    If we get past GSW and somehow lose cp3 for the finals, can we win a title without him?

    Would be a psychological blow if he can't.

    Would be a massive psychological boost if he could.

    Hard to see him not going in any capacity tomorrow. That would be a devastating psychological blow at this point where we (and his teammate) have held out real hope he could go.

    Without CP3, Chance of Winning the game 7 is diminishing.

    Don't get your hopes up for tomorrow's game. I'm hoping that if we win Paul will be available at some point in the finals.

    If he plays and plays like his normal self, we have a chance. Just doesn't seem likely. It would be a miracle recovery. Willis Reed entrance would be nice. I wouldn't mind being "shot up" if there is minimal risk of permanent damage. It is likely his call.

    Yes, definitely. Honestly, this is the nba finals right here... game 7. I’d rather have CP3 give us anything he’s got, even if he misses the finals, because of the strain he puts on his leg. I’m not scared of the Cavs or Celtics.

    Yes.

    LBJ's team is weak as ever....Boston is missing Kyrie. (Hayward who didn't play at all) The Sixers are in the process of becoming...Toronto, etc....

    Right now, there is a shakeout (to use a trading analogy) of sorts in the East..It will be stronger than it has been in many, many years.....next year.

    Presently, the winner is fodder to be kicked around by the Western Conference rep.

    If Chris is close, they'll shoot him up and he'll play.

    He won't/shouldn't play. The Rockets can beat GS one freaking game without him. If he rips the muscle completely off the bone that would be a disaster. Not to mention his hammy has no power.

    Bring Cp3 off the bench for the last 4 minutes of each quarter to buy Harden some rest. Just to assist and shoot 3’s no layups.

    Not to mention nearly impossible to do given that he is playing basketball and not dodging a giant steak knife. I’m only a physician though so you probably know what you’re talking about ;-)

    It's impossible to completely tear his hammy? thanks for the medical info, guy who just joined the forum.

    Rockets don't even need CP3 to start, just come in when Harden rests. And some time in the 4th to calm Harden the hell down.

    I bet you he's gonna play. Rockets pulling a Patriots right now, acting like Gronk injured all the way till game day.

    Get out to a big lead

    Then put all defensive players out there for the 3rd quarter

    Then bring CP3 in for the entire 4th quarter

    They need him to dribble the ball for 2 minutes each quarter when harden sits.

    I do not want to see green and Gordon pg duo, it looks like a gleague team
