  1. Chris Paul's hamstring in game 5 and the Rockets missing 27 straight 3 pointers in game 7 is why the Rockets lost.

  2. I aint trying hear that excuse, y'all played them following year without KD and y'all folded. They just better. Simple as that lol.

  3. Houston never almost beat GSW in the playoffs. They choked every year foh

  4. It is so frustrating knowing that if CP3 didnt get injured in game 6, the Rockets would have beaten the Warriors, pretty comfortably.

  5. CP3 which I considered the greatest PG of all time admitting that after all his battles with the Warriors, they could not get through with how the warriors play defense…

  6. Look folks , CP3 can dream all he wants to . But that 2018 or 2019 Rockets team wasn't beating the 2018 or 2019 Warriors in the Playoffs . The Splash Bros and Draymond created a dynasty team from 2015 – 2019 . KD came along from 2017 – 2019 . The Warriors Defense was so good from 2015 – 2019 at least because Ron Adams has been the mastermind of it since 2015 . CP3 wouldn't know about being on High Basketball IQ Dynasty teams .

  7. Teams might adopt the switch and help defense plan of Warriors and it's really happening today. In today's league, it's a fast paced game and everyone are quick release shooter.

  8. Cp3 is Stephs redheaded stepchild. A suns uniform will make no difference. WARRIORS IN 5 (if the refs dont get involved)

  9. It's def both sides. One u have g. S who is solid all around and plays the right way. Then u have Houston who has James harden led team that is a stat padder and plays no defense yet he's the vital scorer and predicable evey game. U know what James is going to do he's gonna walk the ball up the court do a stupid move and take a step back 3.. I mean the guy couldn't even win a chip on the thunder who were STACKED at the time bc James is STAT PADDER, bc he only cares about his numbers so he can get big contracts

  10. Little late on this but, when he said HOU defense was nice when they had trev and Luc, Had Chris taken a pay cut then trev and Luc wouldn't have walked away During the 2018 FA, keeping their 2 best perimeter defenders

  11. When JJ barrea said 'Draymond Green', it shows how real ballers respect Drayomnd. Draymond has elite basketball IQ, specially on defense and playmaking. Casuals make fun of triple single but his value is in his basketball IQ and facilitating others.
