    I’m pretty sure Paul was in at the beginning of the run for a least a portion of it.

    He was running and jumping all over Morey on the court. Must've been the adrenaline.

    Playing on one leg, he still had 11 assists, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, and just 1 turnover. The scoring will come.

    Availability counts.

    No problem if he misses 10-20 regular season games. But needs to get 62+ in there and be healthy for the playoffs.

    Damn... the Rockets fan in me is worried that this injury becomes lingering and then season-ending.

    Rest him. Ice that knee and let him get well.

    Me too. I would be devestated If we never got to see this team with a full strength Chris Paul. We could really be special.

    I hope he has those Lebron knees that seem to never age.

    We need to let him rest and rehab in Sacramento, and we need to get a better 4th string guard.

    Exactly. Only a true first ballot future hall of famer and best advanced statistic/metric PG ever can have this kind of a stat line on one leg. The "11 assists and 1 turnover" is really all I care about when it comes to elite PG production. Then he gets 8 boards and 2 steals and had a noticeable defensive impact throughout the game (esp late) where he disrupted passes, played great POST defense (David West even though he made the tough turn around) and other intangibles that don't show up on the box score.

    And I think it's fair to say CP3 is not yet truly comfortable in this system yet. We got the "bad" CP3 last night.....and I'll take it!

    Mike D'Antoni:

    It's nagging. We'll sit him until the training staff think he's ready to go. Try to get over it totally.

    Saturday?

    Still in play but it's hard.

    Who's starting?

    Eric Gordon.

    When he is available, what is the challenge?

    Don't think it's a challenge. We got 2 great players that play very well on & off the ball. I don't see a problem. He wasn't healthy yesterday so he was going half speed & we're playing Golden State. That was the challenge yesterday. They'll keep figuring things out. We're looking forward to just getting him back healthy, that's the biggest thing.

    Damn so glad you’re a rockets fan. No other team deserves a poster like you.

    Harden can get us a top 3 seed. Just wrap CP3 in bubble wrap and bring him out as needed aka playoffs.

    Don't you dare insult Bobby Brown like that. When BB plays, we have a 50-50 shot of winning.

    CP3 is injury prone and getting older. We're going to be in for a lot of long nights if Morey doesn't find a proper backup so Harden doesn't have to play 40 min per game.

    That is why he is on a one year deal.

    Don't worry, CP3 is doing what CP3 does better than anything else. Being injured.

    I'm hearing

    Injury = bone-on-bone
    Status = day-to-day

    Has Eric Gordon made Chris Paul obsolete?

    I hope he's ready to go by Dallas .

    Demetrius is a joke and we need to get everyone's minutes down a bit .

    I wish we had kept a young guard with more upside
