Game 7 and Chris Paul’s hamstring

in #sports6 years ago

B218FED6-FDC7-4846-B80C-9DECB944558C.jpeg Back to back game 7s! You have to love it! The last time the Eastern and Western Conference have both gone to a game 7 was 1979! Tonight the Rockets face off against the Warriors and the big question is Chris Paul’s hamstring. If he’s 80% the Rockets have a chance. If he doesn’t play the Rockets really don’t have a chance. His defensive presence is irreplaceable. He’s a 7 time all NBA defensive first team. If Chris Paul plays I expect this game to be an awesome back and fourth game. If not I expect it to be a blow out and another terrible finals. Whoever wins I believe they beat the Cavs so tonight is the nba finals in my eyes.

I hate the thing that GSW are getting lucky with these injuries of the opponent's best player.

Same thing happened last year, when Zaza injured Kawhi.

Yeah it’s just unfortunate events for teams that play the warriors

Don't forget the Warriors have been without Andre Iguodala for much of the series as well. It's unfortunate, but injuries are a part of the game. Houston will still have a chance with the game on their home court, but it will be tough for sure.

Yeah injuries suck Iguodala is huge defensively for the warriors.

But Iggy is a bench player, and Paul is their best player, imo.

Can't be compared.

GSW still has 4 superstars.

Both are very valuable players to their respective teams. Chris Paul was making a difference in the series, but that doesn't mean Iguodala wasn't as well.

Iggy may come off the bench in the regular season, but he was a part of the starting 5 in this series for a reason. Steve Kerr knows they matched up the best with him in the lineup. Also don't forget he was the Finals MVP for the Warriors just a couple of years ago. They rely on him late game to handle the ball and make good decisions.

I feel for Paul because he is the ultimate competitor and he has been hurt multiple times in the playoffs. I could see them right back there again next year.
