Sure but is there a guarantee? BTW I dun see why they are keeping this decision as secret, from the fans......just make a decision.
This is a trick question only because is it worth playing CP3 if he's not even 30%? It sounds like if he does play he will literally play on one leg...vs....if he doesn't? If he doesn't and you manage to win the game he gets A LOT of rest, you may even get away with resting him first 3-4 games of the series and then bring him back healtheir for the key games of the finals. After sleeping on it, I rest him. I think we can beat them at home without CP3. I'm not sure if he will be any good how he is now, the moment he's on the floor they will attack him on defense relentlessly.
I know we win if CP3 plays, but I also know Douchebag Green will hammer on that hamstring. I saw Green try to injure CP3's leg by clipping him from behind in one of the earlier games. Green is a dirty player and the NBA should be ashamed for allowing him to hurt players. But instead the NBA is gullible to Kerr's excuses (lies) that Green gets "too hyped up".... I think if we do play CP3, it should be off the bench...reserved minutes.
Most NBA players would give anything to win a championship. And it’s not like this is CP3’s first max contract. He’s already made a lot of money in his career, and he’s going to get a nice contract from the Rockets or someone else this offseason. He’s set for life financially no matter what. Pretty sure he views playing tonight as a risk worth taking if he feels he can help the team even a little bit.
He probably hasnt even tested it out yet. Im sure he will like 45 min before gametime then we will know
Maybe he can take part in that Toyota center happy hour from 6-7:30, get some $2 hot dogs and $5 beers... see how he feels after that and some painkillers. Let’s go, Rockets!!
You don't want him limping around out there in pain and completely ineffective. That will hurt more than help. I just don't see how he can go after that injury. This whole wait and see thing is likely a mind game. I seriously doubt he plays.
If we go to the Finals. Ryno needs to play. Need more shooters and space vs Cleveland and they that way you have more size vs LeBron.
he'll play and get let loose vs cleveland. cleveland defense sucks. he just isn't physical enough for this series or the jazz
