Rockets: Woj: CP3 traded to the Rockets

[ambchang]

So that's something we have seen multiple times this postseason (one top 10 guy stepping up when the other wasn't feeling it). Are you finally convinced that Paul has made the Rockets better?

So which game did the Rockets win where Harden choked and CP3 came to the rescue?

[benefactor]

winning a series they were supposed to win is somehow vindication.

They got CP3 to win this upcoming series. Now we’ll see if Houston is actually any better now.

...exactly

They have home court and CP3. They lose this series in any less than 7 games it's the same ole sandwich we are accustomed to seeing from three of the biggest playoff chokers in the current era.

[AlexJones]

If they get the series to a 6th game (which they will), it's more than what anyone else could do against the Durant Warriors

That's being too generous. The Rockets have the MVP, the so-called "Point God," and the supposed "greatest offense ever." If they don't win it all, it's another classic playoff chokejob by CP0 and Frauden.

[Gummi Clutch]

He's clutch because his team is up 3-1 with him not doing that much in those games? Do you know what clutch means? It doesn't mean stat-padding in a meaningless game.

To any casual observer here it seems you don't know what clutch is, he's using it right (as any non-dumbass would). What do you call continuously making shots at the end of games...playoff games...elimination games? If you were the asian kid that never got to play and always watched from the sidelines I feel bad for you.

Its clear from your posts you have no idea what you're ever talking about tbh.

[Gummi Clutch]

You got reversed, but I am not that surprised because you don't seem to have much logic.

Houston made the WCF before Paul, it's Paul who couldn't make the WCF before the Rockets.

But sure, beating a 4 seed missing both guards is better.

That was a completely different team. We were MUCH better than them last year you ing idiot

Angry asian loser trying to talk basketball once again.

[SuperCam]

Point God hating fayggots trying to move the goalposts by claiming it's a choke if Rox don't win a series in which they are 2 to 1 vegas underdogs

[LkrFan]

In the fourth quarter of Game 6, CP0 was 1-6 (no assists) before making a garbage-time three when it no longer mattered. He also the bed in Games 5 and 7, but made sure to pad his stats in garbage time those games so his teammates could get all the blame. As the first option and highest-paid player on the team, it was absolutely his fault.

I'll never understand how a player who choked for 13 years gets a reputation as a "closer" and gets no blame for any of his meltdowns. Then again, Kobe tricked a generation of casual fans into thinking he was "clutch" despite shooting 23% in clutch moments of playoff games for his career, so I guess it's not unprecedented.

CP3 took a wet on CN last night I said!

That's weird, I don't recall seeing him win a ring as the best player on his team last night.

Didn't see game.
So Mitc torches CPO / Frauden for 22 points in the 3rd qtr until he has to leave the game injured?

With Mitc taken out, CP0 goes on to score some in the 4th including some super greasy banker that he had no intention to bank. ESPN-Disney-NBA makes it a highlight reel?

Well if you didn't see the game you should probably stfu. Jazz were losing all game, Harden had the flu and was a no show. Jazz went on a little run in the 3rd, took a small lead for a bit. Lost the lead with CP3 hitting shots. Already losing, Mitchel goes out in with a couple minutes in the 4th when they're already down.

Jazz led from 5:07 left in the 3rd quarter into the 4th until Mitc got injured.

[spurraider21]

last year they got eliminated by the spurs without kawhi, while starting a rookie pg... at home in a blowout . they are demonstrably better than they were last year.

last time houston made the WCF it was 2015, and they lost to the warriors in 5. the warriors have since added in kevin durant... so that makes the difference even more lopsided.

to say they must beat the warriors or drive it to 7, otherwise they haven't improved, is pure imho. Paul has made the rockets better, that doesn't mean they're suddenly better than the most stacked team in nba history

[resistanze]

The Rockets are the clear underdogs in this series, how can people be so disingenuous?

[SuperCam]

Cripple Nation takes going down the toilet

Can't that

[Chris Fall]

Haters will always find ways to change the narrative, move the goal posts, rewrite the logic.

”I’m not sure CP3 even makes Houston better than the Clippers.”

”CP3 can’t coexist with Harden because they both need the ball in their hands.”

”It’s just the regular season. Everyone knew they’d put up big regular season wins.”

”They’ll still choke in the playoffs. Second round exit still their ceiling.”

”He just hit some fluke shots when the game was already over. He only did it because he’s the third best player on the team.”

”It doesn’t matter. He still didn’t win a championship yet. So I’m still going to be right because I’ll just switch over to one of my other dozen ambiguous mind-numbing points of argument.”

It will continue to be as long as they win games and series. After game 1 of the playoffs, the rats already came out puffing their chests saying I told you so... after 1 playoff game. But after the Utah series, it’s back to well of course they were going to beat Utah. It’s all about Golden State.

You're never wrong if you never admit to being wrong!

[StrengthAndHonor]

exactly breh. We got Game 6'd last game and CP3 put on a midrange clinic. The guy just has that closer tenacity. StrengthAndHonor knows this but it was never his fault that we came back 1-3 and beat them that year. Everytime he had the ball I was legit on edge our comeback was in jeopardy.

You guys are in great position to upset the champs. Morey has done a tremendous job. Im rooting for CP3 and the Rockets for sure.

[DAF86]

So which game did the Rockets win where Harden choked and CP3 came to the rescue?

Last night, for example.

[DAF86]

Anything less than a 7 game defeat proves it, yes

...exactly

They have home court and CP3. They lose this series in any less than 7 games it's the same ole sandwich we are accustomed to seeing from three of the biggest playoff chokers in the current era.

As if CP3 haters wouldn't come in in full force screaming "choke" if the Rockets lose a game 7 at home to the Warriors.

[Cuppycake Gumdrop]

The Rockets are the clear underdogs in this series, how can people be so disingenuous?

They’re the 1 seed with HCA, for s sale. If they can’t hang with GS for 7 games, they’re clearly underacheiving.

[Clipper Nation]

The sheer level of slurping for a player who finally got caried to one WCF after over a decade of choking really says it all. Truth is, even CP0's fanboys subconsciously didn't expect him to avoid choking this series away. That's why they're celebrating a second-round victory over a depleted Jazz team like he just won the Finals.

If he was ever as great as they say he is, this would have been the expected outcome and they'd be treating it like it's nothing special. Then again, if he was ever as great as they say he is, he would have closed out Houston with a 3-1 lead in 2015 and this would all be a moot point.

Yet you suck off Westbrook like a hoover vacuum cleaner.

It took him a decade but it's progress, nonetheless. With a little bit of luck, he might just lead the Rockets to a le

I will expect an apology from you, sir.

In reality, he's already clinched never winning a le as the best player on his team.
