Any thoughts on how many games Chris Paul will miss in the next round? Will he miss any at all? Can the Suns win without him?

I'd be curious on results of a poll about how many games Chris Paul will miss. I haven't followed the news as much as I'd like, but it seems like he's been in quarantine for a while and was already vaccinated. If even vaccinated people have to spend weeks out of work due to protocol, it sort of makes you wonder how effective the vaccine is in the first place and what the point of it is...

It looks like it still unclear when Chris Paul might be available to play because he hasn't re-joined the team at the moment, and I don't exclude that he might miss a couple of weeks. I guess if the Suns play without CP3, then they probably will lose in WCF, Imho.

I don't think so, especially if they will play against the Clippers who are still missing Kawhi Leonard.

This is bad for CP3, he had some injury and now he is out for covid-19 protocol.

However, I know bookies are smart, and I believe CP3 will be able to play in the WCF as they are still the favorites to win the WCF.

Almost all of the teams now missed their star players and some are playing with injury.

Jazz - missed Conley
Clippers - missed Leonard
Suns - missed cp3
76ers - Embiid playing with an injury.
Nets - missed Kyrie.
Nets - Harden playing with an injury.

Brooklyn nets have some big players and probobly the best team in the league on papir. But someone is always injured. The series went into game 7 and it is a serious problem now. Bucks have an ideal chance to go through

76ers almost lose Game 6. Hack a Ben.
I thought Ben made a lot of adjustments last year. He knows that is his weakness, freethrow and outside shots. Maybe he didn't really train for it.
In that youth it would be better to strengthen those weakness early and not idle with what he already have.

Hawks just missed a very good chance for an early rest to the Conference Finals but, the Clippers didn't let it slide reviving from a 25 point deficit.
Terance Mann put ecstasy to the Clippers fans with his performance.
What's with Coach Snyder? Is it pride for Gobert? Clippers is playing small ball and every player could see he is the weak side of them. Heck, even his teammates can see it.

No God or Kings, only BITCOIN.

What a monster performance by Terrance Mann exploding 39 points. They are down by 25 but they still got that to close the game, most of the players in the floor are contributing to make them a history leading Clippers advance to WCF. Congratulations Clippers hoping you'll make it until the NBA Finals.

I think this season where almost all-star players got injured during the process, this might be the cause of not practicing so much because of coronavirus, since their body is more exposed to practice their body adjusts to less contact, but still, some of that player is battling those injuries in the process, some got severe injuries.

I think it was Pfizer that was used to vaccinate them and according to them it's just 95% to fight the virus. CP3 was hit by the other 5% missing. It was a rare case and I think they will let him go earlier because he got the first vaccine.
With how the Utah Jazz is playing right now, if they win this game the series will be forced to Game 7. It buys more time for Chris Paul while in Covid-19 protocol so he might miss just 1 game or if they will have mercy to those who are already vaccinated, he might not even miss a game.
Let's hope they changed their protocols about how many days a player should be quarantined.

Edit: Clippers came back and win. Now, CP3 might miss 2 games.

As per report, he will be out because of coronavirus health and safety protocols. And as per NBA rule, it will be a minimum of 10 days: https://www.nba.com/news/nba-establishes-health-and-safety-protocol-for-2020-21-season.

It's good that that Jazz vs Clippers games are extended, I think it's favoring Chris Paul to cover for that 10 days.

They need to repeat how they played last game 5 in order to win this series, putting Beverly and Mann gives them good defense, they should be there again to bring more pressure for the Jazz players, Playing without Kawhai, George needs to keep pushing his limits Clippers needs him to lead this team to win the series..

It's not only Paul George, but the whole team need that intensity for the whole 48 minutes, just like what they did the last game. They can't let the Jazz dictate the tempo in offense. Reggie Jackson need to score at least 20 more points to help George. Beverly and Mann to pressure Mitchell or Clarkson or whoever is hot on the Jazz.

They have a balanced attack on both offense and defense. I would say now that the Jazz is overrated for still doing the same thing over and over again. As long as Reggie Jackson, Morris, and George will continue to be consistent with their offense, there's no way the Jazz would win on the road.

The small ball play is very effective, they should stick with it.

If Conley will play, things could improve for the Jazz offense.

The line would certainly move if Conley will be declared to play in this game.

The Jazz was really successful with Conley, he is the only one with a real point guard talent as Mitchell sometimes do make a bad decision by just simply shooting the ball especially in a 3 point area, a matured PG will help the Jazz and the game 6 is a very important game for them.

If Harden was able to force himself to play despite of the injury, I think Conley should also make an exception just in this game.

2 Game 6 later. Hawks vs 76ers will start it early then next to it is Clippers vs Jazz. Both teams that will play in their home courts can finish this off to celebrate better before the Conference Finals.
But, the spreads tell differently and underdogs are Clippers and Hawks.
It's not easy to put bets as Hawks shocked us winning the game coming from a big lead of 76ers.
Clippers on the other hand had been consistently winning for the last 3 games with the Jazz even with Mitchell around. Whose side are you here?

If following homecourt advantages I'll go with Clippers, It will be more harder for them if they'll give Jazz another chance.

Just like what Paul George said post interview, he doesn't want to go back to Salt Lake for a game 7.

Game 7 is a must to watch for all of us here because it is the most exciting series in the Eastern Conference. I expect to see this kind of game especially when the Milwaukee Bucks defeated their opponent in the first round with a 4-0, They are not playing around this year. This last game will be one of the best competitive matches in the NBA we will ever see. This is history in the making and I'm sure a lot of you guys will watch it live tomorrow night.

The odds for game7 are already out and it's even so I think Kyrie Irving will still not suit up on that game.

Yup, that would be exciting as I think the winner on that one will eventually become the NBA champion as they are the only team that has not been affected so badly with injury.

Have a gut feeling though that Joe Harris, Jeff Green, and James Harden three's will finally hit their mark and destroyed the Bucks just like what they did in games 1 and 2 hehe.

Bucks is not a bad team they are definitely a good team but the reality is that Nets is losing because they are lacking Irving which is an important player obviously and Harden is not 100% back neither, dude scored 5 points last time, and this time 16 points which is not bad but not what you expect from someone like him.

So long story short it is basically Bucks vs Durant right now and that's a challenge. Let's see what is going to happen in game 7, it is going to be a good challenge and the real thrill is that if Bucks gets eliminated (which is possible it is Durant after all) I am sure Bud is gone, they will get Carlisle if they can since he is out of Dallas. Also just the other day there was news about Dallas having problems at organization and Cuban said it was bullshit, yet after just few days Donnie and Rick both resigned, so I am sure it is not a bullshit story there is something wrong at Dallas.

Yup, that would be exciting as I think the winner on that one will eventually become the NBA champion as they are the only team that has not been affected so badly with injury.

Not sure about that. There are a couple of good teams in the West as well. Clippers/Jazz or the Suns. Plus the risks of getting injured in the Finals series.
The Phoenix Suns had a pretty good run in the Playoffs and can potentially beat the Nets or Milwaukee in a 7 game series. I hope CP3 will be back soon in the WCF. I mean the team's on fire and looking to make a statement this post season.

That's the best achievement of CP3 so far, and they will be back in the WCF as they are already waiting for the result fo the Clippers vs Jazz series.
It will be CP3's first Finals game if they will beat the winner the clippers/jazz, but still it's too long, we can never assume it will happen easily.

However, If the Nets maintains their line up with Kyrie, Harden, and Durant without any injuries in the Finals will always have the higher percentage against any other teams that remained in the Playoffs.

Like they always do, they are the favorites to win from the start the big 3 was form, so them playing together and available in the playoffs, that should be a team that is hard to beat. However, they need to beat the Bucks first.

Durant over 30+ that's a sure thing.
Harden over 30+ points, hopefully.

Durant might drop 30+ points but I doubt Harden can.

This is the last game of the series, they need to give the ball to their best player, and at this stage, it's Kevin Durant who is their best play.

If we still remember what happened in game 5, the ball was given to Durant most of the time and let him make plays to score or find an open man, and that was very effective as they were able to come back and win that game.
