His last 3 close-out games in Houston 15-8-5 37% shooting (UTH 2019) DNP (Hamstring) (GSW 2018) DNP (Hamstring) (GSW 2018) We just got unlucky man.
LeBron is letting CP3 use his "stash" since he's not in the playoffs. $1m a year on....gym equipment.
It might be the worst trade in NBA history. Has any team traded an absolute haul of draft picks for an obviously worse player?
Because it wasn't a close-out game, it was an elimination game. I interpret close out to mean "when you can close the other team out" - not "win or go home" I don't know what the tweet is counting but that's how i interpret the term
We hash this out every time CP3 has a great game. Harden was the Houston Franchise, whatever he wanted they got it for him. Harden didn't care enough about CP3 to stop Tilman from his buffoonery. Harden hated CP3 and was fine with the trade.. it is what it is.. I still blame Harden. shrug*
He had a great close out game against the Jazz to get past the 2nd round. https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/201805080HOU.html
How come Tilman wouldn’t spend for a championship team? Harden wanted LTS too? Harden was recruiting Butler to join him and CP3 that summer…Harden initially wanted Russ to join him and CP3 from Morey’s own mouth that’s not the actions of someone who wanted CP3 out by any means
F-k off dude. I'm just responding to the Tweet, which seems to be interpreting "close out" the same way as me, unless you think the Suns got a "W" in the last game of the 2021 Finals. Did they?
Nah it’s typical cf and whatever fits the agenda conveniently. You’re all seemingly mad at cp3 when you should be mad at the dumbest owner in the league. Like I said hou has an armchair cf’s member as an owner
Masterclass performance by cp3. Couldn't miss, 33 pts and 8 assist. I feel bad for the pelicans, their franchise looking bright but could even shine brighter if zion can control his weight and actually contribute Onto the next one. Looking like Dallas vs suns no?
I didn't do the original tweet, nor invent the definition of close-out game. i' m glad you learned something- even if it was not on my nightly agenda. Elimination Game for team X =/ Close Out Game for team X (unless it's a game 7) ^Handy rule to remember. Maybe you need to bookmark this in Netscape Navigator for future reference
Harden hated CP3. Didn't fight for CP3 to stay. that is really the long and short of it. You really think if Harden was happy with CP3 he would have still asked about Russ who plays the point gawd's same position? come on guys, Harden gave Tilman an out and Tilman ran with it.
I couldn’t careless about the tweet. The random probably doesn’t even know himself. At the end of the day games that are win or go home all matter and selective agendas don’t apply in your case where you don’t even count his last game as a rocket where he was great.. Who gives af what someone calls it. You’re probably so bitter cause you were one of the ones who thought westbrick was so great
