    CP3 still wasn't the answer. He had plenty of poor games last season..... and he's been pretty injury-prone for the past 3 to 4 years. The only difference between CP3 and Westbrook is CP3 can't be left open for a 3pt shot so it makes it harder for the other team to guard Harden.

    If only Westbrook could shoot, he would be one of the best players in the league. He'd be scary to play against. But because he can't shoot, he's pretty easy to guard. All the other team has to do is pack the lane and let him shoot the ball.

    Did you punt last year or what? I didn't, I watched the entire season, CP3 was done and father time is undefeated.

    Watched the entire season, we were a much better team last year then we are this year. CP3 isn't done, he's still better than WB and I believe will be better then WB for the rest of his career.

    We'll CP3 is gone so either support the Rox or go support your boy on OKC. In the meantime, Harden, Russ, Morey, etc... got a season to get through with or without your support.

    Both players are trash to ask Harden to carry.

    CP3 is in a freefall decline since his playoff injury, Westbrook is also in heavy decline even though he's a couple years younger.

    Harden deserves a PG or AD to match alongside him but time after time again, we're left with the washed superstar who only performs for 1 good year before a steep decline.

    Even Bradley Beal would be amazing alongside Harden. He just has to bea star before age of 30 and not injury prone.

    Ppl still have hope for this team because they don't care about winning the finals, just want to see a playoff team that ends up going nowhere. How many decades of bball we gotta watch until we set our expectations to the finals instead of another pretender. Two decades and this team still hasn't made it back to the finals.

    I support the Rockets, but we made a disastrous trade. WB is trash, Morey/Harden/Tilman made a GIANT mistake that has crippled our future.

    Sounds like you are.

    I'm all in, full support, anticipating what Morey, Harden, Russ, and crew can do this season.

    Your own words... you're on TEAMCP3, not Team Morey, Harden, Russ. If you want to keep b****ing fine, I'll leave you be but just know CP3 is gone and he 'aint coming back.

    #Team CP3 is my personal protest movement against the WB trade. It doesn't mean I wish the season to be canceled, or that I won't support the team.

    I'm just going to keep calling out that disastrous trade as long as it affects the team.

    #TeamCP3.

    Honestly CP's season is a bit misleading. He's shooting slightly better on 3's but the reason his efficiency has gone up is mostly due to FT's. When we asked him to step up last year he just couldn't do it. For 6 games in the playoffs. With Jerebko/Looney guarding him.

    Still regret the trade though. It'd be a lot easier to retool moving forward with CP's deal + the picks instead of Russ.
