I'll take Clips in 7 instead :)
At the very least, it's starting to look like Paul will have the extra time. meaning there's a real chance he may not miss a game. Which really is insane when you think about it.

Can a vaccinated person get over Covid in 5 days?

If the Saturday report says Paul is negative he'll play game 1.

Well I answered that in my last post, but easily the Clips even though the series would start sooner. And that was before seeing Utah jump out to this lead. But with Conley back they will be tough with Paul and without him I don't see us winning a game. Maybe a game 3 at home, but in your scenario he'd be back and I think we'd easily take both at home and have a chance to take game 5 and probably 6 or 7.

I think we could beat the Clips at least once at home without Paul and maybe twice. They just don't have enough firepower to win more than 2 I don't think even if Paul missed 4 games.

Who knows how long it takes..I've looked everywhere to find the answer to that but he has to test negative twice in 24 hours and then pass a cardiac test and then has to wait 2 days and pass another cardiac test. So it's 4 or 5 days even from his first negative test until when he can play.

And I won't be surprised if they don't tell us if he's tested positive or negative or anything and will possibly just say "He's still in COVID protocol".

I'll take a gimpy Clips team. If kawhi plays that might change, but I think he's done. All I really care about is Utah winning tonight and buying us another 2 days w/ CP.

I think he might miss game 1 if it's Tuesday, but that's max. I also want the Clips since I feel we don't like them and will be even *more* focused on putting it on them.

It's incredible that CP may only miss one game from being in covid protocol. Bad timing, sure. But that could have very easily been a series ending blow. Not just a measley game

Ugh, I thought Utah was cruising to a victory. Clean it up, we need you to go to game seven.

Me too. Playing at home the first matches I think we can face the Clippers.

Tonight, we want Utah. Sunday, I don't care. Both are tough, both are beatable.

The correct answer. Every Suns fan needs to be pulling for Utah so we can give Chris more time to recover. After that, who cares. Just get to Sunday so our series starts Tuesday.

Utah seems to be out of the match in this moment.
