    CPIII . . . Lu Dort . I know you would like to have it happen . . . JUST ONCE. - by JAMES Ingram

    I did my best
    But I guess my best wasn't good enough
    'Cause here we are back where we were before...
    Seems nothing ever changes
    We're back to being strangers
    Wondering if we oughta stay
    Or head on out the door...
    Just once
    Can we figure out what we keep doing wrong?
    Why we never last for very long
    What are we doing wrong?
    Just once
    Can we find a way to finally make it right?
    To make the magic last for more than just one night
    We could just get to it
    I know we could break through it
    H-m-m-m-m
    I gave my all
    But I think my all may have been too much
    Lord knows we're not getting anywhere...
    Seems we're always blowing
    Whatever we got going
    And seems at times with all we've got
    We haven't got a prayer...
    Just once
    Can we figure out what we keep doing wrong?
    Why the good times never last for long
    Where are we going wrong?
    Just once
    Can we find a way to finally make it right?
    Make the magic last for more than just one night
    I know we could break through it
    If we could just get to it just once...
    I want to understand
    Why it always come back to goodbye
    Why... can't we get ourselves in hand?
    And admit to one another
    We're no good without each other
    Take the best and make it better
    Find a way to stay together
    Just once...
    Can we find a way to finally make it right?
    Whoa
    Make the magic last for more than just one night
    Know we could break through it
    If we could just get to it
    Just once...
    Whoa
    We could get to it...
    Just Once...

    I swear, half of CP's value probably comes from him manipulating the officials and out thinking everyone else on the floor. He's the best small guard floor raiser in NBA history, IMO.

    It's really amazing man....he might the best pound for pound basketball player ever and I'm not even exaggerating. I just wish he didnt have a down year man....I really miss him on this team so much.

    I tried my best to ignore it because it was just CP being CP but holy cow..he took his flopping to yet another level this game.

    His shenanigans and flopping game will always be on point, and in fact, age like fine wine.

    Watching CP3 cry in the post game interview was incredibly satisfying.... hearing “We we we tried”.... go **** yourself CP3.

    After nut-shotting multiple Houston Rockets, we still have guys in here crying to have CP3 back and proclaiming their undying love. Gross.

    It's a competition man, yea it was dirty and no I didnt like it. But I can still appreciate him as a basketball player. He's still better than Westbrook who's clearly not better than him.

    It’s a competition, eh? That’s what you are going with? :rolleyes:

    Many NBA point guards are better than a rusty Russ. If you had watched him for the last 6 months, it should be obvious that he is not himself.

    No, forsure, many many props to them. They overachieved and played one hell of a very, very tough series.

    They have a bright future.
