Harden maybe. Not Paul. Harden has shit the bed in epic fashion in postseason play. CP3 never has.

Generational Talent Fam!!
Barkley was the main one on that dumb shit... as recently as January and shit!!
Props to largebills and truth for still repping. But hard not to notice all the Golden State fans from last summer been MIA since that opening day loss to the Rockets. Even bitchilljoinya been awfully quiet lately.

When Healthy I ain't worried about the rockets one bit
Even rockets fans who been rocking with the rockets conceded that if ANOTHER INJURY (draymond) in that game wouldn't have happened they probably wouldn't have won.
The Rockets and warriors has been a mulligan every game someone was missing and/or not important to both sides those are the facts.
The Rockets with their great season they're having which I for one would never try to take away from them were only a half game up on a warriors team that was playing lazy and trash and this is after the warriors lost like 4 out of 5 games going into the all star break to give them a half game lead while the rockets were on a double digit win streak.
all facts. can't be disputed. or interpreted differently.
We've been slightly kinda healthy for stretches but really NOT that healthy but when healthy nobody wants to see us period.
Teams like the rockets can FEEL like they ready but ain't no crowing no champs until they get a ring and until we lose 4 times in the playoffs we are the champs regardless of how quickly people want to usher the warriors away due to reasons I'm not even going to outline in this thread.

Exactly why I stopped caring about the regular season after the 73 win season. The playoffs is where it counts. Last year we went 16 and motherfucking 1. certified.
This year if we're healthy I think we have a good shot. But take 4 starters off of any team and see what happens. and chances are you only have 2 starters in the same conversations as the lower 2 starters we're missing
LOL@ injuries are a part of the game where was this shit bout 3 years ago
Do me a favor and go look up New Orleans post season stats with Paul and when he left.. He took a champion Spurs team the distance by him dam self.. When you finish there go look up the LA Clippers postseason stats pre and post Chris Paul.
Lemme me what you see.
Oh, and this is the FIRST year since 1995 when the Rockets are a legitimate title contender.. Guess who showed up this year? You get one guess.
And I haven't been in here due to injury.
Nothing to dissect if the team ain't whole. Win or lose can't really take anything from it. The team has been fighting actually. Really fighting down so many people for so long and ACTUAL stars too.

Just making an observation. Alot of cats that was loudly screaming dynasty in the offseason been quiet. And you right until they are defeated 4 times in a playoff series they still the kings.
Quote myself instead of edit
and this doesn't mean I don't respect the rockets. It just means when we play our brand of basketball I think we can beat them like I'm sure rockets fans feel the same way.
but only one of us should get the benefit of the doubt when fully healthy and that's us.
But I said that shit from the beginning of the run though I'm not surprised. It's also why I was highly annoyed with cats making those threads and shit and then people mention me so I gotta come in and talk about some shit some other people said while they ghost
I still remember who showed up after the warriors choked the 3-1 lead.
I know I was there.
Pacers haven't had a top draft pick. And this is a different time. Coaches used to implement a system. Respected/ feared the coach. Now, the coach is scared. And it's more like open run.
Simmons is good. Throwback in a lot of ways, but not that damn good.
But if y'all lose. It's going to be, we didn't do this. We didn't do that. Playing your brand of basketball is imposing your will, and GS rolling. The Rocket aren't trying to let that happen. At least from a regular season perspective. Because last post season Harden did some scary shit. A healthy GS will be favored, but not by much. A healthy HOU is going to bring it.

Aldridge has stepped up. It's like him and Kawhi have reversed roles and now Kawhi is the unhappy one.
I didn't think he would, Fultz sort of made sure it was going to happen
I can't believe in Harden, he's folded too many times in clutch games

Their team is all Embiid, he's far from the second coming of Lebron, because his offense is so limited.
I still can't forget he couldn't even get a college team to the tourney in a weak SEC.
If we lose fully healthy then we tip our cap.
Rockets are rolling. Rockets play hard every night. They're hungry. They are trying to win their 1st championship with this squad. They are playing like they should be playing.
We can't say how it will translate in the playoffs because neither team has been engaged fully and fully healthy when playing against one another.
So I stopped arguing whether or not who's better. Cause that shit is for the regular season and The Warriors have proven that the regular season is cool but the playoffs is what matters.
This core went 16-1 in the playoffs. Certified. They deserve to have benefit of the doubt.
This Rockets team is rolling and has 0-0 playoff record which is clean slate so I'm not counting them out and I'm not penciling them into anything either. As it should be.
Interesting. I seen them lose to the Pacers this last time, and that appears to be the case. Simmons disappeared for a lot of that. He's cool, big and fast, but ehhhhh.
I said, last season, Embiid is a taller Lebron in the making. Could be overrating him. Still not a finished product. And def, not health wise. But he's the best player on that team.
Beating the FUCK out of Minny.... Ben with his 10th Triple Double, kid is just scratching the surface of his ability and potential! Ten triple doubles in his first 72 games of his career!?!?! Generational talent and then some!! ROY is a wrap!
Generational Talent Fam!!
Barkley was the main one on that dumb shit... as recently as January and shit!!
Got to update that Meme to 10 Triple Dubs on the year..... 4 in 7 games...
would have been 6 Triple dubs in 7 games had we not blown teams away and sat our starters in the 4th qtr.
For real Bruh! His feel for the game and the way he controls shit is phngenomenal for someone so you in the infancy of his career! Dude would have 5 more Triple doubles if his games weren't ending so soon!
Funny thing is, his shot is not their yet, Dudes know it and they STILL can't keep him from getting to the rim! He gets to the bucket whenever he feels like hit! Strong as fuck! More Triple Doubles than Magic had his rookie year!
We are gelling at the right time, getting teams out of their quick and getting our starters rest. Embiid is now obviously comfortable playing back to backs, dominating and shit! Brett Brown is coaching his ass off... We may fuck around and that 3 seed the way we are playing but either way, we clinch a playoff spot tonight so I'm good!!
Sixers with another asskicking tonight!!! Ben Simmons with another triple double.
You not payin attention if you don't think Simmons is that damn good. Simple as that.
Pretty much. I stay out West. I don't watch y'all games like that. I think he's good. I've seen him walk down some folk in the post. And also disappear. But putting him in historical context is not the business.
If you want to do that, fine, but a triple double today isn't the same as yesterday.

Yeah Fam...im hype. This season is already a success IMO...( of course I want more
) But Ben and Embiid are a force on both ends of the floor...and like you said, they're just getting started. With just good health and more experience we will make another big leap next year. Let alone any FA moves, 6 draft picks to mess around with and the return of Fultz..
Nah Fam. Don't get me wrong ...Embiid is still that dude. But Simmons impact is undeniable. Matter of fact in this month in particular, his personal scoring average is down and yet he has been more dominant then ever just by the way he gets everyone going... He might mess around and average a triple double for the Month of March.....and that's just offense...his versatility on defense is probably the most underrated part of his game.
Damn right.
Sixers with another asskicking tonight!!! Ben Simmons with another triple double.
If this dude stay healthy and Lebron don't come there....he'll have some crazy ass career stats...maybe all time triple double leader when he's done
Wasn't just yet BGOL....the 76ers themselves went and drafted a point guard with the first pick in the draft that can't shoot.
Like I said last year....Westbrook lowered the value of what a triple double is. The game is so fast now it's far easier to flirt with that shit then it was back in the day.
Brett Brown ALWAYS stated Simmons would play the point. EVERYONE ELSE THOUGHT HE WAS CRAZY. Fultz was drafted because of his ability to run and get to the basket.
They drafted Fultz ideally as a combo guard ...but the plan always was to have Fultz play 2 primarily.... His inability to shoot came out of nowhere...you know that bruh. It was the single weirdest sports story of the year.
But Fultz presence wasn't even the main argument that was being used against Ben running point. It was the fact that he was 6'10", and "who will he pick up on defense??" ish like that, He didn't play point at LSU...etc..
We didn't pull this "Ben Simmons will run point" stuff out of our ass. It's what the coaches were saying all along. For some reason the cats who don't follow the team was trying to tell Sixers fans otherwise.
LeBron coming to Houston.
He runs the offense and can get anywhere on the floor better than most rookies that have played. The best thing about his game is he doesn't force shit. He stays within the offense. He's a beast on the boards as well. For a 1st year player to do what he is doing is amazing. Don't care how many triple doubles Westbrook has had overall HE WASN'T PUTTING UP TRIPLE DOUBLE NUMBERS LIKE THAT HIS ROOKIE YEAR. Simmons can get to the basket whenever he wants and no one can stop him. But instead he gets others involved and it's better for the team. That's the part you don't understand about his game. That's what's impressive the most.
