Chris Paul once again had another solid game off the bench. The warriors bench throughly out scored the pelicans bench. He ran the offense perfectly and only had 1 TO to go along with his 5 assists. He led the warriors bench in +/-. It’s safe to say Chris Paul is a strong contender for 6moty.

The difference between him as a 6th man and Poole as a 6th man for this team is otherworldly.

[–] ShittyDentalPlan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Not sure why they booing him.

Can’t believe I’m rooting for CP3 a few months after I was celebrating when they lost in the playoffs

[–] MagicalHurdles@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nice game tonight Chris

[–] DefiniteSauce12@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Too good for the bench

[–] splash3000@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Warriors have never had a playmaker like this run the offense while Curry is on the bench

[–] Apprehensive-Tea-39@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I can't believe people didn't think one the smartest and best playmakers in league history wouldn't fit on this team

Dude those 2nd stringer minutes at the end of the 3rd where we actually extended the lead had me giddy. We were always hoping for another guy to replace what Iggy and Shaun brought to the team and CP3 is doing all that and then some. Kinda weird rooting for this man ngl

Remember how much people clowned the trade

[–] Tonmber1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wtf I love Chris Paul now

[–] yanansawelder@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's wild that CP3 may be the missing piece to unlock Curry even further by allowing more rest

He's point God for real, controls the pace and makes all wise decisions on court while mentoring thr kids like Moody and Podz. Definitely a huge win for warriors to trade someone with such high BBIQ

Bro would've probably won a ring already if he could just stay healthy

[–] GillbergsAdvocate@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cheering for CP3 makes me feel dirty

[–] BUUAHAHAHA@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cp3 leading the bench is what we had hoped from Poole.

[–] ImTheBestNerd@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Our bench looks so much better under him holy shit

[–] need2peeat218am@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Brah it reminds me of CP3's run when he was with that young OKC team. He literally elevated the whole team it was kinda crazy to see.

[–] Cul_what@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Warrior fans are gonna be like "I hate him but he's doing amazing with us so I also love him" all season long with a confused boner lmao

[–] dawalrusine@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Warriors actually has a stable presence on the bench this season

[–] Goodisworthfighting4@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Going from Poole to CP3 is like going from the kid who is on academic probation to someone working on obtaining their 4th PHD.

[–] TheMartian2k14@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

CP killing it. Moody doing big things. The team is in the + with Steph off the floor. They’re starting the season HOT.

[–] barstoollanguage@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

CP3 6th man

[–] megatrope@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

this is really weird to say “Warriors guard Chris Paul 6th man candidate”

[–] Dudedude88@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Is he making Klay better ?

[–] Outside_Narwhal_5127@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Can’t believe some people thought this would be bad for the Warriors.

[–] Tearz_in_rain@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This has been great to watch so far. Having a starter as talented and smart as CP3 come in off the bench to maximize the output of the reserves is such a HUGE advantage.

It really does change the dynamic of this team in a positive way.

[–] Refurbished_Keyboard@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Honestly what he brings in stability and ball security to this team makes me think they could set another win record if A) they remain healthy and B) they go for it. But with their age they will want to manage their health and they are the favorites to win everything IMO.
