CP3 will not play in game 1 vs Rockets

[Rose'sACL]

this sucks.

[Cocaine80s]

No excuses

Clippers are stacked so it's a fair series

[smoovegittar]

They can't afford to not have him play. Crucial.

[daily]

Don't let go of the rope

[Taller than CP3]

This is such bullshit.

F*ck the Warriors and their asterisk ring.

[SyRyanYang]

Damn this sucks. How long will he be out?

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

I'm actually livid w/ this news. SMH.

Did something happen after game 7 where his injury became worse? Clips can't afford this dude NOT to play in any game.

[zizozain]

they are going to lose even with CP3.

resting him is a good move

[RRR3]

****. Flake better step up

[PsychoBe]

no excuses.

[daily]

Damn this sucks. How long will he be out?Sounds game to game. Tough decision, play him and hope he doesn't tear it up so bad he's out until next fall or rest him and hope the team can hold on tight until he gets back

[alenleomessi]

blake to drop 45/15/8

[dazzer87]

They better not trying resting him till game 3....:facepalm Clippers need one of these two first games or the series is pretty much over....

[navy]

Clippers have no chance to be honest. Austin Rivers and Jamal Crawford playing point.

[Leftimage]

I remember he was wincing after his game-winner. The fact he actually had a pulled hammy makes it an even more legendary shot :cheers:

Hope he's back for game 2

He's not resting he's injured....

[Spurs5Rings2014]

If they knew the injury was so serious, why not sit him out in Game 7 vs. us? Tunnel visioned beating the defending champs in the first round just to get swept in the second. It would of been within the spirit of competition to just bow out gracefully. Instead now the Rockets get an easy out en route to giving the Warriors an easy out. Well played, Clippers.

Well played... :coleman:

[jimmybball]

Wow. If only Spurs won game 7. Rockets going to get that asterisk WCF visit.

[Spurs m8]

Good, sucked in, out all series, told ya

[TheMarkMadsen]

he played pretty damn well last time i saw him :confusedshrug:

very surprised that he's sitting out.. if you were healthy enough to hit the game winner last game how are you not healthy enough to play the next game?

Isiah dropped 40+ in a finals game and could barely walk.. come on Chris this is the playoffs :coleman:

They're a team of stupid mother****ers.
Round 1 is basically a championship to them, did you see the little bitch crying?

Has anyone else ever cried after winning round 1?

[Budadiiii]

Clippers still have a great shot to steal game 1.

its more bearable to play through injuries when they first occur during the course of the game because the adrenaline is pumping.

the worst of the injury is felt the morning after.

I know people that were able to finish a game with a torn acl just fine.

A lot of these critics never touched a ball before. I dislocated my shoulder playing football, ended up finishing the game but couldn't play another game after that till I had surgery.

[LoneyROY7]

:oldlol:

Y'all overreacting hardcore. It's one game. Blake will step up tonight anyway.

I've played basketball my entire life, and am not being a "critic". I'm a Clippers fan you clown. :oldlol:

[SwishSquared]

Doc's holding him out. Said he didn't even consult CP3 on the decision, only the medical staff, b/c he knew Paul would insist on playing. Rather get him a couple extra days' worth of rest/treatment so he's hopefully healthier the rest of the series.

I'm gonna LOL if Rivers plays 30 mins though.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

I expect Blake to show up but he can have the best game of his life and they wont win. Clips PG rotation is Austin/Hudson lmao

[Spaulding]

they are going to lose even with CP3.

People said same thing when they played Spurs.

Sooooo your words mean nothing.

they should of started Crawford and Reddick, have Austin come off the bench as usual. Doc with that favoritism, smh! :facepalm

[Pushxx]

IT'S OK DOC GOT THEM AUSTIN RIVERS...the most fringe-NBA player to ever get 20+ MPG in 4 seasons.

30% 3-PT shooter and that's his absolute best asset!

Get 'em.

[MJistheGOAT]

So he sent Spurs fishing in an epic game ...

For this???

Life is unfair.

Not our fault Doc can't GM.
Suck it up, princesses
