2018 Rockets are such an underrated team, one of the best teams to never win a ring
Fr. Nobody remembers how good they were, they just remember the 27 threes missed
He’ll get one as a coach

his winning
He's the producer, you know there was behind the scene work like preparations and post-production type of stuff right? JJ handle the interview and he handle the rest
@@drwd4941 you ever see Scorsese standing next to Leo in their movies?
And he gets to ask questions face to face
Losing Ariza And mbah a Moute really hurt them
@GT Talks thank you
@GT Talks he was a key piece. Really good defender
@@jmoney4220 the Rockets undervalued those tough defenders a bit I feel because they didn’t work it out with melo anyway I mean they could’ve kept Arita because he was the best fit
No it didn’t . Losing after being up 3-2 was in their head . That’s why they lost the year after
@@About36Greekss so you say loosing two important role players didn’t hurt them?😂🤦♂️
Chris Paul played the best in that series out of everybody. He’s the only one on that team who is blameless in their loss.
I mean he’s had lots of untimely injuries. Not quite his fault per se but maybe he could have trained differently or something. I think he’s said recently he’s figured out how to stay healthy more in the least few years. That series was insane though. Probably the played at the highest level through 5 games of any series I’ve ever seen. Those two teams were so good.
@@morganzimmerglass9925 yea he switched to a plant based diet this year & he actually never missed a game this year at all!
@Simon Kebede James harden was pretty good but he choked in game 6 and 7. He wasn’t the only one who choked, but still
@Simon Kebede harden literally shot 23% from the field in game 5, when Chris Paul carried the rockets to the win. Then in game 7 he shot 15% from three and 41% from the field. He was inefficient throughout the series
For Houston yes
Its sad that CP3 might retire without a ring
Hes still a legend
dont worry bro, alot of mediocre plays end up with no ring, no biggie
@@strikeout77777 Mediocre? You trippin...
That's why you hit people in the nuts when you have the opportunity because you never know when you will get that chance again...good for you, Chris
Should have thugged it out for that game 7 when he got injured
Nobody:
Chris Paul: Bubs
@@nnc8171 it sounded forced at the beginning of the pod but can tell CP really calls him that
Nah if you know JJ that's his nickname
Bubs as in light bulb because JJ shoots lights out?
Neil Chawla bro you don’t even know them
Just goes to show how one injury can change the outcome to drastically
But the next year they didnt have KD and still got eliminated in 6 games 🧐
@@jsmith3607 truuuuuueee
Also the warriors didn’t have iggy from game 4 to 7 which would have impacted the series
@@jsmith3607 Chris Paul not the same anymore lol he got injury again in the season and played like he was washed
@@jsmith3607 true... but the year that cp3 is talking about was SUPPOSED to be the year u should know there is not no guarantee that you will get back
Crazy watching this now that he went to the finals and still lost but still crazy that he even went after this conversation! We were all routing for you to get your first cp3
Chris “you know what I mean” Paul
Chris "Man it's crazy" Paul
he said it as i was reading ur comment
@@cosby7141 twice for me
Chris “and what not” Paul
How many people heard cp3 say this as they read the comment😂😂
Damn this man saw the hats and shirts.
phantom gear
Yeah that gotta hurt hindsight 20/20
He just put them on for the Finals in 2021
@@albertaguilar662 full circle
that Houston team super surprised me. I thought Golden State was unbeatable, and then to see what seemed like their inevitable defeat was intense. Then, to see the injuries and everything completely derail things for the Rockets. And then for Houston to completely fall apart that next year and never be the same... I've never seen anything quite like it
Man was playing with a vengeance that series, he was willing them past the most stacked team in history. It was amazing to see. That was probably the worst timed injury in history. Had he been there for Game 6 or 7 those leads would've been a lot easier to keep for them. They still only lost by 9 in Game 7 despite that 3 point meltdown. Chris Paul can make up for 9 points idc what anyone says. They had the warriors on the ropes. And no, 2019 is not an excuse to say they wouldn't have won either. 2 different years two different teams
man straight facts. people really underestimate CP3 when it comes to the playoffs when they talk about his legacy. Man had some really unlucky breaks. I truly only saw him choke once in the playoffs.
@Tom Burkart I wasn't aware of that Tom thank you for the insight
JJ absolutely best at getting players to come and open up. Not many people will ask that question and get that Answer. CP3 needs a ring.
Big part of it is JJ is an ex player that nba players respect. A regular reporter wouldn't be as good. Also jj's questions are insightful
@@kingkang6877hes not an x-player. He's still in the league
Chris Paul is going to take Booker's game to new levels!
I hate doing this comparison but this might be the closet we will ever get to CP3 playing with a player that wants to play like Kobe.
U were right
JJ is such a wonderful interviewer. He doesn’t cutoffs players when they speak, edit out single sentence to twist players’ intentions and enlarge their mistakes. Full of respect, present the entire conversation and let the audience decide what to think.
Hopefully he gets a chip.
good joke
prolly not in phoenix, even if he don’t get a ring he still top 5 pgs of all time
Prince rings overrated
He could probably get one as a bench role in a few years, but not one where he is the main guy
@@PrinceProdigyXXII Phoenix is a hungry talented team. they will be the Heat of the West this year. Probably not getting past the LA teams, but they are gonna go far.
You can feel the pain in his voice
Game 6 klay wasn’t gonna let that happen.
And Scott foster
@@victorlott512 Fr though
Game 6 klay do be a different animal
@@victorlott512 lmao facts
Lmao JJ in every interview "I don't wanna bring up a sore subject.. but.. *continues to bring up a sore subject*"
when u get so close, sooo close to get somewhere you’ve always wanted to be all yo life. Just to come up short. I can’t tell it still bother him til this day... he probably didn’t get much sleep after that series wit GSW too.
respects to cp3 . I hope he do get a ring when his career is done 💯
Next year no kd and still got bounce in 6.
Exactly
Slightly different rockets team, they weren’t as good
2018 team won 65 games, 2019 they won 53, completely different teams.
pinoyfan?? yeah every year is a different year, expect different outcomes. 2018 rockets>2019 rockets
@@coldtrainn That's because CP3 didn't play much at all in the regular season, Harden was all alone before the playoffs, but CP3 did come back for the playoffs didn't he?
Respect to JJ for asking such a tough question
Every rockets fan feels the same way !! That was our title year !!! Damn hamstring
As a rockets fan, it still stings till this day..
as a warriors fan, its hard to remember lol
Why do folks act like Iggy, who was golden states best 3 ball defender, wasn't out that year? Came back following year and bounced out a healthy rockets without KD
And Iggy went out before CP3 did during that 2018 playoffs Lol.
Ppl forget that Iggy didnt play in the last 4 games either. GSW were up 2-1 at that time. And he was a big contributer, especially guarding Harden. So if both teams were fully healthy i dont see it going 7 games anyways. It took golden state those last 2 losses to adjust to him being gone due to crunch time lineups and matchups so no excuses
Imagine if cp3 didn't injured and rockets win in wcf makes better matchup cavs vs rockets
Rockets woulda beat the Cavs
@@jakeyyad03 Bron would’ve been too much for them
I give it a 50 50 to eather team
You can imagine if the rockets won but they didn't lose because CP3 got injured. The rockets lost to the warriors in game 3 with chris paul in the lineup by 41 points. And with CP3's track record, he wouldn't have stayed healthy for the CAV's series and harden would have chocked, yet again.
Still would have been a sweep in the finals
love you too Chris Paul nano ne nagyon lang warriors let's go engery players
I always be wondering were they put the shirts and hats of the conference champions team that lost...
I watched every single game in that series and in those 5 games with CP3,he was the best player on the floor. He outplayed KD,Curry and Harden.
Harden was the best player bruh, the offensive load was mainly on harden, CP3 was very good as a 2nd option though. Those 2 would’ve been so good had they stocked together healthy
@@Jordan-pj1nz Ofc the offensive load was on Harden, but basketball is much more than that. CP3 controlled the game, the pace, much of the playcalling, outstanding defense; and all of this with better offensive efficiency than harden.
Reading this comment made me go and do some research. Cp3, KD, Curry and Harden stats for 5 games. Seeing that Cp3 was the best out the 4 lol.
Cp3: Pts- 19.8, Ast- 4.6, Reb- 6.8, Stl- 1.8, Fg- 40.7%, 3p - 36.8%, FT - 75%.
Harden: Pts- 27.4, Ast- 5.4, Reb- 5.2, Stl- 1.6, Fg- 41.4%, 3p- 24.5%, FT- 91%.
KD: Pts- 31.2, Ast- 2.8, Reb- 5.6, Stl- 0.2, Fg- 46.5%, 3p- 40.6, Ft- 100%.
Steph: Pts- 23.8, Ast- 4.8, Reb- 6.4, Stl- 1.6, Fg- 46.%, 3p- 32.6%, Ft- 85.7%.
As a rockets fan, What great fuckin question to start this vid! I think I speak for all of houston when I say we miss cp3 as a rocket!
Honestly the cavs probably got better matchup against rockets rathenr than being swept by gsw that year😂
If I were Chris that would weigh on my mind every day. I think it was a career defining moment for him in terms of his success in the NBA. He will never win a championship in Phoenix and he knows it.. I think we all would’ve liked to see Houston vs Cavs matchup that year instead of the GS juggernaut that everyone knew was going to win. Even if the Rockets made it to the finals they’d at least be known for taking out the KD Steph juggernaut
No, even if cp3 were healthy the rockets would have still lost that series .thats what harden and cp3 does is flop,choke and lose in the playoffs. The splash bros made a dynasty regardless.The warriors without kd finished off cp3 and the rocksts in 6 games and ended Houstons season in Houston with kd in street clothes.
@@l.r9655 you’re a bot
You never know, Ayton could develop into a superstar, and along with CP and Booker you got a championship team
@@l.r9655 Cp3 has never “choked”
Another career defining moment was when cp3 actually played and kd didn't and the rockets were eliminated in 6 games in HOUSTON
the real question is would have 2018 bron been able to beat the rockets if they made it to the finals? im thinking he could get a game or 2 but prolly not the series with the team around him
Yeah if cp3 didn't injured cavs chance to winning another championship
He’s a top 5 pg all time, he’s a rockets legend for me🚀🐐
Magic
Oscar
Curry
Nash
Stockton
Isiah
All better , how cp3 top 5?
3 wins from a ring now... almost chilling to watch. Hope he walks off a champion
I think about this all the time
whoever won this series had an easy ship over an awful cavs team
Damn.. that hurt me feel his pain ..
Same thing happened to Barkley, AI, Reggie, Ewing, Malone, Stockton, Mullin, Nash, GHill, T-Mac, Vince even Penny, Yao and Kemp (who were MVP contenders for a few seasons). All these guys had huge contracts, superstar status, were fan favorites and MVP's or MVP contenders but they all failed to win an NBA championship.
CP3 dont give an F
My 2nd favorite point guard.
*didnt even watch* holup lemme get my popcorn
i love how u can tell cp3 and jj are so close
Nobody gives Harden credit for taking CP3 to his 1st n only conference finals ever
Cp3 wasn't a passenger reword that man
Cp3 was the guy my man, he’s the one who was hitting the big time shots
@@mduar1000 so if that were true what hadn’t he been pass the 2nd in 12 yrs prior to playing with Harden also James avg 30 in the playoffs that yr CP3 didn’t avg 20 so let’s not act like James didn’t carry him
Suns will be very interesting this year
Cp3 definitely deserve a ring ... damn
i didn't know there was a dude on the top left...totally forgot abt him...anyways, CP3 was and still is a beast...hope he wins a ring before he retires!
The reason why he likes trevor ariza so much because he the only one who could somewhat guard KD
Sad that we’ll never see CP3 playing in a final series
Cheer up
all the hosts should have played in the nba
I thought they was gonna eliminate GSW in 6 or 7. I was hyped
Very surprised Cp3 didn't link up with Bron on the Lakers these past 2 years
It’s that big contract but not all stars want to share the stage or get the kevin Durant tag.
@@Iwonder81 I can say, a lot of players just want a ring and to play on a contender.
Should of asked about game 6 2019
wb 2019?
So close. They could've been in the finals. It was just unfortunate
CP3 hated Stephen Curry so much bcoz of what Steph did to him in court. Rmbr that highlight where CP3 was in skates?
Liar 🤥, there are friends you fool
Dang jj!
Crazy he's on Golden state now
Cp3 deserves a ring at least !
CP3 THE GOAT FOREVER. NOBODY WILL NEVER BE BETTER THAN HIM. NEVER!!!!
Watching Chris play, I noticed a lot of his injuries have come due to him trying to sell a foul in some way. Whether it's a leg kick out to get the "and one" or it's him locking legs with another player to draw the ref's attention for the foul call. I need to go back and watch to be sure but; does anyone else notice this?
Hes a crafty player i can see it bruhh
Yep. In his Clipper days, that was CP3s and Blake's go to moves
War of attrition
I really hope CP get this chip
What’s he calling him, Bugs?
WORLD YOUTH
I know what you mean, CP! 😂
I love that he calls him bubs
Short for bubble butt
Imagine if the Rockets won that series.
Imagine 🤣
They had a shot last year. No KD but they folded
They for sure win the championship.
@@raymonddavid4061 Why do you people act like the warriors were garbage without KD or something. They were still a finals team lol
@@carnage3208 i didn't say they were garbage.. But Houston had a better bench. With KD out they had a legit chance
Him getting hurt will always be a sore. I’m convinced we woulda won if he didn’t get hurt...but we’ll never know. The team next year wasn’t nearly as good. 2018-2019 Rockets didn’t stand a chance, 2017-2018 Rockets were right there. So close
Man I really hope CP3 gets a ring.
I swear ive seein CP3 and JJ havin PTSD on this show
Nobody :
Cp3 : You know what I mean ?
If James Harden, could handle the pressure- Kendrick Perkins(on MJ)
Such a sad moment..Chris Paul and Harden would've captured that title and their careers would be viewed in such a different way..
Nah Harden is a bum. I respect Chris Paul though.
They really shouldn't have traded Russ for CP3 smh should and really should have changed that style of play Rockets would have went to the finals and won that 🏆 that Cavs team wasn't the same that year smh
But the next year they lost in 6 with the KD getting injured. Plus that style was good for playing GS, not a big and physical team like the Lakers.
@@dominiquerobinson8888 yea they should have closed out the series without kd but the rockets team was weaker that year since all the defense left. Also let’s not forget game 1 when refs completely rigged it
@@dominiquerobinson8888 yeah that ne t following year I noticed the hunger wasn't there which was sad. I noticed it from the way CP3 played and a few others. They should have added the mid range back into their offense and move the ball around more. They didnt take advantage like they should have.
@@enriquearellano3618 GS wasn't the same defensively either nor were they able to take advantage of Steph going a whole half without scoring. And I know you not talking about that Game 1 where Harden was trying kick his feet on Draymond to get a foul.
@@dominiquerobinson8888 legit the refs said it themselves there was like 6 missed calls from the 3 point line that the rockets should have got 🥱
Wish he would've won that chip with the Rockets that year.
And the year after they got smacked and kd was hurt.....
NO HAT FOR YOU!!!
CP3 BOUTTA GET A RING NOW WOOOOOTTTTTTT
Houston rockets administration was very ignorant to not keep together that same rockets team that was going to eliminate golden state
How did you have a team that was going to knock out the best team in nBA history (golden state warriors) then start trading away pieces of the team the next year??
why tf is there a oven...i got so many questions
Apparently he’s in his kitchen u can’t be that dum😂
Game 6 Klay wasnt gonna let that happen
Exactly
I'm a Warrior Band Wagoneer and I honestly think Houston would've won that Series if not because CP3's Injury. They setup their team from day 1 to specifically beat the Warriors.
and we wouldve won 2019 if not for KD & Klay's injuries.
Has to be mentioned, that injury completely changed the landscape of NBA, history, how it will be viewed... they probably win that with Paul.
Now the Rockets could be champs, Harden and Paul are winners, both probably stay together for the foreseeable future, but thats another thing.. the small ball experiment worked. Morey is a HERO.
GSW? Failed. 1 chip in 3 years, with THAT team?!
Would be looked back on as a failure.
KD's stock would sink A LOT.
And they had them. They did it all right. They had GSW pinned and cornered...
and then that.
Warriors played small ball before the rockets
here after CP0Rings just lost xd
Monstars stole his talent in that series
what a goat
Maaaaaaaaaaan
Houston was right there. Guarantee they don’t even attempt 27 3s in a row or whatever it was lol. Cp3 would’ve taken control on the game & get in the paint. So sad cuz they still only lost by 8 points.
I’m of the belief that had the Rockets beat GSW, they wouldn’t have beaten Lebron and Co. - with cp3 healthy or not.
You’ve gotta be joking smh
Bron fans be like
You do remember what happened last year right
how have people liked this comment.
People really think chris is the reason why they winning against gs during that run He played great games but he didn't carry the team. Just bec of the narrative of james always chokes in the play offs fans always think harden don't contribute even he is the reason why they get those win
the rockets would have definitely beat the warriors if he was playing but i don’t think they would’ve beat the cavs after
I hope CP3 lose again in these finals against the bucks after being up 2-0
Fun facts: Hardin is legendary scorer but...... NBA teams beware 👹
Hardin style of play demoralizing to star team mates
Hardin is terrible offball player don't have ball in his hands he is not running the floor at all
Hardin is a under average defender
Hardin is selfish star who has zero leadership skills
Hardin has most turnovers in clutch situations outta all stars
Hardin inability to make others better is the main reason he will never win a ring 🤷🏿
To think cp n Kobe would've teamed up
The rockets got their chance the next year with KD injured and still loss, that was embarrassing
Chris was still injured he wasnt the same. So was Capela and Gordon they were all up and down that whole year.
@@joeyplaysps4 excuses bro
@@joeyplaysps4 What's your point? They were playing and the warriors lost their best player and still won in 6. Injury gods went in favor of the rockets and they missed there opportunity
@@biggestbullsfan8569 they for sure should have one but they were a weaker team that year since they lost a lot of defense. Eric Gordon wasn’t consistent like 2018 and series should have at least gone 7 if the refs didn’t miss like 8 calls in game 1
@@biggestbullsfan8569 Whats my point? My point is they werent the same team from the year before because of injuries. The Warriors even without KD are one of the best teams in history. The only reason why the Raptors won is because KD AND KLAY were out. Please learn basketball.
where’s the people who tried to debunk me and say Chris Paul didnt have anxiety issues!? I told ya’ll mfs
Warriors fans make excuses that iggy was injured so it’s even that cp3 was injured. Bro you had 4 all stars in the lineup, how much help did the warriors need to win?
I feel like he not represented as the player he really is
word is - CHOKE .......
