No chance he fucking misses a game 7......no fucking way. I'd wager a rather large bet on that. He's never been this close to the Finals before.

I think he may well try to play game 7. Doesn't mean he'll be able to.

Do you think Magic and Byron Scott wanted to miss the finals vs. Detroit when they both strained their hammy's?

A hammy typically isn't something where they can just give you a shot and you're good.

Or an injury where playing on it isn't going to make it worse, so it's a matter of pain tolerance.

The more he plays on it, the worse it's likely to get, including potentially tearing it.

Gordon is averaging 18.2ppg in this series.....be might up to the task of assisting Harden in the scoring department.

Gordon scored 24 points in game 6 when CP was struggling shooting the ball.

Yep its funny how everyone think Houston is a lock to lose simply because Paul is out. This team won 55 games last year without him & Harden is still a top 5 player

I'm expecting Harden to have a monster game, Gordon to chip in with 20-22 points, and I think the Rockets close this out in 6.

Rockets getting blowed out tonight... Shouldn't have taken those points...

Think I'm going big the other way.

Well the way Harden has been shooting. He needs to have a Lebron performance and Gordon needs to keep doing what he is doing. For them to win those two guys and another guy has to really step up offensively...Ariza, Tucker, Capela...Gerald Green. Keep up that defense and they will be in this game

I agree with every word here.

Need to add one thing though. The Rockets are good enough to beat either Cleveland or Boston without Paul. It isn't a lock, but they can do it. I don't believe they are likely beat GS in game 7 without him.

Whatever the reinjury risk, if he can go in game 7 it is worth it. It all comes down to how effective he can be.

Agree. It's all about how badly it's strained, how well it responds to treatment and how much it limits him.

It's more likely to limit him defensively than offensively.

On offense, he can still be effective with perimeter shots and passing.

But defensively, it's more about reacting to what the opponent is doing. I would expect the Warriors to go right at him to try to make him really move around a lot on that bad hammy.

Remember Chris is in a contract year.

If he tears it, will they still give him his 200m?

I think they will. But, I bet Isiah Thomas thought the same.
