    LOL... there is no way this is going to work to being the favorite to win it all.

    But hey, it takes courage to admit when you are wrong.

    In @J.R. post #31 of this thread. Video clip.

    Kenny mentions CP3 skill set being a waste and Chuck takes it from there saying it’s useless to the Rockets. 1:14 mark

    http://stats.nba.com/players/catch-shoot/?Season=2013-14&SeasonType=Regular Season

    Catch and Shoot from 3: Chris Paul
    (14/15): 42.2%
    (15/16): 43.6%
    (16/17): 45.2%
    (17/18): 40.0%

    I don’t think CP3 will like standing out at 3 while watching another guy just dribble the ball.
    Who said CP3 was going to do “just that?” Uh Kenny? You assumed. You and Chunkie lack
    the vision to be NBA analyst. If you are Houston....what is not to like about those catch and shoot numbers?
    You incorporate CP3 into your system some how. And they did.

    That’s what not believing in analytics gets you....looking stupid. The puzzle pieces have a better chance
    of fitting together when you understand statistics and how to use them to incorporate players
    into your system accordingly.

    At least his takes are real unlike Max Kellerman who's reading from a script that is suppose to be opposite of what Stephen A says

    I think Barkley is a moron.

    So, basically, we're doomed.

    A couple of steaks at Morton's did the trick.

    Actually... to Chuck’s credit, I remember when the Rockets lost game 1 of the semifinals to the Clips back in 15’ at home without CP3, he said forget game 1 the Rockets are gonna come back and win this series, he turned out to be right. Seemed like a total jinx when it looked like we were dead in the water during Game 6, but we all know how that turned out

    The only reason for the negative takes from Barkley before is that Les screwed him over by three million dollars

    If I screwed you over by three million bucks you wouldn’t say nice things about 99ers

    Did you not remember that Les had an agreement with Barkley to take a pay cut to sign Pippen??
    And that he'd get his salary at the end of another season?

    There's not enough money to give to the 99ers for all the years of Clutchfans enjoyment you non 99ers get

    You know what I would love to see, J.R.? That clip playing after the end of the WC Finals on the big screens of the Toy Box. Assuming we make it that far, and in the event that we advance to the Finals. Not counting my ducks before they quack.

    Have the announcer announce that, "There's a short video clip we'd like to show the fans before they leave to continue the party. So sit back, relax, have another beer, and be prepared to laugh out loud over the course of about 3 minutes. Thank you."

    Then play the sucker.

    iirc on opening night Charles said the Rockets would win 60 games. While everyone else was doubting CP3 + Harden and also saying how great the Thunder will be
