Rockets: Woj: CP3 traded to the Rockets

[djohn2oo8]

According to 538, the Rockets currently have a 79% chance of beating the Warriors and a 69% chance of winning it all.

There you have it. It's championship or choke for the Rockets.

Yeah you have no room to call anyone else a choker with Josh Smith ing in your eyeballs.

[djohn2oo8]

According to odds from Westgate, the reigning NBA champion Warriors are -195 favorites to take down the No. 1 seed in the West, Houston

Yeah that disingenuous ain't gonna fly Clitnation.

[Chris Fall]

A 1-seed with the league MVP can both be expected to go far, while also be downplayed due to past failures....see 2007 Mavs.

So you justify talking out of both sides of your mouth to cover your ass.

I am not sure why teams choked when they didn't get the results. Choking is always around the how rather than the what. Seriously, there are only one true actual choker in NBA history, and that was Karl Malone. All his poor performances couldn't be explained by situations or matchups or anything else, but just that he choked, and it happened multiple times.

I wouldn't say Houston choked if they couldn't beat GSW or extend this to 6 or 7 games or whatever, but they would be choking if they make a pattern of stupid mistakes down the line of a tight game in high pressure situations.

Nice to meet you. As long as you admit the same hypocrisy.

Your capitulation is duly noted.

Capitulated? More like already stated it in the first place, back in post #393.

Both apologists and haters are talking out of both sides of their mouths.

Maybe some of the apologists talk like Houston isn’t a 1 seed and doesn’t have the league MVP. But the haters have discredited the regular season wins all season long as a product of all the tanking teams and Golden State’s indifference to the regular season. They also scream how Harden is an unworthy and fraudulent MVP candidate. But now that they want to re-emphasize the playoff choking label, they want to stress that Houston is the higher seed with home court and that they’re the favorites now, even though they dismissed what the Rockets had done all along... until now.

It’s also talking out of both sides.

Difference with haters is they generally refuse to acknowledge or admit that they are talking out of their asses when they criticize the apologists. First it’s CP3 doesn’t even make Houston better. When he makes them better, it’s stat padding regular season wins against a tanking league while Golden State coasts, and second round exit is their ceiling. Golden State is still the better team. And it’s Harden flops his way to free throws and is a fraudulent MVP candidate.

And now that they can’t regurgitate that same old , they flip the argument. Well, they’re the #1 seed with the MVP, so if they don’t beat the Warriors, they choke.

At least you’re now admitting you’re a hypocrite talking out of your ass. Kudos!

"Barely outchoked"

The dude single handedly brought the Rockets back while Harden was ting bricks. Without Paul, this is a 20 pts loss for the Rockets.

Also, lol at calling anyone that isn't a blind hater a stan. I'm pretty far from being a fan of Paul's ass, tbh

That ing idiot is too stupid comprehend his own stupidity, you're arguing with a wall.

The made FT with 0.5 was super idiotic.

Before that, the drive and resulting brick to give the Golden gots a chance.

[Clipper Nation]

That just says it all about CP0. Even his own stans were expecting the chokejob and are reduced to celebrating that Curry and KD choked even worse.

[Clipper Nation]

The dude single handedly brought the Warriors back at the free throw line. He's just lucky Curry shat out a brick.

I tend to agree now. That said, the league is so predictable. Just feed them some free throws to make sure they are least compe ive.

Probably because you haven’t read enough. I always admit to it when wrong. Problem is that I’m rarely wrong.
