    Here we are. Game 7. At Home. Injured CP3.

    Thoughts?

    I think Harden has the most to lose. The playoff choker label will be hung on him permanently. In which playoff games this season did he put the team on his back and carry them to victory? Without CP3 we likely would not be in a game seven.

    I voted no, the ones who voted yes clearly forgot where we started at the beginning of the season

    Game 1 vs Minnesota is a clear example. Considering the first two series were both
    4-1 I don’t see how you can hold any of those games against him. And we’re going into a game 7 against possibly the most talented team in the history of the league. The whole point of our front office is to put together a team where Harden wouldn’t have to carry them to victory. The media may play that narrative but they’re just hating.

    Yes, it would be considered a failure. With Paul and Harden healthy this team was on pace for ~70 wins.

    No. 65 wins, a 1 seed and pushing the Warriors to 7 with half of a Chris Paul is way more than I could have hoped for.

    Yes. We were built to beat the warriors and win the finals. This is the narrative Maury and co have been pushing if we do not complete the former then we fail.
