Bye Felicia. Didn't like you in New Orleans , Didn't like you with the Clippers …. don't like you now that you are no longer a Rocket. Can we get PatBev back please ? I feel robbed.
The first year he was here, he was a real game changer. He made that team one of the all time best teams. He helped bring the rockets ever so close to an nba finals appearance. I hated Chris Paul before he came to the rockets. But that season he did so many things that I loved, it helped me change my opinion about him. He didn’t play so well last season for whatever reason, but I will always respect what he did that first season. I will continue to like him and wish him well on the rest of his career
Winning player? Wouldn’t call him that. As a person he was great, but as a player he gave us one great season and that’s it so there’s little for me to miss. He’s not a Rocket legend who’s been here for quite some years, it’s been 2 years of which 1 forgettable and unfortunately that was recent and key to us losing. He’s the same player we couldn’t stand on the Clippers for flopping, exaggerating, whining to refs etc. so he was far from a favourite for me. I learned to appreciate him, but happy he’s gone now.
Should've signed when we were recruiting him and Dwight. If he had done that, we'd have easily beaten Portland in 5 or 6 and nobody would've been in our way to stop us. I'll miss CP3. Short tenure, and it sucks that I lived out of town for his tenure, too. Only caught a couple playoff games of first year CP3 in person. But hopefully I'll be there to witness the Beard x Brodie era, even if they underwhelm. There will be lots of big dunks lol
But he is though? Almost Every statistical metric even now has him as a net positive on the floor. He gave us one phenomenal season like one of the best in rockets history and one “just good season” That one season here means a lot. I love how you just disregard it like that, what garbage. Oh wow. All players do that, yea Cp does it more than most but his drive to win was more than anyone else in this league. If you are happy he’s gone then don’t post such a classless post in this thread. It’s not for you.
Chris should have his jersey retired by Houston on opening night. He is one of the greatest Rockets of all time, and a future HOF. I miss him. He was slowing down unfortunately.
Thanks Chris Paul for giving us one of the best seasons in Rocket history. One freaking hammy..... I still think you are better than Westbrook. People love the flashiness. I like the craftiness.
The second hall of framer basically ended his career in such a sad way playing with Harden. A third one is coming up and projecting to follow the same tragic path.
I can’t wait to see the next series of the States Farm commercials on his feeling of his last 2 years. Don’t worry Chris, I can fix this.
I would feel bad for CP if he had actually taken concessions on salary and allowed the team more flexibility in rounding out the roster and you know didnt get hurt all the damn time. He showed up 2 years late. But he got his FAAAAAT contract, in the end I think that was the most important thing for him and competing for a ring was secondary. Now he can go dickride Lebron and see how far that gets him.
