Paul lost this with his pathetic display of playmaking

    Rockets are now back to being a 1 man team. CC is soft. CP3 is a bum. Gordon is okay but not a 2nd option.

    BUT HE DIDNT. not only did he not do it, he didn’t even look like he wanted to do it.

    Some people will never doubt harden no matter how many head scratching clutch situations he completely disappears. More power to them. Ignorance is bliss I guess.

    And yes, CP3 is a total liability too. But Harden is our MVP, not CP3. If Harden won’t take control of it no one will do it for him. Enough w the excuses.

    pretty sure CP0 had more offensive fouls on him than assists, sure looked like it

    Chris Paul will bounce back. Does he have enough gas in the tank for two games, though? Not sure.

    CP3 has obviously lost a step or two and his outside shooting has left him. He still plays with guile and cleverness and makes his share of great hustle/defensive plays. Sort of Kyle Lowry type, now.

    CP3 has 2 more games to redeem himself, don't expect capela to be useful at all this series. If we win he will make an impact against the nuggets but will go back to being useless against the bucks, too one dimensional unfortunately.

    The Warriors were consistently doubling James in the fourth and Harden was giving it to Paul to make a play but sadly Paul just is not that guy anymore on a continues basis.

    Chris Paul was 3-14 FG, 0-6 3P in #HOUvsGSW Game 5 for a 21.4 eFG% - the worst he's had in a playoff game in his career.

    And somehow people will blame Harden for not getting the win. He was clearly gassed.
    Clint is just another story. Dude is just soft. No championship hussle in this guy

    You guys should just lower your expectations. Chris Paul is a role player now. Not a superstar who can take over games.

    If morey doesn't make a move this off season and acquire star type level (butler or someone similar) player then we are absolutely ****ed without a doubt.

    CP3 is playing for money.

    Once he gets money, he is disappeared.

    I seriously dont know, maybe trading some of the assets, but who ? Maybe Gordon and tucker!!! And ofcourse we dont have capspace. We've all seen what morey is capable of, but man if we dont win this series, this team's future is in doubt.

    Tucker and Gordon for Butler? That’s way to much to give up

    doesnt even matter if we win this series. bucks are on a tear. irving shot 25% or something from the field, what do you think old ass paul is gonna do. also u can expect foster back to ensure the new darlings of the NBA Bucks get a championship. morey ****ed up with CP3 and now harden aint gonna get any rings.

    he doesnt need to takeover, but has to do better than 3-14. this is the type of loss that defines legacies man. if the rockets dont advance in this series they will rightfully hang it over their heads for the rest of their careers.

    It’s beyond horrific at this point. Didn’t they learn anything from Paul’s horrific finish in game 3?
