I guess I was figuring on D'Antoni being smart enough to want CP as healthy and rested as possible for Game 7. But I shouldn't underestimate his stupidity.

Incorrect. You have to go for the kill when you have the momentum. That's how basketball works. This isn't the NFL when you rest a guy for a meaningless week 17 game. The NBA is a rhythm game. You go for the Game 6 win on the road. Like the Spurs vs. LA in 2003. Nobody thought we could win in LA, either, but we ended up routing them in the 4th quarter and winning by 28.

You don't just throw a free opportunity to knock off a dynasty like that.

Go for the kill, more like risk having your gun taken from you and used against you like Jackie Chan in Rush Hour. The Rockets have some stretch room, they might as well try and win without him, they still have one star and got this far by jacking up countless 3's. They could even keep attacking Curry on defense since he can be a liability.

Bottom line, they can win without CP3.

Don't forget 2014 WCF. But then again, the Spurs sat their dead weight in that one.

CP0 was a net negative imo in Game 5.

All this
:cry we can't win without Chrissy Paul :cry
stuff needs to stop.

Gerald Green, others can and already have stepped up.

Did you watch the game or just checked the box score? Yeah that's what I thought.

CP0 was atrocious in the first half. Spent the second half chucking and getting lucky a few times. Team Leader Eric "Cornerstone" Gordon carried him and Frauden, tbh.

If Paul can go you absolutely play him. You never, ever just concede a game to a team like the Warriors. Go for the kill.

I know. Gordon and Cappella were great. Gerald Greens timely trey was huge too after Golden had taken a 4 point lead and the momentum.

Just because you don't play him doesn't mean you concede and if he's hurt, playing him would hurt the team.

What’s the word on Iguodala’s availability? It doesn’t seem like the impact of his injury is getting anywhere near enough attention when him being out has made the Warriors bench a complete non factor.

Gerald Green had been solid in limit minutes. Those extra 9 points were clutch. I’d like to see him more out there especially if CP3 is a no-go.

As much as I love to shit on the Warriors: CP0 gets injured either in the playoffs or right before the playoffs every year. At some point, that isn't luck for the other team, it's just a fact of life in the NBA.

Also, the Rockets got disgustingly lucky themselves last series when all of Utah's guards got injured.

I agree on all accounts. I just find it funny that as soon as these fucks are on the verge of elimination, the Rockets have to deal with a CP3 injury. :lol

Great timing, basketball gods.

People may say that the Warriors get lucky when it comes to teams getting injured, but lets be honest. Other than maybe the Cavs in 2015 none of these other teams were going to win a 7 game series against the Warriors even when healthy. Heck I'll would say the Warriors would win Game 6 even with Chris Paul.

Just because you don't play him doesn't mean you concede and if he's hurt, playing him would hurt the team.

Not playing him would be hard for Mike D to explain to an owner who's paying out the ass for him, especially if you lose the series.

Their lack of PG depth is worse than the Spurs lack of C depth. I get that their 2 best players comprise 1.5 PG's and make a combined $52+M, so naturally the third option is going to be minimal, but like the Warriors, no team needs 5 C's in this era (even more perplexing, Anderson and Tucker aren't included in that, yet are generally the 3rd and 4th options), especially one with a preference for playing small ball.

Paul's injury leaves them with 3 uninspiring options: Gordon plays it solo or in tandem with Johnson or Jackson plays. I suspect they go with option 2 and dust off the corpse of Johnson.
