who are those people tho... im pretty sure the consensus was he can't be your second best player on championship team. 2. he always hurt when u need him the most 3. old like know what thought cp3 a hof would fall off a cliff lmao. this is what i expected. a 7 8 seed
CP3 has made a team that was supposed to be in the lottery into a 7-8 seed. come on now. If consensus is CP3 can't be the second best player on a championship team, I think that's silly. Censuses should be that MDA and Harden weren't willing to accommodate CP3 for his short comings. CP3 is always hurt because MDA's system puts the full weight of the team on him in ISO. People keep saying that he gets paid to do that and I keep saying, I don't care how much he is getting paid.
yup, that's sacral contusion based on press. dun't want any elite players of league leaving the game like that, as frank vogel said 'keep finger crossed' for AD. any loss or injuries of elite players gonna change combat situation of post-season, say nets w/o KD and Irving, makes Est much more predictable. (actually, in nyk vs lal, there are at least 2 hard faults occurred, one on AD, the other on KCP. young NYK is changing back to LAL hater. )
there's plenty of them. it's not like there's more than enough threads to find em. you're likely one of them now that I think about it
The age of analytics brought a focus on advanced metrics to counteract dependency on raw statistics and the "eye test". But the problem with that are that many intangibles are just not measurable but are still critical to team success - including chemistry and leadership. My biggest fault with the Rockets and the front office is that they have completely discounted these things in the pursuit of marginal changes in team efficiency. That's fine for a fantasy team - not for a team with real human beings. I think the Thunder are definitely getting their money's worth out of CP3 and are extracting infinitely more value out of him than the Rockets would have and far more than they would have gotten out of Westbrook. I too thought he was washed, but he clearly isn't. But most importantly, he is teaching a team of very talented young players how to win. He is less likely to wear out his welcome there like he did with Harden. By the time any of those players become sure-fire hall of famers and bristle at Paul's leadership style, he will be retired. It's too bad that he and Harden couldn't coexist. The Rockets are hugely successful because of Harden's absurd talents, but he couldn't lead a group of blind mice out of a wet paper sack. Leadership skills are just not in his personality. The Thunder are scary right now. They are competing for the playoffs while in "rebuilding mode" along with an absurd number of first round draft picks and a stable of highly talented young players. They are the anti-rockets - assets and a devil-may-care attitude about the luxury tax (just to note - every one on earth thought they would wave some kid no one ever heard of by yesterday to get under the luxury tax threshold - they didn't).
wqit so u dont think a team that had cp3 galo shay adams schroder n them guys couldnt make the playoffs when the clips did last year lol. please man thats silly. i mean cp3 is a hof lol clips made it without a hof or a allstar...stop bro. n how is that silly. thats facts. he cant n he wont. at tgis stage if he ur 2nd best player u aint winning a ring. most people here was fine having cp3 be here if butler came...u know making cp3 the 3rd best plqyer. if u thibk a team could win in this nba with cp3 as ur 2nd best player idk whqt to tell u. obviously u bias or just dont know basketball
lol ill bet u a thousand dollqra im not. bro i was one of the ones who knew cp3 would work here. stop. go ahead try to find it. i dare u lol. im the guy that said yall was idiots for making it seem like house was playing a dangerous game lmao im the guy that told yall russ is better then this cp3 even with the early season struggles due to injurys search my name bro...i know basketball
he actually was playing a dangerous game. the difference in what he was offered and what he ended up getting, wasn't worth sitting out a 1/3rd of the season. but if your main focus is the contract that he got anyway rather then actually trying to win games then kudos to you and you can think russ is better all you want. that's your own opinion. people that have to constantly tell everyone else "i know basketball" well you may not know as much as you think if you have to keep saying it
oh lord. See lmao. the whole point was people saying house was making a mistake. how does is winnim ng have any thing to do with House securing his future the best he can lmao. thats called being a homer. ima die hard roclets fan. but this a business all the smart fans know that. people was upset cause u wany a guy to giv3 ur hometown team a discount...but u aint taking a discount at ur job thats dumb thats the whole point. make agruements n takes that make sense not hopes n dreams. i have to keep saying i know basketball cause its obvious alot on here dont. i mean to act like its a surpise cp3 is good lmao. when people on here aint the only people that was like yea russ is a upgrade. im no hey lets follow the media. but even guys there saying it was the right move. if u took a poll majority wpuld say yess u had a guy that was injury prone. n old. for a guy ypunger n not injury prone. one thsts also a hof n has a mvp. cp3 can be jordon...if he never healthy then its pointless.
how does winning have anything to do with House? Considering the rockets lacked actual depth, I'd say it has a lot to do with it. have you seen his contract? it isn't exactly much in terms of what's actually out there in this era of the league what in the world does a poll do? nothing. if you took a poll of the melo acquisition last summer it was an overwhelming approval. dude was trash for this team
oh lord u not getting it. man took a bet on hiself to get paid n guaranteed more than what Morey was offered him at first n like u are saying we needed the depth....aka we needed him. so why was people saying he wqs playing a dangerous game lol when its clear the rockets was trying to luxury tax save him..but its was clear he had the roxkets by the ball...hence not playing a dangerous game. actually negotiating smartly. i mean it was obviously a smart move for house to do. but people was blinded by dumb homerism. just one of my grinders. fans mad at a player for taking the most money they can. sure i want guys to take discounts for my team. but people was litterly mad at this man lol. for doing something they wouldnt do at their jobs.
nah you're not getting it. I already mentioned the difference in guaranteed money he got wasn't worth sitting 1/3 of the season for.
This is basically the Boston Celtics from like, 2-3 years ago. Hope OKC doesn't screw this up like Boston did. If everything goes right, OKC *should* be atop the West for a long time, in about 3-4 years.
