    Looks like he didnt shake many hands at all. It is a tough moment.

    They said he had a BJ appointment with LeBron. He couldn’t be late to that.

    CP3 is nothing but a flopping dirty cheap shot punk. He choked in the last couple of minutes of the game, and like a punk walked off the court and cried like a punk at the press conference.

    It's disappointing how Rocket fans bash CP3 now that he's not on the team. He gave us the single best year the team has had in 20 years.

    I kind of doubt either player was seeking out the other for a handshake.

    And does anyone really think Harden would have sought out Lu Dort or Chris Paul if his team lost the game? Come on.

    He did go over to the Rox bench and talked to the coaches since it was on that side if the court, but yeah, not a great display of sportsmanship/professionalism.

    I don't hold it against CP3. There are things I don't like about him for sure. But this I don't hold against him. It's an emotional game and it had to be hard on him to lose this at age 35.

    It had to be really bitter to be traded away. He had a stinker of a season the last year but a lot of that was due to recovering from hamstrings. It's just so sad how injuries have held him back.

    Nah, he def shied away from that FT Gallo missed and the last play wasn't going to him. If that were Harden doing the same we'd all be ripping him. Plus the missed bunny and the near turnover on the Harden block.

    Harden wouldn't have shaken CP3's hand either had the Rockets lost, let's be fair here.

    Would not be surprised at all if he end up on the lakers next year.

    Chris Paul is a great player but it really is sad how he has to continue to do his cheap antics. He flops, whines, mocks, hits people in the nuts, and throws shade in post game interviews. Like you're a great player bro, why do all that extra crap? And then to top it off he walks off the court without even dapping up Harden.

    Chris Paul gets all this praise for being this leader and clutch player so in the 4th quarter when he disappeared that was the best thing i've watched all year.

    Nothing gives me more satisfaction that seeing him sulking in the post game interviews.

    Have a good vacation Chris, maybe in the next few years you can ride someone's coattails to a championship. Until then keep making those state farm commercials bud.

    It really is sad man. And I guarantee you a lot of these guys would drop Westbrook in a heartbeat to have Cp3 from two years ago back.
