That was our year man...
This is undoubtedly Houston’s biggest “what if” year
27 straight misses still fucks me up
@@kels5193 they turned the magnets in the ball off 🧲
Still haunts me too
bearcatfan1000 nah our biggest what if year was 2009. Yao Ming and T-mac was injuried. We took the lakers to 7 games with Arron brooks, scola, and Ron artest. If we had Yao and tmac we would’ve won lol
Man the rockets switching was incredible in this series, its like one brain controlling all the guys. Need to get that back this year.
Looked like we got our swagger back on defense against the spurs and pels
The defense looking pretty crisp in these Bubble Playoffs too! Perhaps this is the year they win it all?
You should never trade cp3 🤦
@@ace-ub4wz west brick pays off
@@twiss9341 😂 you're funny
It’s a shame that Harden basically kicked Paul out. This team came closer than anyone to beating a fully healthy Golden State with Kevin Durant
If they stayed together they would have won 2019
@@EmelioSmoke You better be joking. 💀
@@jupiterstoneblackeye4563 Why would it be a joke? Warriors were injured all through the playoffs and Raptors beat em 4-2 without their best and then their third best player, plus some important key role players.
@@neckius3002 Because Paul and Harden played the Warriors without KD in 2019 playoffs. They lost....
@@jupiterstoneblackeye4563 they were missing paul as well so the warriors were kd and klay with key roleplayers so I think that is much bigger deficit than just losing kd like last and again take into account yeah the warriors lost kd but the rockets also lost chris so that statement doesnt really make sense.
Never forget - Chris Paul was the reason this team went to the WCF and went 3-2 against GS.
Uhmm dont act like harden wasnt averaging 30 in dat series 😂
@@Likerios22244 on absolutely garbage efficiency
@@Likerios22244 you saw what he did game 7 he was like 2 for 11
Never forget, someone called chris paul's contract the worst in nba history, then they trade for russ 🙂
@@sofakingonmynuts1438 I wouldn’t say the worst. Hardens was worse as it has hamstrung the cap space maneuvering since 2016 (and has only gone up). The trade for Russ was a terrible one, but this is all par for the course with Daryl Morey.
He knew that it was his time to shine. Harden knew too that’s why he was so quiet
Also because harden was under the weather this game so it was the CP3 show
@@ikillerz_uya8664 harden just isn't clutch in the playoffs
The lights just get too bright for Harden
im sure harden wasnt happy
@@thabanidube7314 Probably wasn't. That's why he froze him out the next season
They traded this guy for Russell Westbrook because he was “washed” meanwhile James harden wasn’t running back on offense because he was mad he wasn’t doing what cp3 was lol
To be fair at the time, CP had proven himself injury prone. No one anticipated him changing his diet and carrying a team that was supposed to be tanking to game 7 against his former team, and then taking a young team that hadn't even sniffed the play-offs in years to the fucking Finals. It's arguable all of that came as motivation from getting dumped. It's just unfortunate that had he stayed, I think that Rockets team would have made it to the Finals with Golden State banged up the following year. The whole small ball thing only resulted cuz Russ and Capela couldn't function together.
Blowing up this team was the stupidest thing ever. I don't care how much Harden didn't like CP3, you don't trade main pieces in a team losing to the GSW with Durant in 7 then in 6. That's a championship team!
They lost after leading 3-2 while Durant was injured...that clearly WASN'T a championship team
@@OnPoint88 they were down 2-3.
All 6 games were decided by a single possession in the last minute. Cp3 went down in the first series.
The kd warriors got blown up after 2019. This was absolutely a championship team. Westbrook was a complete liability on both ends. Get your facts straight
They didn’t blow it up cause of harden problems. Everyone forgets that they didn’t sign back Ariza, he was durants biggest problem, Ariza was the one that kept the team together.
@@fr33zah-34 it was definitely harden's fault.
Ariza was overrated af. Luc was way more important. If harden didnt trade cp3 for westbrick they'd have been the favorites to win the west
nah, nba didnt want see them winning. you can check game 7 miss called foul video
Crazy that they were one hamstring away from a finals
Bruuh
i’m giving a note to my future son, and he has to keep it going down in the family until time travel is possible so that my great great great grandson can use future medical technology to donate his hamstring to that man cp3... lol
2:24 gives me chills every time
Especially when you watch the entire video
remember watching that shit live , shit was crazyy!! Cp3 one of the greats. Wish he never went down in the ECF..
They should never get rid of Ariza and Paul.
Meanwhile with Westbrook, airball mid range and throwing out of control passes in the transition, with cp3 rockets vs lakers would have gone to game 7
They would’ve beat the lakers
@@tz6706 beat the lakers what? 🤔 meat? 🤨
It's harden fault because he forced russ to play sg
@@Likerios22244 lol harden is the problem but harden is better passer and play maker than Westbrook , in control and great passing Vision , while Westbrook has low IQ and always forced and squeeze the pass
I always come back and this still gives me chills 😢
Omm
@@jekoriecoley7007 ommm
Harden is like: what is this guy doing? We all misunderstood about Chris Paul after all the incidents about harden
3:20 lmao harden was just like “let me catch my breath and watch cp3 do all the work”
Nahh he wanted the ball soooo bad
@@kelvinberliano2601 he literally celebrated when the shot went in
Man what a time this was in Houston. 2018 was definitely Houston year
I was at this game. I didn't even realize he hit 6 straight. I just remember everyone was losing their minds as this dude got bucket after bucket. On fire is an understatement.
CP3 with the takeover before takeover.
He had to bank it because the defender was much taller and had higher reach. Impressive
yeah. i noticed that he even brought the ball behind his head to change the ball's trajectory. insane
I swear i thought the Rockets were gonna take the chip that year! Cp3 was on a tear
I was watching the Rockets games against the Cavs that year. Look at the game in 2018 in Cleveland. They definitely would have taken the title if it weren't a hamstring =(
Too bad his body gave up like it always did when we thought he would reach the finals. Like in Clippers.
1:00 Can you imagine just how locked-in the whole Rockets defense is. I bet if a bomb went off in the audience they wouldn't even notice
0:19 They were playing 5 on 3 that whole possession lmao
and they still left him wide open lol
Lmao harden was just walking down the court
@@abhinavkrishnan9305 because it was an easy point they didnt need him to run down jus to run back
@@abhinavkrishnan9305 looking back at this chris pul was right if harden dont have the ball he just standing there 😂
ugh that was our year...
The rockets really traded this man for Russell Westbrick
I mean, Westbrook carried Harden since December to March with his career high field goal percentage and sacrifice his other stats for win.
Ppl can't blame his performance in the bubble, he is late to join and completely miss the team practice for rebuild chemistry due to Covid-19, and he injuries once again in the second game during the return and re-returned when the series is tied at 2-2 , the hugest moment to the team in the whole season, what do u except from a guy like that?
@@lpy1102 Still it was a mistake to think that Harden and Westbrook would be a better duo than Harden and CP
@@unknownuser5645 man as a rockets fan I wish things were like this again. We rlly took cp3 for granted.
@@pyrozendynasty7849 Harden is the problem in Houston
@@deku8910 facts. Facts. Facts. Facts. FACTS.
One of CP3 best years his 3 point shot took off in Houston
One of the only players in the league I will honestly say deserves a ring. Not Westbrook. Not Dame. Not Harden. This guy was and still is champion pedigree, injuries just cost him so many opportunities
Damn as a spurs fan i remember when Cp3 was torching us in the first round of 2015. Dude was ridiculous
Bruh that was straight up cold🤢🔥
also probably the game that got him traded. look at Harden's body language, not happy at all.
Fr bro look at 0:19 to 0:29 just bitching and moaning walking down the court cause he didn't get the ball, he didn't even get up the court that possession and didn't celebrate on any of CP3s shots instead of the last one🤦🏿♂️
@@jft2nd i’m so done with harden in houston... he’s as toxic and as bad a leaderpeople say kyrie irving is
This is why Harden didn’t like CP3, cuz he could close!!
I question harden's basketball iq sometimes if you watch CP had to wave him off like 3 times. If we didn't see him physically play well off ball in OKC I'd almost say harden has no game instincts.
LMAO are you stupid?! They got rid of CP because they knew he was exiting his prime and wasn't really an All-Star anymore. I don't care what happened in OKC, CP was not a real All-Star after his Clipper days.
@@guesswhonot1620 so they get Westbrook, an all-star right?! Another non closer and they get bounced easily! If CP doesn’t get hurt against the Dubs then they go to the finals. Harden is a wreck ball god, nothing else
@@guesswhonot1620 eating your words now huh
Drafted by New Orleans, they get good.
Goes to the Clippers, leads Lob City.
Goes to Houston, they improve.
Goes to OKC, they stay competitive.
Goes to Phoenix, they improve.
CP3 is that dude.
one of my favorite teams of all time. their offense was revolutionary im spamming the 3 and revitalizing iso ball with spacing and mismatch hunting.
Wow that group was so awesome. Can’t believe they lost to GSW after being up 3-2😭😭😭 it was their year! They would have easily defeated LeBron
Chris paul hits huge 3 to cut the lead down to 42… most clutch player of all time. RESPECT
Ahh... the profanity I yelled this night.
Wow.. ill always have so much respect for Chris Paul. He made the thunder really good with barely any help. He is one of my favorite true point guards ever
What an inspiring performance by chris paul ! His short time with Houston meant more to him than his time with the clippers
Cp3 was having flashbacks to that blown 3-1 lead😂
CP3 is a player you expected to have at least 3 rings. Such a great player.
I really want to know whats going on in Hardens head when he keeps calling for the ball? As if CP3 isn't in god mode or something
The rest of the Rockets realized CP3 was burning hot, and made sure he had the ball in his hands. Harden didn’t like that shit.
i was at game 2 in the series vs gsw. i remember as i was eating popcorn just casually watching the game and outta nowhere cp3 breaks curry and hits a shot for the 2nd game of the season. i would absolutely do anything for cp3 to have not gotten injured that year
This team was night and day when CP3 got to lead and Harden took a back seat. If only Harden was 2nd option all the time...
this duo was something else
The one thing I remember from the Chris Paul and Harden duo is Chris Paul almost always showing up in the clutch when Harden dissapeared
And the opposite, harden showing up when Chris Paul disappeared
As a rockets fan I really miss this team. Cp3 is a beast
Maybe I’m hating a little bit but if Harden doesn’t get the ball the man doesn’t motion, doesn’t cut, doesn’t screen. He literally just stands there. At least run to the corner and take your man out of the play lol
That's actually how the offense is designed, harden stays in one spot to take away a help defender and as an outlet when shot clock is running down.
Capila was so great for this team man warriors had a hard time scoring in the paint when capila was on the court
This team was at its best with Chris
This was our year and we lost it all against the warriors we were by them 😔
One thing you cant say about chris paul is that HE is a choker. He has only truly choked once maybe twice in the playoffs, otherwise hes been one of the most clutch guys jn the league
forgot the best one, when he was down 45 in an elimination game vs dallas
Golden State fans will always complain that they would’ve beat the Raps in 2019, but say we still wouldn’t have beat them if CP3 didn’t get injured...the salt is real in the Bay
I love how CP3 denied James Harden, and you can see that even though the Rockets was about to make it to the next round, Harden wasn't happy. Seems to me that James Harden do not care about winning.
I mean I'm by no means a harden fan but to be fair to him for the last shot he raised his arms in celebration
theres literally nothing to show that at all this is a skip bayless level bad take. playing arm chair psychologist
That mentality is stroong
Miss the little man. Wish we could've kept CP3, Harden, and WB and went Microball.
Those are 3 of the 6 guys in the nba making at least 40million a year lol rockets would have zero cap space left
Westbrook is SUCH a liability bro
@@the1aj39 Ya we saw him do terrible things in the 2nd round... then again the Rockets were playing against the Lakers, but still. Would you rather ever have CP3 on your team or Russ? Personally I'd have CP3 for a number of reasons over Russ.
@@the1aj39 Typical basketball fans-know nothing about the game. Westbrook is a amazing slasher and Great playmaker- no it’s not stat piling he’s actually good at it. He’s a P&R guard with nobody to play P&R with. By trading Capela they rendered Russ even more obselete than he usually would be. The minute they traded Capela, you should have expect this. If Russ had a Good big man, you’d see him fit in a lot more. And tbh that would help the rockets overall. The team literally Lived and Died by the amount of 3’s they made. Stop blaming Russ for not making his- you knew that what you acquired him. And you didn’t properly equip him to do what he’s done for years with success
@@anthonydeshields9613 I'm not even a Rockets fan lol but I mean yeah if you guys TRADED Capela away to HELP Westbrook and he played like trash when they needed him the most then yeah he's a liability
AS A DIE HARD ROCKET FAN 🥺 i can’t watch this knowing what could’ve been 🥺
It was so easy to spot which of your friends did not know about basketball, when they talked about how Westbrook was an upgrade from Cp3.
If you think about it, this years Suns team is built like 2018 Rockets. This Rockets team is obviously better but the Suns can do a little bit of damage
I miss this team😤🚀
2:15
This makes me soo hype for the thunder!!! They’re gonna be the team to beat
Man, I'm excited. He's a Sun now.
2nd round exits
@@johnjohn-gt2wz well well well
@@johnjohn-gt2wz well well
Man o man how I love Chris Paul
2:25 that shot was ridiculous. amazing shot
this was their year. im an lbj fan and no way the cavs beat this team. it hurts to know these guys lost because of 27 straight misses.
Paul the dance fires GOOOD!!!!
Damn I miss the fans in the stands🤦🏻♂️the energy is incredible
In so many of these clips u can see harden just walk back on offense and walk out of frame.... he’s the problem
If only he knew how to play off-ball, he'll be one of the best sgs of all time
I miss this team :(
Cp3 harden Gordon tucker capella was the bomb. Would’ve won the chip if it weren’t for that injury🤦♂️ and people call harden trash. He was by far the closest to beating the big 3 warriors and he was the only one to be selected as an allstar on his team🤦♂️
Few people deserve a ring more than this guy
CP3 was a superstar in that postseason until tragedy struck
Chris Paul Gabe the rockets a pace. Russ goes 110 miles per hour every time. That shit cool in a one on one game but as a team you gotta go troll the pace and know when to slow down
the "REJECTED BY CAPELAA, COUNT IT!!!! go...right?"
Nice Lebron fan here liked
Unbelievable CP3
Cp3 clutch when it comes to playoff time.
never should've got rid of him!
Most clutch NBA player in the league rn
I like videos like this😃
The game that got Chris Paul traded... James Harden was pissed having to play off ball
Houston’s only hope
I still believe if CP3 was healthy, the Rockets was the better team than the Warriors.
Chris paul in rockets is perfect
If rockets really depends on cp3's iq maybe they have a ring back on 2018
rudy gobert got his jersey untucked! that's a delay of game!
This team could of won a championship
meanwhile harden standing there waiting for the ball
No he wasn't. He was just letting CP do his thing. He's not that selfish.
Defense was solid overall too
Now we got Westbrook. *sigh* I'm so sorry- 😓😞😥
And reports are both Westbrook and Harden want out. Crazy how quickly it all crumbled
POINT GOD!!! Way better and more impactful than russell westbrick. Deserves a ring before he retires.
They were supposed to win the title that year. It sucks that CP went down with an injury at the worst possible time. Also, y'all need to stop throwing sh*t at Harden and Russ. CP was NOT better in OKC than he was in Houston.
Rockets will be champ this year but sad😢
2k: Hey, let's make sure to watch game film to make sure he's more realistic!
The footage they watch:
"Add Kurt Angel to the mix"
I miss Chris Paul 😔😔
Trading chris paul was the rockets biggest mistake
just remember while cp3 was closing games for harden, harden wanted him out because he wanted his "homie" wesbrook
The best Game he had
Meanwhile James harden didn’t even attempt to run back on offense. What a joke he’ll never win a championship
Where was this guy in the Finals??
