    He had that in Houston did **** with it for 2 years. If we had him and Crapela this series we prob lose to the Jazz in 7 instead. Look at his history in NO, LA and Houston it's always the same old song people just can't admit the Point God is just for regular season play.

    CP3 is best as a 3rd option, he can't be the 1B he can't even be the 2A.

    If he gave so much heart why did he and Cp3 ended up beefing? LOL How come Tucker plays with heart but Harden loves him instead?

    The problem here is CP3 just demands heart from others WB shows it through his actions. That's the difference between a boss and a leader the boss orders you around the leader does it first and then tells you to follow him. That's why Harden beefed with Cp3 but now readily acknowledges WB is the leader of this team.

    Cp3 hitting KD with his ass to prove a point to Scott Foster isn't showing heart, that's just pouting. LOL you stop making **** up I watched every single second of that series.

    lol

    Because net rating is not a predictive stat?

    It’s dependent on an outcome.

    The outcome of the score differential when you are on the floor.

    The bucks had a historic net rating in the regular season. And they don’t in the first two games of this series. So they are losing.

    So yes net rating takes in account just about everything that effects the score. The minutes Westbrook was on the floor we were losing. And it’s been like that all season. If Harden isn’t on the floor with Westbrook we are losing. That was not the case in either year with Paul.

    Don’t you understand that Westbrook coming off an injury so it’s “acceptable to have a down season” is part of the reason this was a fail? This is a habit for him. And it might be a habit for Paul. Which is why you prefer the shorter deal AND realize that year 1 of the let’s gamble on the younger guy to be healthy was a loss.

    You want to ignore the negative evidence we have in front of us and project future success to claim this trade a win. How does that work?

    And he "had a poor diet" sounds intelligent? o_O

    The guy's a professional athlete in his 30s. He should've figured that **** out years ago. Cry me a river.

    The truth is I loved CP3 in 2017-2018. He was a baller that year until his hammy gave out.

    Last season? After that long stretch when he was out and Harden went megastar, CP3 came back and seemed to hate playing second fiddle to someone having a transcendent season. That carried into the playoffs, where he pouted like a little b**** to his worst playoffs performance in years. Shot .270 from 3—.100 points lower than the previous year, and had nearly twice as many turnovers, too. It was obvious to anyone with eyeballs that he was unhappy with the situation in Houston, and well-substantiated rumors said it was about his role in the offense after he returned.

    Sorry I put you in a position to defend your man-crush, but my team is more important to me than any one player. And when I see someone sleepwalk through important parts of the schedule—especially the playoffs—I lose whatever respect I may have once had.

    The man had an off year due to a hamstring injury and another reinjury. He just proved to everyone that he was and is not done yet and could contribute to a championship team. He's smart, can still hit his shots, makes the right passes and is still a great leader. Chris paul was every part of that great 2017 to 2018 team. Harden didn't carry him they carried each other. Game 6 vs the Spurs is the reason why we had to get him in the first place and don't forget the Jazz series where CP helped us eliminate the Jazz. He is a competitive player and he is one you hate playing against but love when he is on your team. I could never wish ill will towards that man. If tilman actually spent money getting us a lengthy defender like Roco or kept ariza and found a proper replacement for Luc I believe Chris's results would have been diff last year.

    No reason to bring Melo into washed up Chris Paul thread.

    You missed me with the advanced metrics...If you WATCHED the series you'd know CP was the best player, especially when it counted

    He’s not washed…. But he can’t stay healthy/covid free…

    It was a terrible contract when we did it and still is. The correct answer “is good for CP3” but we should have never traded for him in the first place.

    The royal dumbassery I remember reading while getting into it with you never ceases to amaze me. Even now you're going to talk **** while covered in your own excrement.

    How we have people on this site that post for years but understand basketball so little at a fundamental level is ridiculous. On ignore you go now, you contribute nothing here. Did we get to the 3 year mark you said would "sort everything out" lol dumb****

    Congrats to CP3. He really looked terrible the last playoffs w the Rockets, quite the redemption ark. Shoutout to the people who defended him at that time, definitely some validation.

    Congrats sucks that he couldn't win one with us, but at least he has a very good chance now.
