> This is what I remember: I am in the hallway outside the Warriors locker room as they’re coming off the court. First off, even though they were three time champions at that point, they celebrated winning that series and eliminating the Rockets on their homecourt without Kevin Durant, probably akin to as if they had won the Western Conference for the first time. They were just short of dumping water on each other, that’s how excited they were. As they were running down the hallway to the locker room, they were shouting down the hall towards the Rockets locker room “Fuck Chris Paul! Fuck Chris Paul!” They were done with him by then, and here we are four short years later, Chris Paul is a Warrior.
> **MacMahon:** I think they were done with Chris Paul but I also think that was about, they were done with hearing about, “oh if not for Chris Paul’s hamstring, the Rockets would’ve beaten the Warriors in the WCF the previous year.“

Fuck Chris Paul!
If Russ and Pat Bev could get over their shit I’m sure CP3 and the Warriors can.
Damn, that was 4 years ago.
They just REALLY like Chris Paul.
It is the way. Then he plays for you and he makes you love him
Well shit don’t make me start liking the warriors again
His name is Chris Paulsen.
Tbf, Fuck Chris Paul
Classy
Kick me off the court again boy
CP3, Draymond and Klay in the same locker room… that’s gotta be the whiniest group of players ever assembled.
Steph gonna be looking like post-presidency Barack Obama after this season
i have the feeling warriors are in for a horrible season including injuries, and im a fan
Competitive players act very competitive. More at 11.
I’d shoved the WCF years into a tiny box in the back of my mind never to be opened again, and this damn trade is dragging it all back out.
An almost entirely new squad
Well, I have bad news for them, if not for Chris Paul’s hamstring…
It’s not really as simple as “the team lost next season.” It wasn’t the same roster, in the same circumstances, playing the same kind of basketball. Chris Paul did not heal well from that injury, and it led to Harden forcing him off the team after the playoffs.
If they thought Jordan Poole quiet quitting was bad after getting punched, Chris Paul about to make sure Warriors don’t make it out of the first round.
I still to this day shout fuck Chris Paul.
I’m happy Chris Paul has never been on my team so I would have to root for him.
It’s hard enough on my mental rooting for Kyrie
They should have said “thank you chris Paul”
It’s 2023 fuck what happened in 2019
Tables the? turned how have
I do the same shit when I gotta run to the washroom at 3am.
Didn’t they play the Blazers in the WCF that year? This would be the semis right?
Conference semi finals*
I mean, now’s their best chance i guess
No its a misunderstanding. They’re saying they want to have sex with CP3 because he is a very attractive male with a nice ass.
This year, the warriors gunna fall short because of Chris Paul and the same “fuck Chris Paul” chant will happen between the fans and players alike.
its 2023 Brian Windhorst should get in the gym no one fucking cares about shit from 2019
Warriors fan here we legitimately don’t hate any player more than cp3. Brooks is a close second
I bet this happens all the time. Sports are competitive. Also that series was four years ago.
