NBA legend, Kevin McHale, joined The Usual Suspects and talked about Chris Paul having interest in the Houston Rockets, his thoughts on the new Celtics-Lakers ESPN 30 for 30 documentary, and the Warriors rolling over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

McHale has concerns that Chris Paul may not be a good fit in Houston because he and James Harden play with the ball in their hands most of the time. If James is able to come off picks and get more movement with Paul at the point, there could be some benefits.
