The Doin-Work team loves the “Told you so” moments, or at least the opportunity of it, hence our MLB predictions, followed by our NBA Playoff predictions for 2010. Speaking for just myself right now, I suck at the aforementioned “Told you so” moments, just skim through my past predictions as evidence.
But, my one “Told you so” prediction for the 2010-2011 NBA season is essentially a guarantee. Chris Paul was the guest on The NBA on TNT pre-game and halftime show during Game 2 of the Cleveland/Boston series tonight. Charles Barkley went on to tell Chris Paul to his face, that he no longer considers him the best point guard in the NBA, and that he is now second to Deron Williams of Utah. Now you can argue back and forth about the two, and which one is better, honestly, having the choice of either is a win-win situation, that’s not the point … but – CP3 has a fierce competitive edge to him. So when Barkley was telling him this, he was simply smiling, pretending to not be affected by his comments, but … as I was listening to, and watching this interaction between the two, I couldn’t help but focus on Chris Paul’s facial expressions, and sure enough, there was a bit of a scowl being held back.
So what I can guarantee you is this, Chris Paul is going to be an absolute beast next season. Watch. I can even guarantee this, he will finish second in MVP voting behind one LeBron James. Yes, three-peat is in the works for LBJ, and when this all unfolds, we here at Doin-Work will be the first to remind you … TOLD YOU SO.

I saw that too! I think Paul tried to play it off, but couldn’t quite do it! You could tell he was somewhat perturbed by Barkley moving him up on his list above Paul, and knowing CP3, he will work twice as hard this off season just knowing that there’s a few doubters out there. I wish he could do it with a different team…
I’m still bitter in MCeezy’s and my fantasy keeper league. I pretty much traded Amare for DWill about a year ago around the trade deadline, and it got vetoed! BS to this day I tell you that was a completely fair trade!

That’s why “Inside the NBA” is the best show on television.
Here’s hoping CP3 comes back next season 100%.
He still can’t do it all by himself though. You have to have teammates that can put it in the basket to rack up numbers in the assists column.

Well, atleast he has Thorton now! He’s looks better than Peja at this point! Too bad they have basically no cap space to give CP3 help…
