Chris Paul's 2014-15 season was the healthiest of his career due to the fact he managed to play all 48 games, a hard feat to accomplish for many starting players that play big minutes. Unfortunately, the hamstring injury the Paul suffered in Game 7 against the Spurs has rained on the Lob City parade somewhat since it's not known as of yet whether he will be available for Houston. Paul has been the Clips MVP this season so the team will need him desperately if they are to with stand Houston 3pt blazing attack.
Even if Chris Paul does have to sit out for Game 1 Doc Rivers remains thankful that he has other guard to use which may not have been the case if he went through at the trade deadline and signed another big man.
"Someone is going to have to step up" said Clippers head coach Doc Rivers. "I was thinking it's funny how coaches think with three minutes left, I'm thinking, 'OK, if we win this game, thank God I signed Lester Hudson because now you have two guards left.' We almost went big, and then we would literally have no other guards left. That was the first thing I thought.
Paul has simply been a warrior for the Clips this season and hopefully he will be good to go for round 2 of the playoffs so he can continue the playoff noise he's been making.
