I just wanna briefly echo what a few other here have said. I feel so bad for Chris Paul. I've always loved him as a player. He's smart, tough, plays the right way, he's a great leader. I wanted so badly for him to get a championship, I was even willing to root for the Rockets, despite the fact that I dislike Harden greatly. So brutal for CP3 to go down when it really looked like they had the Warriors on the ropes.

I don't even care about the finals really, the team out of the east was gonna get smoked either way facing a healthy Warriors or Rockets team, but the way these WCFs ended….just leaves a bad taste.

Well if the Rockets would have won yesterday the Cavs would have had a very good chance of beating them since Chis Paul would have probably missed most of the finals since the hamstring injury he suffered takes 3 to 4 four weeks to heal. 

No I get that, that's why I said "facing a healthy Warriors or Rockets." Obviously the Rockets getting there without the use of CP3 would have changed the math, and made it more competitive, but I was just talking about like prior to events unfolding, nobody would have given the Cavs a shot vs either of these teams. The Rockets probably could still beat the Cavs without CP3, but it would have been a lot more interesting.
