    Fans are so damn fickle. When CP3 comes up big in the playoffs, these same doubters will be in the game thread posting “POINT GAWD!!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek:” and “IN MOREY WE TRUST!!!:cool::cool::cool:” Lol

    dude fleeced the Rockets.... hate that it was CP3's old ass that was the second star.

    We will never get rid of dudes contract.

    We can only hope that the Rockets make it to finals or atleast win one in the near future.

    Sucks. Suckss big time.

    Not sure about that: those guys will still be looking to trade players like baseball cards, never actually enjoying the player that's in front of them. They don't have interest in the players as people, can't enjoy anything but championship, although a championship would not reflect on them personally, except to allow them to say: "See! I've been telling you guys the whole time that #1 is the best."

    Uhm, remember when the spurs used to use this strategy on Tim Duncan to save him for the playoffs?

    Trapped in a hellish dream
    Spinning past worlds unseen
    And frightfully vanishing
    Into the dark eternal night …..

    He hasn't played in a while so he's probably soar all over.

    Not sure why it's news that Paul is not going to play in the first loss of a back to back.

    The reason it's news is because initially they said he would play this game and then they'd evaluate for the 2nd game. Now he's questionable for the first game.

    So it makes you wonder what's going on.

    My hypothesis is this: hamstrings and backs are muscular injuries, typically brought on by fatigue. Someone who’s coming back from what was clearly a fatigued hammy pull is probably going to have some general soreness getting back on the horse. Going to altitude and introducing another level of fatigue isn’t going to help him continue to get healthier, probably just puts him at risk of further injuring fatigued muscles.

    I don't think it's much of a wonder. I think this is just the new reality of Chris Paul.

    It is probably just the faux reason for sitting him out. Hopefully. You can never completely trust the Rockets and the medical news they release ("D-Mo working hard to come back, see this picture of him working out?" [24 hrs later] "D-Mo out for the playoffs!" [24 hrs later] "D-Mo on life support! DaDakota rushes to bedside vigil!"), but maybe that's true of all teams.
