    Out of shape? Do you train with him? CP3 does not seem like the type to be unprepared. Hes switched to a vegan diet, he was the oldest player to ever record a playoff triple double yesterday. He has had minor injuries throughout his career, whether that be due to genetics or the way he plays. The guy has never been afraid of contact. Lebron had a similar injury last year, do you think he was out of shape as well? He has had max money his entire career, so its not like he pulled a Chandler Parsons and said I finally got paid so let me coast.

    Also, I am guessing you've never been to Oklahoma.

    I obviously empathize with his pain on taking this L. However, I had a huge grin on my face when he walked off the way he did. No doubt it brought me joy.

    He wasn't gonna win **** this year anyway, what he thought he had enough to take this OKC team to WCF? Not a ****ing chance.

    And all these CP fans repeating into my ear, including the ****ing announcers like Mark... telling me over and over again that OKC ranks top in clutch points and winning in clutch situations.

    I am glad they can shut the **** up for the upcoming days raving on about Chris Paul.

    Here's one thing people forgot to mention, if they had won CP3 would have tried to shake everyone hand, that is what punks do, when they win they want to smile up in your face, but when they loose they are the WORST Losers in the world.

    I generally agree with this but those quotes rubbed me the wrong way.

    Also nobody talks about his fitness level with Houston, it took getting traded to make him lose weight and become vegan.

    I loved CP3 when he was a Rocket, and I think he and Harden really played well together. I was not sad to see him go, however, because I was convinced he was breaking down and injury prone. I have been proven wrong on that front, to an extent.

    It is clear they didn't like each other, but that's tough because they were almost unstoppable when they were both healthy and on the court together.

    By the way, really satisfying knowing that CP3 won´t get a ring on the time he has left in the NBA. He only plays in the 4th, and still has years left.
    Good luck finding a contender willing to pay 40mil LOL

    But we knew he wasn´t about championships when he signed for this absurd contract.

    @ballsohard and @BallSoHarden arguing at the top of the page has got to be the most Clutchfans thing I've ever seen. Almost looks like the guy is replying to himself. :D

    People act like cp3 is some victim here. Rockets are the one that traded away their best role players and paid him the 40m(should be grateful) when he was already injury prone and past his prime.

    He gets injured in the critical close out games and then he didn’t show up last year and houston had to pay the price to get rid of him. Rockets are the real victims of cp3 if we really want to go there.

    cp you got paid and OKC and your new team loves you, not sure why u got this chip on your shoulder

    The no handshake thing doesn't bother me. I'm just glad that I don't have to see those damn state farm commercials with Carlton a million times during every one of our games anymore.

    I wish CP3 will acknowledge in press conference, how much Foster try to help OKC, but he even flopped that one too.

    This fan base and how it treats players that give their heart out is so ducking shitty. Right, you guys definitely called him dragging his team to the post season. He wasn’t even the number one option here.

    **** the classless morons here, embarrassing to be a rockets fan with these clowns

    Not worried about it.

    When union membership dues come, Chris will have one hand out to shake Harden’s hand....the other extended
    to collect the dues.

    It's a business he signed a max deal that made him eligible to get traded. If he signed on goodwill capital then he wouldn't be traded. Look at Rivers he signed for below market value he isn't gonna get traded. Tyson Chandler has no chance of seeing any play whatsoever but Morey still kept him on the team cuz he had offers elsewhere but chose to sign with Houston instead.

    If you treat the NBA as a business then its quid pro quo if teams treat you like a commodity as well. The moment he signed to a max deal he should be evaluated as one and unfortunately the Rox just found him wanting.
