Refs favor LBJ over Har and CP3, a fact. There is no discussion with you as you have made up your mind about something that never happened. Rockets never made the Finals that year. Even if Cavs were the underdogs, they have ship experience. You remember Harden disappeared in the Finals against the Heat? Things like that happen.
Thing is that they did very well securing first seed but neither the Wolves nor Jazz were really contenders. The first real test and CP3 goes out, they choked away a 3-2 lead at home, how can you trust them with their historic bad shooting in the clutch?
CP3 alone won us decisive games against GSW and the Jazz in the clutch, there was always the possibility of an injury, I just do not trust the others that much. I think we have a right to question their clutchness sans Paul.
YOLO is funny because if we we win a championship in 6 games this year, he’ll say we would have won in 5 with CP3. His beliefs aren’t rooted in fact, so there’s no point in arguing with him. You’ll never convince someone that has no eye test and doesn’t understand how statistics work. There’s literally no point. More relevant question. Is YOLO actually DD 2.0?
idk about more assisted, but there was a stat showing james is getting easier shots than last year. he was in the top 10 of players getting more wide open looks than the previous year along with several milwaukee buck players.
no doubt harden and the rest of the offense is better with Russ. harden doesn't have to deal with the teeth of the defense coming at him once he crosses mid court and can conentrate on what he does best. score. assist. like coach says, if russ hits his shots, its a bonus. I've come to accept his liabilities given how better we are with him.
I love Chris Paul more than most on clutchfans but the reason this team isn’t as good has nothing to do with Westbrook or CP3. It has more to do with us not replacing Ariza and Luc. If we had that kind of production from our sf position this year and the ability to realistically play small we would be just as good or better. And have multiple defenders who can switch.
No, had CP3 not been hurt the Rockets would have won the title. The almost beat the Warriors without CP3.
I wasn’t really saying why this team isn’t as good as the 65 win team, just that it isn’t. There is no doubt not having Ariza and Mbah are a big part of the reason. Paul’s defense is sorely missed as well though.
this isn't a one way street. it's complete garbage how some of you show disrespect. be careful of what? you're not anybody to be giving out threats.
This is the best answer, in my opinion. All this bickering right now is pointless. Let's see what difference WB makes in the playoffs since that's when Chris fell short last year and was judged the harshest.
nope. Harden is the player he is. I'm not gonna act like harden is all of a sudden this completely different player
that's funny. for someone with a brand new join date, you shouldn't even know who BtG is. This pretty much confirms others of your now burner cause you probably were that bad previously
