnight1

 He turns it on then off. 29 pts then 5. He’s too good to do that. Don’t let his age fool you he’s a game fixer. This game they lose regardless I guess I mean look at it. But he’s taken a dive before. He was what 33 or so playing the warriors able to close out and sit out cause of a thigh bruise I mean good fuvkinggg Grief that’s pathetic and obvious. There is such thing as fixing in sports look at some old nfl players that played 12-15 years ago they talk about it like Larry johnson. He is too good. Today the only reason he got ten is he scored like 3 shots last three drives he touched the ball towards the end of the game before he was let rest cause they were down 40. After the first loss I talked about this. That expression sucks imo also I wasn’t pissing on his grave. But imo he is a fake competitor when it really matters. All about the money 

You think he's too good but he's not. He's 37. He has looked old for the past few seasons. He was able to utilize a lot of "gamesmanship" on both ends of the floor in years past that the league has cracked down on this season. He used to push off to create space on almost every drive and jumpshot. The league in calling more offensive fouls now across the board but especially on known egregious offenders like Chris Paul and Giannis. You take the ability to extend the arm to create space and you have a sub 6 foot guard with 37 year old legs. He isn't elevating over anyone nor is he exploding to the hole.

On defense, Paul has always been known to defend his position well but again, he has always been handsy. They are calling a lot of that fouls now, as they always should have. You take away his ability to be handsy and all you have is a 37 year old sub 6 foot defender. There aren't really any good 6 foot defenders in the modern era. You need length to be a great NBA defender. Even a guy like Pat Bev, who is slightly longer than Paul, isn't what I'd call a great defender. He's a pesky defender. A nuisance. An annoyance.

As far as scoring 30, that's an anomaly for Paul. That's never really been his game, even in his youth. He's a traditional distributor/facilitator point that can at times give you 30, but isn't meant to be the primary scorer a la Steph Curry, nor be a distributor/1a or 1b scoring option a la someone like a Steve Nash.

Jason Kid said in his post game interview, as BB spoke to, that the plan was to make him work at both ends of the floor. And they did. It's funny, it really was the tail of two leaders. Outside of Paul, Phoenix is actually the younger team. Dallas is full of 30 year type guys. Dinwiddie. Powell. Finney-Smith. Bertens. Kleber. Yet they looked young, fast, and loose all series. It starts with their young leader. Phoenix looked so old and slow at times this series, with the exception of Bridges, who's always flying around, but also inconsistent offensively.

Paul is old. He looked old. Phoenix exploited it. It was the Sun's undoing. Except for Booker, that isn't a team set up for guys to be getting their own shots. They need a point to run that offense. And their point is technically old enough to be a grandfather. I dead ass know grandfather's his age.

Do you even understand the game of basketball? Do you even follow the NBA, or do you tune in around playoff time and say that guys are shaving because you don't even understand what you're watching?

@jgjtrapboss

 Also, if he's a fixer, what's the point in sitting out a game? He could just play and suck. Do you even read and the things you're writing and contemplate their merit? If they are logical? Have you ever had a deep bone bruise? It's not like what you may be thinking. Like a superficial bruise. That shit could put a dude on crutches. How old are you?
