The time for New Orleans fans to show gratitude to Chris Paul (and even Anthony Davis…though it’ll be a while) is after they retire, not when they’re the lead antagonizer of hated opponents.
Paul’s jersey should be in the rafters, and the story of him saving NBA in NO is real. – 10:29 AM

Jose Alvarado would’ve been well within his rights to punch Chris Paul in the mouth….and it would’ve been the fault of the officials. CP pulled that stunt well within eyesight. He should’ve been ejected on the spot. But if Jose reacts, then he’s the one losing bread. – 11:21 PM
