Chris Paul Throws Massive Shade at James Harden After Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson Contribute to 27 Missed 3s

The hot favorites from the Western Conference, the Golden State Warriors faced the Phoenix Suns in their season opener. However, they ended up being on the losing side with 104-108 points going against them. Not the best of starts for the once record setters in the league.

Both the teams were star-studded, with Kevin Durant and co. on the Suns’ end, and Powerhouses like Thompson, Curry, and Chris Paul on the Warriors’. Devin Booker outshined everyone with a phenomenal 32 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists.

Somehow amidst all this star studded action, an old beef between Chris Paul and his former teammate James Harden emerged.

Chris Paul on Missing Points

There have been instances where a lot of points were missed, chiefly by the Warriors. In the post-match media conference, Chris Paul was asked about the same. But CP looked hardly concerned about that.

In a video uploaded by ‘Warriors on NBCS’ on X (formerly Twitter), Paul answered, “I was on a team that missed 27 straight threes. I don?t think that?s going to be the case here, knock on wood.”?He refuses to believe that it is going to continue in the upcoming matches. Having senior stars like Curry, Thompson, and Paul himself in the team certainly reduces that chance

Paul over here refers to the period when he was playing for the Houston Rockets. They played extraordinarily throughout the tournament and were the first seed in the Western Conference. In the finals, CP got injured all of a sudden and the Rockets lost the match.

The Rockets team, which had James Harden in it, missed a total of 27 three-pointers. They faced the Golden State Warriors in that match, who clearly didn’t allow them to get away after such a mess.

Sour Relationship With James Harden

According to various sources, and by their former teammates, it is evidently clear that there is a beef between CP and Harden. Their relationship was so sour that Harden went to the Rockets’ management and asked to trade either of them.

They did not respect each other and their work. Both nullified each other’s contributions to the team. As a matter of fact, they went two months without speaking with each other.

At the present time, there exists no bond between the two stars. CP previously stated that there is no relationship between him and Harden. they are done for good. But at the same time, he wished him luck and said there were no hard feelings either.

Does this interview quote from Paul reginite old issues between him and Harden once again?
