    Funny how Harden needed Chris Paul to bail him out in another elimination game

    Harden yet again comes up small in a big game. Good thing he had 6’1” Chris Paul do everything he was supposed to do.

    I agree with you Wiz, but what has Paul ever won. Maybe both guys are bailing out each others careers. Because before this year, neither of them did squat in the playoffs.

    Best game of CP3's mostly meaningless career.

    Cp3 just said post game that Harden wasn't feeling well going into the game, he just bailed him out again. Someone on the Raps should have said the same about Derozan and Lowry lol.

    I still don't get the low series price against the Warriors.

    Only time I thought Paul really choked was that thunder series when he fukked up at the end of the game. The blown 3-1 series vs Houston he was playing injured and they ran out of gas. Sometimes his competitiveness worked against him but I never really thought he played poorly in big spots.

    He’s the shortest guy on the court and yet he was far and away the best player out there. He’s not really that athletic. Everything he gets is because he works harder than just about anyone in the league.

    Hey...he beat the Spurs once. Think that was the year they choked against Houston.

    Laker - how come you aren't bitching that Utah was undermanned with all the injuries allowing Harden and Paul to get to the West Finals???

    Oh, because it's not Cleveland.

    Curry runs laps around Chris Paul - reason he left the clippers -

    Paul has played well in the playoffs, but his teams have never been great. He actually does better in the playoffs then in the regular season, but since he isn't a 30 point a game guy, because of the style he plays, he never gets looked at as a dominant player.

    Lol no. They did not get him to carry the MVP in elimination games.

    Harden will fail again as always. Doesn't hands the killer instinct

    And taking those New Orleans teams to the playoffs 3 out of 6 years was no small feat either, those teams didnt have much. Took Spurs to 7 games in the 2nd round, a 25-30pt guy not distributing wouldnt have taken those teams to playoffs, needed to play near perfect team ball 21 ppg and about 12 asst. was needed.
