Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul will miss Saturday's Game 6 of the Western Conference finals at Golden State with a right hamstring strain, the team announced Friday.

Paul will be re-evaluated after the team returns to Houston.

  • With the Rockets a win away from the NBA Finals, James Harden isn't concerned that his trademark 3-point shot isn't landing so long as the team keeps winning.


Paul exited Houston's 98-94 Game 5 win over the Golden State Warriorsin the final minute of Thursday's contest and received extensive postgame treatment, leaving the Toyota Center around midnight.

A 13-year veteran who is one win away from his first NBA Finals appearance, Paul reached for the hamstring after missing a runner in the lane with 51.7 seconds left. He limped noticeably during the next two possessions and checked out of the game after briefly consulting with Rockets athletic trainer Keith Jones during a timeout with 22.4 seconds remaining.

Paul scored 18 of his 20 points in the second half to help Houston take a 3-2 series lead. He also had seven rebounds, six assists and three steals.

He has been dealing with soreness in his right foot since late in Game 2. He said the soreness diminished significantly between Games 3 and 4.

Paul has been sidelined by a hamstring injury on four occasions during his career, according to ESPN Stats & Information. His shortest absence due to a hamstring injury was two games, which occurred during the 2015 West semifinals against the Rockets, when he played for the LA Clippers. A hamstring injury sidelined Paul for five games in January 2012, seven games in December 2016 and January 2017, and three games in March this season.

The Rockets managed to go 15-6 this season in games Paul missed when they had probable MVP guard James Harden and blossoming star center Clint Capela available. Houston has outscored the Warriors by 11 points in 47 minutes during the West finals with Harden on the floor and Paul resting.
 
He not missing game 7

We gotta stay strong.

Lock in on our assignments.

I like PJ tucker reply to his shitty game 4. He was solid and shows toughness.

Gerald green hit some tough and difficult shots.

Ariza needs to be shooting with Kobe in the gym ASAP.

Eric Gordon keep gunning and do what u do. I need 30 out u in game 6.

Capela keep eating and showing a tough paint presence. Don’t let them get shit. No Ribs No rice no champagne, nothing nigga.

Harden, last but not least. You are the fucking MVP. This is your TEAM. Your Moment. I need almost 50 or 60 out of you. This game seals your fate into who u really are. A basketball player or a Hooper. Show the fuck up.

EDIT: Mike D antoni, you are a fucking Olympic coach. U have a offense that the whole league is still trying to copy. This game seals your hall of fame status and the rest of how your life will be moving forward.

God bless
Coach em up Fresh!!
 
Losing Paul makes it way more easier to defend the Rockets since Harden is now the only playmaker. As much as people criticized Harden for iso ball, it's the gift & the curse in this series because its slowing down the pace for the Warriors. Rockets can't afford to get in a fast paced game with GS.

Man if that game speeds up....


Look out



Its lowkey scary how fast the game gets with the Warriors, and don't let KD, Steph or Klay start cookin...

3pts lead can jump out to 12, 16 in a matter of 2 -3 minutes

If you think the Rockets made the last 2 games ugly, they have to make it as ugly as possible now with no CP3

That's why D'Antoni is purposely making the flow slow. That way they can get back on defense & rely on Tucker, Ariza & Capela to defend.
 
Congrats on Doc Rivers extension. Couldnt happen to a better guy.. you greasy head whore.

aren't you rebuilding, you took the power from him. So why are you paying him all that money :smh:

and they should have traded that big dufus in the middle. He had more trade value during the season, because now he will be in his last year

yup thats what you have to do, unless you have size, scoring and toughness like okc did that helped them go to up 3-1
 
Bet the bitch asses been in here doing back flips.

Dubs are behind, where they never been. Hopefully they wake up.

Hero ball has lost a fuck ton of games ther playoffs... get back to what works, move the ball and move without the ball.

The only thing “Ugly” about the Rockets was their shooting. They missed 30 threes! :smh:
 
Where is the Florida Evans damn damn damn. Houston is way too beatable without Paul. Harden is really going to let the threes fly now and play no defense. Don't be surprised if he is 0 for 14 from three point land.
