ClutchFans Game Thread: Rockets @ Sixers 11/27/2024

Never said Morey was powerless. I said Tilman hated the Paul contract and bragged about shipping him out. This has been verified by Tilman in various interviews. Facts are facts.

putting links doesn't disprove anything I said.

Chris Paul has been a failure his entire career every team that got him traded him away or sent him packing after celebrating like mad. Choke god at his best.

 

I disagree completely, not every All Star is a scoring threat.

If you only see the NBA as a Mamba or Jordan killer league where nobody is passing, good boring luck!

CP3 established himself as a Facilitating guy and a developer of talents, he developed Shai Gilgeous....or he helped massively.

He made David West an All Star, David West!!!

He made Blake Griffin relevant........without CP3 Blake was just a super bouncey dude.

 

Basketball is not for small people, there is only a handful or two handfuls that did it and folks are biatchin like crazy.

 

seeing KJ martin on the sixers made me kind of missed his plays. lol

this dude tried to dunk every chance he got when he was with the rockets. SOME NASTY WORK! one of the few bright spots during the doo doo days.

he and alpi had some crazy chemistry and connections.

 

Cp3 is a good role player but he was paid like a superstar for most of his career. You said it yourself the NBA is not for small dudes and Cp3 is smaller than most I dont think he is even 6'1. Maybe 6'1 in shoes or something IDK.

Crediting SGA who has turned out better than Cp3 ever has to Cp3 is an insult to SGA.

You are right nobody knew who Blake Griffin was. He was only the most hyped rookie since Lebron but you are right he just a bouncey dude till Cp3 got there.

 

Memphis and Dallas are back in the hunt (Dallas due to the rise of Quentin Grimes and Kyrie looking like he was the Cavs Kyrie)

Memphis one game behind, Dallas 2 games behind.

 

Only on Clutchfans will you find a post saying Chris Paul was just a role player. How is it even possible to watch enough basketball to participate in a basketball message board and hold that opinion? Hell, how was it possible to watch CP3 one year and then Russel Westbrook the next and not see which style of play is more valuable?

The baseball equivalent is an A’s fan thinking Mark McGwire was the best player ever because he was a Bash Brother while Ricky Henderson was a short little utility man who walked a lot.

 

They are bitter that he did not bring a title....happens.

 

Looking forward to a tough fought victory tonight! I am ready for my game day thread for OKC.

 

Just found my old Yao Ming Celebriduck. Very neat.

 

If Cp3's style of play is SO VALUABLE why does he have 0 rings and the most blown 2-0 leads in NBA history? Oh yeah Cp0 was SO VALUABLE in 2019 lol did you even check his stats vs WB???? Houston couldn't even beat GSW with half their guys gone and Steph Curry with a dislocated finger omg Cp0 was so valuable there.

If Cp3's style of play is SO VALUABLE why does WB have an MVP and he doesn't? Why did both of them reach the Finals? Why is WB playing on a contender and why is Cp3 playing on the Spurs with a 20 yr old Wemby?

Cp3 is just a role player. Everywhere he has been where he is the main guy his teams have disappointed. The one time he reached the Finals he played like trash. The two years he had in Houston he either got injured or played like a scrub. That's a role player. No matter how much he is paid (overpaid) or how many All stars he made (just a popularity contest) he is a role player and his accomplishments in the playoffs prove that multiple times.Even his mindset is a role player, choosing 10M over a ring.

Jrue Holiday has proven more effective than him when it matters most. If we had Jrue Holiday in 2018 over Cp3 we might've beat GSW.

 

i'll be convinced if we can pull it off tonight.

wish we could get some consistency from the offense.

 

Is there an open game thread for tonights game vs the Thunder? I can't find one...and if not, when can we expect it roughly?

 

What clutch shot? , Alperen Sengun Airball Last Second Shot against Philadelphia in the 4th Quarter, In overtime Alperen Sengun bricked OT he just made Tip in after every miss.

Against OKC Alperen Sengun fell down as usual but Dillon Brooks bailed out that big clumsy oaf.

 

Try a little harder to not look so stupid.
