These minus plus stats are to obscure and not a true reflection of the totality of the players body of work
Go watch the highlights of Chris Paul in game 7 against the Spurs with a hamstring injury. You will all feel better.
Here is a wild theory: CP3 is staging this and is fine. Worriers get hopes up, relax a bit in GM 6 Then we stomp on them with a healthy CP3. Rox in 6! That's not that hard to stage and is totally believable given his age and history. Why else was Keith Jones smiling on the court, MDA so cheerful and upbeat at post game How else could he declare he was alright and "oh yeah" comment about game 6. I know- drunken wishful thinking with only 1 point lead Btw- there WAS contact with Cook. Cp's right leg hit cook right above cook's bony knee. So there's that.
Well its a tired warrior with their backs on the wall. BOTH KD and curry folded in this same situation before. If Harden brings it on Game 6 and with the same intensity on defense we have a chance. Keep it close and snatch the win.
The single flaw in that theory is that Chris Paul is too much of a competitor to WILLINGLY sit out the final minute in a must win game just to "scare" Kerr.
"Release the Kraken" After the Thunders did lose to the Jazz; Far far away on the Rockets bench, While the fans, ClutchFans, persistently razz The Kraken sitteth: faintest insults’ stench About his bench-ridden ass; above him hang Jumbotrons of millennial growth and height; And far away into the sickly light, From many a spacious seat the Rowdies gang Undaunted and enormous dance cams leap Cheering with waving arms the resting has-been. There hath he sat for ages, with his loot, Fattening upon huge payroll in his keep, Until the latter fire shall heat him deep; Then once by man and clutchfans to be seen, In roaring he shall rise and from past the arc shoot. by @Os Trigonum
I wish I could believe you, but because he can't get back, we give them a wide open three, just the basketball god is on our side this time, it bounced out.
Ben Dubose is always optimistic. He's so optimistic it gets aggravating sometimes. Mostly I love him because he's such a die hard but him being glass half full doesn't mean anything since he's always that way.
Why would he “stage” an injury with the intention of fooling the Warriors only to tell a reporter he’s fine. Use head please.
It was 3yrs ago (2015), when we played against the injured Paul. Let's get this right. I feel we owe it to Paul and my superstitious nervousness. Fwiw. Watch him nail the three after dribbling up the court grabbing his hammie.
Lmao are you guys purposely getting the number wrong? Even @The Cat put the wrong year in his tweet. @heypartner finally set the record straight. It was 2015. Man I honestly can’t sleep. Pumped up off of andrenaline and anxiety.
