I know Morey did not want to trade Chris Paul for WB. To anyone with basic sense that was a major downgrade. Then Russ comes and they realize they can't play him with Capela and homie gets dumped to Atlanta.

Honestly felt bad for Rockets fans seeing an all time contender get dismantled in 1 year.
Morey begged Tilman and had all the nerds in the room trying to convince Tilman otherwise but Tilman pulled the trigger. Morey should’ve gave him an ultimatum at that point. Cp3 had his worst season ever that year and that was all the fuel Tilman needed. He was getting some great one on one iso and missing shots. His midrange was off terribly that season.

watching the ship sink was terrible.


I imagine this how Cowboys felt with Jerry in the 90’s After 1993

Difference between facing the KD Warriors and the Clippers missing Kawhi :manny:

2018 Rockets would have swept through this Western conference


KD got hurt in 2019 with the series 2-2 in the 3rd quarter of a 3 point game and they still got wacked. what’s the excuse then?

If you think you're lonely now, ohhh girl...
Harden is one of the least competitive superstars to ever play the in the league. He’s completely fine with losing. I don’t even know why he forced his way out of Houston because it couldn’t have been about wins and losses. Seems like it was some personal shyt he had against the org. Anyways, he’s not upset or mad at all.

Its crazy how NO ONE mentions Rockets going up 3-2, Chris Paul gets injured, and Harden became a p*ssy and shrinking in the moment for Game 6 and Game 7
crazy how no one mentions the rockets winning game 5 by the skin of their teeth (couldve gone either way), and andre iguodala getting injured, not to mention the rockets got blown out that series with chris paul healthy. Steph said they had the rockets figured out but things changed once Iggy got hurt. That's why they had to play trash ass jordan bell big minutes :yeshrug:

that 3-2 lead was fool's gold. in the postgame pressers after g5, Steph KD and Draymond were like :coffee:

even after game 7 and down 11 at the half, Klay, Steph and Dray said the locker room was completely calm bc they knew they werent worried

Cp3 looked washed in 2019. He had his worst year of the decade :yeshrug:

Honestly I think CP3 did a mutiny against Harden who avg 36ppg that year becuz during the regular season most of the squad was injured. Harden kept them afloat by going HEAVY ISO and putting up BIG NUMBERS but when everybody came back heathy ready for the playoff run to start Harden was feeling himself too much and wasn't ready to go back to team ball.

I think that's why CP3 didn't take many shots in the Run It Back GSW series in 2019. Harden didn't wanna play team ball and CP3 was like, "you wanna do it by yourself, have at it." They lost that GSW series despite Durant missing the last few games with Curry out playing Harden in Oakland and after scoring 0 in the first half bounced the Rockets in Houston with 30+ in the second half while Harden again didn't take the bull by the horns and faded in the playoffs when the Rockets need him most.

After the game Harden gave the, "I know what we gotta do, I know exactly what we gotta do" statement. Shortly after CP3 was being traded for Westbrook. Now I thought CP3 was washed after that series too but he showed in OKC that he still had something left and by this year we see he obviously still has 2-3 maybe 4 years left. That's at an elite or great level.

North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
Y’all :cape: for Chris Paul..

but act like…

1. AD wasn’t hurt for most of the series vs the Lakers.

2. Jamal Murray didn’t play for the Nuggets.

3. Kawhi Leonard did play for the Clippers.


And there’s a strong chance the Suns will face a gimpy Giannis of Trey Young in the finals.

That was Russ. Not intentionally but because Russ wasn’t a perimeter threat they had to play 5 out to open up the floor


But they played themselves by acting to fast. Christian Wood Russ and Harden could’ve played together this year and I think they easily would’ve been in WCF THIS YEAR I if they stay healthy.

Which is likely for Harden at least becuz prior to this year he was ironman why becuz he was dedicated to his craft. But what did he do this season, he came in late, fat and out of shape. Hence him missing multiple regular season and playoff games.
