Who here would have guessed before the season that on June 22, Deandre Ayton would have the 9th highest odds of Finals MVP?

Clippers hardly daunted by 1-0 hole after prior series comebacks
LA is trailing for the third straight series. Given their comebacks to win the previous two, the Clippers are confident they can do it again.

Let's see how they feel after 2-0 and then 3-0.

If I were the Clips or a Clips fan, I'd feel like they were tempting fate and playing with fire. And they also had Kawhi for most of those games.

I don't know if we go up 2-0. I think tonight's game will be a very tough one.

None of them will be easy. We need to gut it out though. Can't expect another 40 point triple double by Book. Everybody needs to step up. Guard that three point line.

Maybe a non triple double 50 point game?

Sure. And only one rebound shy with 14 assists. :D

Ayton with 20 and 20 while we're at it.

What is this rumor (including on 98.7 FM) that Duane Rankin is reporting that Chris Paul has a fever/flu-like symptoms? I can't find any actual reporting of such by Rankin.

Never mind, I found it, the report was yesterday: https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/ ... 776026002/
Yahoo! Sports Chris Haynes reported Paul is quarantining in Los Angeles and isn't showing any symptoms after "testing positive for COVID-19."

However, sources have informed The Republic Paul has been experiencing a fever.
If true, this could change everything.

Not good news.

We just won 8 in a row. We won 8 in a row in last year's bubble without Paul. It’s not over until it’s over.

Just did a search and found nothing on a fever.

Yesterday

Report: Chris Paul Remaining Symptom-Free After Positive COVID-19 Test
https://www.si.com/nba/2021/06/21/chris ... rn-hopeful
Suns star Chris Paul has remained symptom-free after testing positive for COVID-19 last week, according to Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes.

As a result, Phoenix is encouraged by Paul's progress and is hopeful that he will clear NBA health and safety protocols at some point early in the Western Conference finals, per Yahoo Sports. Paul has been quarantining at his home in Los Angeles. He entered the league's protocols on June 16.


No sumptuous for 10 days is Sunday.

Yeah, Rankin is the only person reporting it as far as I know.

He's pretty well plugged in, so it's at least a little worrying.

Yeah. I thought everyone knew Cunningham is a native Bahamian surname.
