It’s amazing how warriors fans don’t see anything wrong with a former mvp in his prime joining a 73 win team.


It’s amazing that you care so much about what another man chooses to do with his life

You’ve never given an opinion on what a sports player does? You’re a better man then I, and every other sports fan ever.

CP3 might be the biggest choker I've ever seen. At least Westbrook will go down shooting. Literally. This guy went an entire quarter without registering a stat. Wow.

Is that good?


Simmons was speculating on Twitter before the game that he thought Chris Paul was pretty legit injured and was only at like 75-80%. I honestly can’t remember ever seeing him look this bad in a big playoff game. He’s usually so clutch.

With the way Lebron is playing this year I think he would easily beat the Warriors if he had the current Rockets cast.

Maybe it's a rhythm thing? But scoring is his most important job on the team, especially if he doesn't put in much resistance on the other end (previous game), so not only did he take his sweet time, but then passed it...

Maybe he wanted to wait for more teammates to get down the court to run something, but they generally run something to get an open 3, so...

After all that Houston is down single digits. It could be a lot worse...it feels like it's a lot worse.

Problem is that he's always, always hurt at some point in a playoff run.

When things get tough in the playoffs players revert back to their real selfs. And in cp3 and hardens case it’s chokers who are too scared to make a mistake.

Who defends KD best in the league? Honestly can't think of a single player that has the height and defensive skills to slow him. Maybe Looney lol....

Might as well blame KG and Ray Allen then. Because their moves to Boston started the superteam era.

None of those players moved to an already 73 win legendary championship winning team though. That's all on Durant. Absolute wuss.

Paul played well in the first two games. Coincidentally he only started playing poorly after getting hurt at the end of game 2.

This is the Eric Gordon of the Clippers. Unstoppable slashing and a bowling ball in the paint. Nice to see this more aggressive Gordon who isnt just spamming spot up 3s.
