    Yup this doesn't make sense at all. Chris traveling with the team and forgoing hours of treatment along with the team not sharing MRI results = worst case scenario that they know he will be ruled out of game 7 so there's no point in continuous treatment.

    This is what im thinking. And the fact that they ruled him out of this game so quickly does not bode well for the rest of this series.

    This was true...

    Until you realize that they just aren't good offensively against anyone this series... except David West, lol. The Rockets shooting was bad in the first three games (except Game 2), and it was bad in Games 4 and 5. It's just been bad.

    The Iggy loss has hurt them more offensively, imo. Has changed their rotation. Has contributed to the ISO'ation of the GSW offense.

    You know that pain in your chest when something bad happens to you? This is a first world problem, but it hurts so damn bad.

    I’ve been sick all morning. This has been my biggest fear all season and it happens right when we have perhaps the best team OAT on the brink of elimination.

    Paul's injury ruins the celebration from last night's win

    Hoping Harden steps up and gets his **** together. If we finish in GS tomorrow. Then CP3 can get a longer. Possibly 5 days.

    I'm not religius and i don't believe in those kind of things but if there's some sort of divine justice or whatever, the Rockets will win this series, smdh i still can't believe we are 3-2 against the Warriors (best team ever bla bla) and Chris Paul got injured in the last 30 seconds of the game, this has to be a nightmare.

    Capela/Nene
    Tucker/Ryno
    Ariza/Luc
    Harden/Gordon

    CP3 is incredible, but that is not a below average team. It's not unstoppable, or legendary, nor should it be able to compete with a healthy Warriors team at face-value, but below average? Agree to disagree.

    Eddie Johnson is optimistic about Paul's injury. He says Chris was walking pretty normally after the game.

    Anderson automatically makes that lineup horrible.

    I can't be the only one here with pure doomsday thoughts. Harden is the motor while Paul is the transmission... we can't switch it into high gear without him I feel.

    I feel this is the end of the road. Horrible timing.

    He’s not that injured. If he was he wouldn’t travel. If this was the finals game 7 I think he plays. He’ll be ready for game seven in a few days.
