Chris Paul To Miss Game 1?

If Paul misses Austin rivers will drop 30 book it

 

I agree. It looked to me like he would keep touching/grabbing it almost like it was an act.

 

I don't know... as others have said, adrenaline is a hell of a drug.

Are players allowed to use painkillers during games? Stuff like tablets or magic spray...

 

The Rockets should win Game 1 regardless. The Clippers will be running on fumes.

 

It is called adrenaline. Sometimes you just forget about whatever it is that is bothering you.

 

Chris Paul is not going to miss a game.

 

He's already flopping

 

He killed the Spurs on one leg and has no backup. It would be better for us if he doesn't play at all, even though I want him to.

 

He'll miss at least one game, 100%.

That hamstring will be worse today than it was yesterday. He may be able to go for game 1 but he will certainly be limited and we should have Terry/Prigioni constantly setting picks for Harden to force the switch so Harden can taunt him with stepback after stepback till that hamstring can't take it anymore.

Honestly one deadly stepback could literally put Paul out of commission at this point.

Don't care though, this team needs to win the first two and they can if they play to their potential.

Hamstring injuries don't hurt as much the day off as they do once it tightens up. He definitely won't play Monday and if he does it might be a mistake to do that.

Naw, if you watched CP3 last night, it was legit. He couldn't move his feet on defense at all.

 

But he could on offense?

It just seems shady.

 

That Harden and Point Guard pick up the top of the key which gets the PG onto Harden needs to be exploited time and time again so a hobbled CP3 is trying to defend Harden.

I wouldn't straight go for the backdown because he will pick up a couple of offensive fouls on CP3 flops - but his series of dribble moves should be enough to absolutely burn CP3's defense.

That could be a major weakness for the Clippers this series with the defense collapsing leading to open shooters or the big men coming up to cut off Harden's penetration leading to our big man open for lobs.

Than again.... I'm quite certain he isn't that injured at all.

 

With or without Paul, if the Clippers team plays the way it did in game 7 against San Antonio it's not going to be an easy series.

 

Gotta send him on screens every possession. Make him work

 

So true.
