Agreed. If he is done, so too are the Rockets, unfortunately. Let's hope it cramped on him, and didn't actually pull it or tear it.
Well, GS definitely didn’t keep playing like they did in Game 1.
Gotta give D’Antoni and Houston some credit too for their defense.
I’m absolutely impressed with their defense. They are doing such a good job denying the 3. They must have noticed that GS will not drive much or something. And they are doing a good job of leaving bad shooters open - at least better than they had. I’m no expert, but that’s what it seems like and damn is it working. Fun to watch.
Agreed. Especially if Harden can't break out of his shooting slump soon. He's missed his last twenty three point attempts. Terrible time to go cold. If Paul can't go in Game 6 they'll need Harden to play like an MVP just to stay in the game.
It's confirmed that CP3 will be out for at least game 6. No word on game 7.
That's a huge break for GSW.
That's a huge break for GSW.
It may not be a bad thing for Houston if GS blows them out in Game 6. Rest your guys a little, and take your shot at home in Game 7. If Paul is out you just gotta hope Harden, Gordon, and Green combine for about 25 threes.
My boss coached against Tatum's dad in a youth league in St. Louis. The guy was constantly on the court during play and the refs refused to T him up. My boss told the refs but they refused to do it. Kind of a Lavar Ball type but not quite as arrogant.
Celtics should get the MVT award. Most Valuable Team. They are young group but they have 5-7 players playing that share the ball. Different players leading each night. Celtic Pride!!
I still think the bigger issue is Iguadola out for GSW. That really affects what KD and Green have to do on the defensive end of the floor. The Rockets were getting every mismatch they wanted with a token high ball screen and a lot of that was ending up with Eric Gordon getting good looks from 3 or Harden getting to the rim at will.
Yeah, I guess. But with a hamstring injury how much difference is a couple days going to make? I thought those types of injuries tend to linger for a while. Maybe the Rockets are thinking that Chris Paul at 80% for one game is better than Chris Paul at 70% for two.
Interesting break for James Harden. He can either validate his MVP award or **** all over it in just one game.
I’m saying that assuming Paul is still out and they end up playing with 6 guys for the most part. It makes that game in Oakland damn near unwinnable.
Pretty crazy how much bad luck Chris Paul and Mike D'antoni have had in the postseason. Paul's gotten injured in the playoffs I don't know how many times, and D'antoni has been close to the Finals a couple times but never able to get over the hump.
You could tell from how he acted after the game that Paul knew he was out, I'd have guessed he thought he was done for the series. Would game 7 be Monday? That might be too soon.
Closeout game, and lebron goes for 46, 11, and 9. Dude won't let them lose without a fight. Game 7 in Boston where the celtics haven't lost. It'll be celtics and warriors.
We’re watching greatness for sure, same as when people watched Jordan.
