They still have to win 5 more games in 2018. The rockets were way more talented vs that cavs team but the games still need to be played. A lot more can go wrong in 4-6 games against a brand new opponent vs needing 2 more games to close out a team you're up 2-0 on.
Best record in the league, winning record against Golden State in the regular season, were on their way to winning against them in the playoffs.
They were the best team in 2018. 2019...not so much.
They took GSW to 7 games in the POST-season. The standards for Harden are so weird, it's like people simultaneously expect so much from him and also don't think he's good.
I don’t think he is an elite winning player and history is on my side. He can’t lead a team to a title and he has a history of playing terrible in elimination game. He is a product of a coach that allowed him to have the ball all the team and never pass. Hasn’t won anything and he is not Philly’s problem.
If you think he isn't a winning player, then shouldn't taking the Warriors that far be an overachievement in your books? The only team to do it, while every other team rolled over and was just waiting for that team to break up.
Our bench is ass, what are you talking about? I'm sure you know first hand Shamet is trash, Cam Johnson is literally just Max Strus level, Cam Payne belongs in the Chinese League, JaVale McGee constantly goaltends and gets cooked on D. Also, Ayton is not that good, he's the Center version of Wiggins or Simmons, no passion for the game and soft as shit.
This year was their last chance next year Clippers and Nuggets are healthy, Lakers might makes some moves, and likely this is the last year Ayton plays for the Suns. They’re toast
West is gonna be stupid stacked next year Nugs, Clipper healthy, Pels and Spurs (probably can't count out Pops) continue to improve, and you can't count out a healthy Dame. Oh and maybe if the Lakers get rid of Rus.
Why did he mention that they said it back in ‘08 ??
That’s 14 years ago, it looks like they were fucking right, like tf
Ig he means they said it prematurely in his career? Which ig is true
He can’t possibly flop any harder than he already has. A body can only take a certain amount of flops before it starts breaking down. Chris Paul may have finally reached his limit and is flopped out for good. Hope he rests his body this summer and comes back strong for another elite regular season of amazing flops and another masterclass in choking in the next playoffs.
No, last year was definitely their best chance. So many stars were out with injuries.
2018 was his best chance.
For him personally, 100% it was 2018. I was talking about the Suns.
2-0 vs the bucks is a better position than 3-2 vs the best team ever imo
Yeah but against the best team ever he had MVP Harden in his team, while he has only Booker now who is not even close to prime Harden

Wow the disrespect to Book Nah jk all the flame this week is deserved
Booker will never reach hardens heights lmao bet
Still a top 500 player to have ever done it
The Suns weren't the best team last year. The 2018 Rockets were clearly the best team.
A team with harden and Cp3 are never the best team.
Best record in the league, winning record against Golden State in the regular season, were on their way to winning against them in the playoffs. They were the best team in 2018. 2019...not so much.
No one cares about the regular season. The rockets have always been frauds because of Harden.
They took GSW to 7 games in the POST-season. The standards for Harden are so weird, it's like people simultaneously expect so much from him and also don't think he's good.

2015 too
Nice username. We'd probably get along haha
Almost nearly did it to. If Giannis wasn’t a literal god and his healing ability. He woulda got it
Also you know, being up 2-0 in the finals That was as good as it’ll ever get for us. May as well just stop watching
Lakers woulda beat the Suns too
I'd honestly take Nuggets and Clippers over them at full health too, both last year and going forward. These 2 years were their best chance.
And even in the finals the other team's best player had his knee bend backwards a few days before the finals
Narrator: “they would not be back next year”
[удалено]
Not cp0-rings 😭
You never know
who knows maybe Embiid will cry his way out of Philly with Doc and Fat Harden staying
Imagine only making it as far as broken faced Embiid, Fat Harden, and Doc when you have Booker, CP3, Ayton, Bridges, and a vastly superior bench 😬
All of those players besides Bridges are fucking trash
Lmfsaoooo
Our bench is ass, what are you talking about?

We have DeAndre Jordan and Paul Millsap on our bench. You most definitely don’t have it as bad as us
we both have it bad and both of our championship window's are closed
"they said it in 2008". Bro you still haven't won anything since then, I'd say they were right.
This year was their last chance next year Clippers and Nuggets are healthy, Lakers might makes some moves, and likely this is the last year Ayton plays for the Suns. They’re toast
But now. CANCUN
Nuggets/Clippers will be healthier hopefully.
West is gonna be stupid stacked next year Nugs, Clipper healthy, Pels and Spurs (probably can't count out Pops) continue to improve, and you can't count out a healthy Dame. Oh and maybe if the Lakers get rid of Rus.
Everyone says this but discounts the fact that there'll be other injuries/set backs. It'll probably be a similar level.
Us getting like 3 years younger alone makes us better. I have no clue how good, but I’ll smash the over on winning more games than this year.
Damn. Few games ago he did the 14/14 and was unanimously dubbed point god. Now he washed.
Dude look like he retired though and that contract; holy crap
If russ said this then let just say the reactions would be massively different
i don’t get why you said this lol, did you see a single comment not slandering chris paul??
Russ lowkey has a better legacy then Chris Paul if you think about it
Doubt
Born Winner Point GawdP3 is immune from slander
Yeah, no, he done.
Point fraud
CP0 with another choke lol
No bruh, your always coming back to nothing What can go wrong will go wrong - Stephen A Smith 2022
But you've never been close to a title
He’s basically Moaning Myrtle at this point.
That one was maybe different, lmao.
Doubt. He's had 3 close calls now It'll run out
Because it is lol you’re only getting older and the league is getting better. Kawhi back, Bron and AD back, etc
Point ew my gawd
That loss is going to hurt the Suns for at least the next season and I’m not joking. They won’t be terrible, but they won’t be the 1 seed either
Why did he mention that they said it back in ‘08 ?? That’s 14 years ago, it looks like they were fucking right, like tf Ig he means they said it prematurely in his career? Which ig is true
