    How can you say we are cheap? We gave Paul 40 mil a year for 3 years? Now you don't hear all the Paul supporters saying anything now.

    Literally so morons like you will buy tickets thinking we are trying our hardest to win. Why do you think every player we try to get is a big name star even despite their talent at times? Butler? Melo? Im sure you can figure this one out

    No one is taking him without us gutting every asset. Certainly not with a big contract like Capela or Gordon attached.

    John Wall might be the only player in the league we can acquire for him, and what's the point of that? Go younger and dumber with a player less capable of playing off Harden and more likely to whine. Not to mention he just had major surgery and has one year more than Paul left on his contract.

    Sadly, at this point I still consider it if he verbally commits to playing within the offense and working on his shooting.

    Dude was starting to limp in the third quarter.

    I think that's why MDA sat him down

    You cannot use chris paul as evidence that the owner is in for a championship

    11/25 for 35/8/5 and 4 steals

    dont sit here and act like this game is on Harden when you have capela and gordon playing like that.

    Sure is on him. The game is 4 quarters not 2 or 3.

    11/25 is not good. Neither is 6 turnovers with 2 of those in the last 2 minutes.

    Too little, too late. He didn't contribute much these previous games. Let's face it, he's not worth his contract. Him taking that max has severely handicapped our ability to improve the roster. Paul doesn't care about winning a championship.

    Rockets took a gamble, and lost. They should have learned the lesson from Paul's history.

    For 40 million, I would expect 20-25 ppg, 10 assist in the series. If he averaged that, we would have won the series.

    Oh, so you are thinking they’ll definitely add a premier upcoming free agent with old man Lebron.....LOL right back at ya.

    When Ty Lue says no thanks, your organization is really in the dumps. At least we aren’t dysfunctional.

    That’s great. Like I said he showed up in the elimination game. The “mvp” didn’t. That says plenty to go along with his track record.

    He was already mentally off when he immediately missed 3 free throws at the start of the game

    Where was he in games 1-5? Gotta show up every game in every series. You're the highest paid player on the team.

    Who tf cares. Those games were done with. Guys who are up to the challenge step up. Cp3 played like it was an elimination game. The “mvp” didn’t. He isn’t that type of player. Y’all can continue to glorify him but he’s never going to win being the #1 guy. People make way too many excuses for harden. There are none tonight. It’s pathetic. Dude couldn’t even muster up a performance at home to force a game 7

    Curry and klay can struggle for games. Then when a guy like kd goes down they step up and take on the challenge. Can’t say the same for harden.
