CP0: Most Playoff Games Without A Conference Finals Appearance

[DIMES]

Look at those teams you named though.

Grizzlies only made the Conference Finals once, the year they played the Clippers with Blake hurt and the Thunder with Westbrook hurt, then got swept by the Spurs.

Jazz ain't never made the Conference Finals in the last 5+ years, and won't this year either.

Rockets only made the Conference Finals once, when CP3 played with a pulled hammy the whole series, Blake absolutely folded, and the Rocket bench had that crazy, mind-boggling comeback. If it were up to Harden and Howard, they would have been out in 5 games.



If you're not Golden State/San Antonio/OKC, it's taken some major luck to make it to the WCF the last five years. CP3 ain't never had the fortuitous injury to the other team in the conference finals that propelled him there. He's never had the critical game where his bench stepped up and sealed it against a better team. If a few calls go the other way in 2014, or if CP3 is 100% in 2015, or if Blake doesn't get hurt in 2013, then they have a real chance of making it at least 1-2 times. But they just never had the dominoes fall their way.

They won't hear you tho.

cpo fans moonwalking better than 1990 mj

Yea, i'm a Rockets fan but that 3-1 choke job by CP3 and the Clippers was inexcusable. Had a 20 point lead in the 2nd half of game 6 and let Houston's own village idiot at the time (Josh Smith) outscore them in the 4th qtr by himself.

I dunno if they would've beat OKC in 2014 even if they had got that 3-2 series lead (by not choking away game 5), but they had the Rockets dead in the water. All the other playoff runs, i got no problem with people using injuries as an excuse but those back to back years... that's just fukking up, badly.

They would've beat okc but, you know, cpo gon cpo. It was him vs Russ with it all on the line and Russ played basketball and cpo flopped. Reality is a bytch

Clips had their trip in 2014 if cac refs didnt cheat for The Servant.

Now we playin the CP3 cant and wont get over the hump shyt.. Revisionist minds are something else.. Keep acting like yall knew this would happen and CP3 wasn't cold.. 3 years ago for you nikkas

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

They won't hear you tho.

And you don't see/hear the facts that CP3 is a career-choker.

 

[Thegospel]

How you the supposed best pg since isiah but you can't win with TWO all stars and a 6th man of the year?

 

[NormanConnors]

He over acheived wit the hornets and unacheived wit the clips.

That team just can't seem to stay healthy tho. That they main issue. Blake has missed like 3 entire playoffs in a row. He has nobody else in his team when Blake goes down that can create they own shot outside of Crawford who is just a flashy dribbler

Close thread

shyt... and i love CP3...

 

[MJ Truth]

nikkas love running with that "Duncan had nobody in 2003" lie


- Bruce Bowen (In his prime, one of the best defenders of his generation)
- Ginobili
- Tony Parker (who averaged 15pts 5 asst that season)
- Stephen Jackson
- Steve Kerr (shooting 40% from 3 that season)
- David Robinson






The only one who fits the bill of won without much help is Hakeem and Dirk

How the hell do either fit the bill?

Newsflash for you dummies - just because a player isn't an All Star that season or because you don't know hoops and can't recognize their contribution doesn't mean they're not helping.

Dirk didn't have help? So he must have been the one shutting down LeBron and frustrating Kobe in those series.

 

[JYoung24]

Yall overrate Dirk on here.. Ive always rooted for him since Shaq and Kobe Lakers was bytchin the Mavs for no reason at all no matter how many all stars was on that Mavs squad.. Yall gotta stop with this Dirk overpraise.. I was stupid shocked at Dirk in 2011 cuz dude was going to the paint and just simply feasting.. But yall need to stop.. He was widely seen as soft and only had 2 years where he said "fukk that shyt"... Amazing how we underrate the talent Dirk had simply cuz they beat the Heat.. Ignore 12 years of all stars cuz he beat the Heat.. Now yall declare him untouchable.. Stop it

Exactly people acting like those Dallas teams wasn't stacked for those time periods

 

[Bledswole]

Is he at the ring chasing stage of his career yet? Overrated fukking bum.

Hell naw Clippers bouta give this nikka 200+ Million

 

[UpAndComing]

@UpAndComing .. You get it... These nikkas some hoes.. They see something new and shiny and they forget everything except the bad.. Hoes I tell you, HOES

Exactly

2 years ago they were on Anthony Davis' d*ck. Then after a couple nick nack injuries, they forgot about him
Then it was KAT, then they forgot about him
Then it was Embiid
Then it was Giannis

I've been loyal to Pierce, Iverson, Chris Paul, and Wade for over 10 years through thick and thin. I don't let Sportcenter storylines sway my opinion. They really some hoes
