Rather have Barnes out there atleast he doesnt take shots away from Curry and Thompson.

If CP3 is good from that hamstring, Rockets in 7.

I've given up on GS. They've been lackadaisical all season and they thought they could flip the switch.

They've played 2 awful games and I don't think the Rockets will continue to shoot that poorly.

I had Warriors in 6 in February I posted that Rockets are the only team in the league that will win 2 games vs Warriors. Rockets are really great team, big props to Your team performance in Game 4 and 5. I thought of those who picked Warriors in 5 before the series, that it's disrespectful to the Rockets. If Iguodala can't play in Game 6 I wouldn't be shocked to see Rockets close this out in 6 if CP3 plays. It all depends which team will risk their player health and tell them to try to play. My head tells me Rockets in 7 now, but I didn't vote in the poll until I see before Game 6 if Iguodala and Paul play or not.

Hamstrings are hard to recover hope CP3 can come back.
Iguadalla hopefully comes back as well.

Harden is due for a game and goes for 40 I think it happens game 7.

Barnes probably would have played a lot better had he not known he was been shown the door

didnt he play vs spurs game 7 with the same injury hitting the winner of the glass?

As a Grizz fan, you guys dont how long ive hated Chris Paul. Even at this point, he is not very likeable. However, he is playing against the Warriors. He is mocking Steph Curry. He is playing very well. So, as long as he beat that superteam, he will be forgiven.

As a grizz fan, I could not care less who plays the finals but who likes the warriors? Sooo, wathing the Rockets in the finals would be awesome. Against Lebron if you ask me.

it still affected him and if it's a muscle tear, it needs about 4 to 12 weeks to get right. Rubio had the same thing and couldn't play against the rockets.

The entire world is rooting for Houston, I'd say.

Rockets when Harden, Paul, and Capela all start: 53-7 including 5-2 vs. Golden State
Rockets when one of their Big 3 doesn't start: 23-14 including 0-1 vs. Golden State (10-point home loss)

It's probable, people are rooting against GSW though rather than for Houston. Similar to tomorrow UCL final - people will root hard against Real Madrid not really root for Liverpool.

May the best team win. I dislike both teams equally well to not support one over the other. But I hope Paul recovers, even though I dislike him for being a dirty player despite all his talent, I think he has done enough over the years to deserve a break and perhaps a shot at a ring. Because one thing is for sure, next season another super team will be formed in the West and there is no guarantees the Rockets will be back and in the coming seasons there is no guarantee that the playoffs structure will remain the same.

Who wins the series?
