Cp3 is an even worse choker than Harden. Thats why the 2018 Rox never had a chance vs GSW it was led by the 2 biggest regular season superstars, playoffs chokers in recent memory. Injury or no injury something else would have happened.
@mods can we merge with the other legendary hardon thread? https://bbs.clutchfans.net/threads/...eam-in-the-league.315297/page-2#post-14024677
harden took all the efficient shots that he either airballed or were blocked...yanis(of all people) took the midrange and got the win...always forcing 3 or layup is unnatural and hes creating a lot of problems for himself
One positive I see for the Sixers is that Embiid's critical three was due to Harden sucking in his defender, so the two-man game worked well there. But when both Embiid and Harden were left to create on their own, they seemed to struggle to do so. It could be because they were gassed or maybe the defense was too good. I'm surprised Maxey wasn't integrated more into the offense sets to take the pressure away from Embiid and Harden. In that final stretch, Bucks played much better defense than the Sixers. Both Giannis and Holiday hit clutch shots, but they looked like they had better spacing. Harden looked like he was running into a forest of trees. Anyway, I think the Sixers are still a work in progress. And I think they can win a ring next season when Morey to gets more complementary pieces around his stars. But the question is whether their health will hold up like it did this year.
Hard to take you seriously when you say Rockets had NO chance when they were leading the series.. Cp3 did almost single handedly eliminate the Spurs from the playoffs with a fourth quarter for the ages. I knew if he could do that for the Rockets they could go all the way. Which he did up tell he got injured...
Yeah no evidence except pretty much every year he has been in the playoffs he has choked massively. This year he couldnt even wait to the playoffs got injured 2 months before the season ended. How many times has Cp3 had a higher seed or better record and then lost in the playoffs?
Almost is never enough, thats what chokers do. Remember when Cp3 Clippers had 2-0 lead vs Dwight Rox? What happened there? They had no chance cuz even if they were leading the series they were gonna get overtaken and cough it up. What happened the year after that? No cousins amd kevon looney, injured klay, kd, steph and iguadala they still lost. Rox missed like 23 straight 3s, that kinda **** will keep happening cuz you got 2 chokers vs 3 stone cold killers on the other side. Cp3 ans Harden are great if yiu want regular season wins and a high seed. They're not the guys winning you a ring though.
The two minutes Paul Millsap spent "guarding" Giannis was more pivotal than anything that happened in the final...2:38
I can't believe me and Ros actually agree, but there is a ton of evidence to suggest Cp3 is a choker. Just look at how many times he has been bounced by lower seeds or giving up a 3-1 lead. I don't think that all of those loses can be mainly contributed to him, but if it was Harden or anybody else they would be considered as chokers.
Is there a difference between choker and not being a closer? I think CP3 is more of the latter than as a choker. Honest question.
All of those 2 minutes were in the highlights, I was amazed they had Millsap checking him that much and then found out it was only 2 minutes LOL. If they don't play Thybule they have some terrible wing matchups. The wing and guard matchups are a real weakness defensively for the 76ers.
watch the sixers make the finals this year bruh, and harden finna get the bag this summer just like deshaun Watson did. Them liberals gonna be even more pissed lol
Well ... other than that second-half when JSmoove led us to victory as CP3 piloted the worst playoff collapse in a G7 I've ever witnessed I love the guy and his game, but pretty telling his first Finals appearance came in his, what, 15th season ... He's the finest PG of his era, just like Harden at SG, but neither will ever lead a team to a ring, having both failed repeatedly on multiple teams For 1st-ballot HoF legends ... that's pretty much what choking looks like
Bro.....you gave a bunch of narrative statements without facts or context behind them. This isnt evidence at all. And none of you can prove otherwise.
visited the 76ers site....they pretty much dont think 76ers can get past 2nd round this year...and they all hate glen rivers...lolololol
First it was Ben Simmons. Next it’ll be Glenn Rivers. Glenn Rivers will be the fall guy. Then Fat Morey will have to hand over $240M to Fat Harden. And then in a year or two, Embiid will be requesting a trade.
