VIDEO: Chris Paul Ruthlessly Booed by Warriors Fans Monday Night at Chase Center
By Michael Luciano
The Golden State Warriors haven't forgotten what Chris Paul did to them over the years, and they are letting the All-Star point guard have it as he made his Chase Center debut as a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder. Every single time Paul got the ball, a massive chorus of boos erupted, showing that the bad taste in the mouth of Dubs Nation hasn't gone away.
Well...what did you expect? Paul was a thorn in Golden State's side when the dynasty was emerging while CP3 was with the Clippers. When he moved on to the Rockets, the Kevin Durant-led Warriors frequently butted heads with Paul's Houston teams. Even in Oklahoma City, it doesn't seem that much has changed.
So what did Paul do to silence the crowd in San Francisco? Why hit a half-court buzzer beater to cut into Golden State's lead, of course.

Savvy move. This isn't Paul's first rodeo, so some boos from a team that is currently leaking coolant at an alarming rate, losing their stars to injury left and right, and eyeing the No. 1 overall pick isn't going to bother him.
