Is this the same Chris Paul that is averaging almost 14 points and 9 assists this season?

Did you see Paul's Alley Oop pass to Ayton late in the Timberwolves game last night?

Is there another Chris Paul?

Listen I hope I’m wrong but I think it’s pretty easy to see where this is going especially come playoff time when the schedule compresses and the games get way more physical.

I don't think many view Chris Paul as reliable or much of an option beyond this year, but replacing him is going to be difficult.

My guess is he is here next year too, simply because we won't have access to anyone better.

If everyone on the Suns is healthy in the playoffs, it's going to be harder than ever to wear one player down.

I think this was the Suns thinking when they traded for Kevin Durant.

Chris Paul's game at this stage of his career is his basketball smarts. It's not like he has to bring the ball down the court on every play.

T-Wolves lost their backup center Naz Reid. Really good backup big. Some Minnesota fans were saying Biz should’ve gotten a flagrant foul on that dunk attempt. I think it was just a hard foul with an unfortunate result. Wolves host the Lakers tonight.

His wrist broke when he hit the rim on the dunk. Biz's foul had no bearing on it.

I agree. But some fans are gonna stick up for their guy/player right or wrong. Especially officiating, which the Suns have been on the wrong side of.
