    I do too. But I don’t see us beating the Warriors Monday with a gimp CP3 and the current officiating. Simply no way. League made it clear tonight what they prefer the Finals to be.

    Whatever happens, I think this has been an amazingly fun season. Injuries suck, but they happen. Winning championships is hard and a little luck is needed. Let's see what happens.

    That's a good point I thought earlier today. How do you keep a pg with no nba experience on a championship roster??? Like if one of Harden or Cp3 gets hurt, would Jackson play?

    This on Morey. He gets paid millions to figure out this.

    Jaylen Brown tweaked his hamstring and missed one game. I doubt Woj knows anything about the MRI.

    He may not play, but just because a player is typically out for 3 weeks with that injury doesn't mean his leg would fall off if he came back earlier. 3 weeks is regular season timeframe when you're considering long term situations. This is Game 7 of the western conference finals. A game Paul has been waiting for his entire career. There is no tomorrow. Even if he's severely limited, I'd be absolutely shocked if Paul doesn't attempt to play on Monday.

    hes gonna have to play through it. even if its just for 15-20min. If he doesn't play at all I don't like our chances.

    Injuries happen to all the teams the Warriors face in the playoffs. Yes, they have their own injuries but not to their main stars at the most crucial times in the playoffs.

    We need Paul for his experience, his ability to score in crunch time and most importantly to give his team mates the opportunities to make plays.

    Harden seemed to only give Gordon a few passes to create with in the 2nd half and if Harden goes back to Iso ball and plays no defense it significantly lowers our chances to succeed.

    It's funny that the refs swallow their whistles when anyone on the ROCKETS drive in but will blow their whistles when GSW players drive in. They haven't let either team play PLAYOFF style basketball and are so quick to over jump to call a Ticky tack foul.

    We won game 2 because PJ tucker was insanely effective and games 4 and 5 because Paul made the correct passes, played solid defense and is clearly the more consistent scorer (w/o needing to be bailed out by refs) we needed to close out games.

    We're less likely than likely to likely understand what he's likely trying to communicate, most likely--unless it's likely to not likely happen most likely.

    I had a dream the Rockets were down two and Gordan fouled out with 23 seconds left. Dan Tony put Paul in to stand in the corner to provide spacing, and the Rockets ran their offense and Harden missed the layup but got the rebound, saw Paul open in the corner and whipped it to him for the winning 3 win time expiring.

    Isiah Thomas was in a zone in Game 6 of The 1988 Finals hobbling on a sprained ankle

    He's not playing. Dan Tony knows he's not playing thats why he subbed in ISO Joe in the 4th quarter mid way to see what he's got left in that tank.

    The Answer: Nothing. Its drained.

    My dream is that Chris Paul is slow playing his health to catch the Warriors off guard and also to create one of those Paul Pierce in the Boston Garden moments when he surprises everyone by returning to the court looking actually pretty decent.

    He’ll run out onto the court, the crowd will do a standing ovation for the longest time. Then Paul will turn to the camera and shout, “I wish...for you to have a heart!”

    Adam Silver will then be moved to cry a single tear which, when it drops to the ground shatters into a million pieces and destroys the arena they’re building in San Francisco.

    Durant Curry and Thompson start to grow wrinkles. Blood trickles from Draymond’s mouth and he yells, “This cannot be!”

    The Foster Brothers appear and proclaim, “I warned you there would be consequences for breaking the sacred rules. Must we do everything for you?!?!” They raise their arms in preparation to call a Flagrant 2 Foul on James Harden, but before they can, Dick Bavetta and Steve Javie materialize out of thin air and stop them. The Foster Brothers drop to their knees.

    Javie: The fate of the universe shall be decided as it should be.
    Bavetta: In MORTAL KOMBAT
