    Paul George is different than Lebron.

    He knows he is not a No 1 guy.

    Yeah, he tried with Indy and OKC, now he knows better.

    He is borderline there but he can't get to the line that much and his driving game has suffered with him preferring only 3s.

    We lost 2 (very winnable) games, and WB got injured. Way different than just losing one game.

    I stand by everything I said!

    Yeah, I'm not a CP3 fanboy and I don't miss him. I don't cry in every game thread, in the NBA dish about how I miss Chris, I wish we had Chris, go Chris! go Thunder! ... no. no. no.
    He's gone, he's not coming back. Why can't y'all move on? This board has some weird fixation with certain players, they just can't let go. Chris Paul. Trevor Ariza. Luc Mbah a Moute. Donatas Motiejunas.
    And yeah, I did bump all those threads. Same people crying about missing Chris Paul were probably the same ones a few months earlier criticizing Chris Paul and his play and his contract. Do I need to bump them again? :D

    And as I said, he missed 24 games a year as a Rocket, including 2 important playoff games.
    CP3 apologists say he's taking his body/diet/exercise more serious in OKC. Well if he did that here, maybe he'd still be here.
    Maybe Tilman wouldn't be complaining about his contract and James wouldn't be saying "You can't even beat your man. Just shut up and watch me."

    "You can't think CP3 was trash then in the same breath think he is going to beat the Rockets in round 1."

    What if he was "washed" with the Rockets and now he's "not washed" with the Thunder?
    He couldn't stay on the court with the Rockets. Now he's healthy with OKC. Assists are slightly down but everything else up across the board.
    (2018-19) And when he was on the court, did you think he played well? $40M worthy? What about the Warriors series? Do you think he was a good, reliable 2nd option for James? Do you think James thought he could win with him moving forward? Do you think the Chris Paul we're seeing this year is the same one as last year? Better? Worse?


    And as good as Chris is, they have two other PGs that are just as good, if not better! It's a three-headed monster.

    Sorrynotsorry if I didn't think it was crazy the Thunder could "upset" the Rockets. "Easily, easily see it happening." I said what I said. Not easily as in Thunder in 4 or 5 but the Thunder winning the series wouldn't shock me.
    "They don't have this, don't have that, no one to match Harden, can't keep up, blahblahblah" OK, we'll see.

    Rockets gave up a lot to get Chris Paul.
    Rockets gave up a lot to get rid of Chris Paul.
    And in between gave him a nearly untradeable $160M deal.
    People act like Chris Paul is some victim and the Rockets "did him wrong". GTFO.

    This is bad but upside is that role players will not always be this bad.

    Should have started Rivers instead of EGo, he plays better as a starter.

    McLemore too.



    Next game MDA should start:

    Beard - BMac - RoCo - PJ - Green (2nd ball handler).

    EGo, Rivers, Bruno, Luc off the bench.

    Clemons before Frazier or Demarre.

    Rest House, need toe 100% for post season.

    EGo just needs to keep shooting.

    That's only way to break slump

    Both are MVP, it shows who.is the best and Westbrooks MVP should belongs to Harden. Some people always put that players into a team for comparison
    The goal percentage is low for him. I suggest MDA to start house in Play off

    I'm still pissed at today's double irony:

    1) WB injury right before playoffs, CP3 healthy on the team we traded him to that we will most likely face 1st.

    2) Losing a chance at the last shot to tie or win the game because our smallball lineup couldn't secure a rebound after a miss.

    :mad:
