I'm still on a high. Couldn't even get a good sleep. Just too much adrenaline.

Looking for Chris Paul news.

It's pretty incredible that we shot 23% from 3 and won Game 2. I know that the Clippers are likely going to punch back, especially at home.

But it isn't like we played particularly well in this game, outside of huge individual nights from Payne and Ayton. Even Monty said he didn't think we played great.

The fact is, without Kawhi, I just don't think the Clips have what they need to hang with us.

I think it was a huge mistake on their part to not have Kawhi travel, I know they are trying to get him right, but not having him on the bench talking to the guys, cheering them on, etc. has to be deflating. He's got championship experience that they could be leaning on in every time out, but he's in LA. All we hear about is how connected Chris Paul is to everyone and everything even though he can't be around the team. Kawhi COULD be around his team, but isnt? To me, that says he's not going to be back any time soon, and I think the Clippers know it, but it also maybe makes him out to be a little selfish.

This Flex dude is just saying what we all know

If CP3 is back this game, then we really might sweep

I'm literally knocking on wood typing this, but....

Maybe the Basketball Gods gave CP3 Covid so he wouldn't have another injury in the conference finals.

CP3 coming back for Game 3 in LA would be amazing

Also expecting the debut of Masked Book

so this means he got his negative tests then right?

If they think he could play tomorrow, then I'm going to have to assume yes, that means today is either day 1 or 2 of his cardiac screening.

woop woop!

Imagine we sweep, and bucks/hawks goes to 7, CP3 would have only played 2 games of basketball in almost a month, super rested for the finals.

Any risk of Book's nose getting in the way of playing?

Gambo who apparently is close to the team is Flex's "close to the team" guy.

I doubt it. It was just a cut and those only take about a week to clear up.

I always figured Flex talked to Jon Bloom lol he's always on the post-game shows

Paul passed all protocols including the heart exam he is back.
