Reporters are advised not to ask Chris Paul stupid questions at press conferences

Tweet

Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul achieved the goal of a sports reporter who asked him in a nutshell if Paul was optimistic that his team would return to play a seventh game in the first round of the NBA Playoffs or not. The reason Paul who is the nice guys in the league was that his Clippers lost a close game to the Utah Jazz at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening to give the Jazz a 3-2 lead in the best of seven series. Paul is optimistic that his Clippers will beat the Jazz on Friday evening in Salt Lake City to bring the series for a deciding game on Sunday in Los Angeles. I mean Paul was not going to say that the Clippers who are not going to have the services of forward Blake Griffin who has a toe injury that will keep him out of the remainder of the first round of the playoffs were going to give up their quest of beating the Jazz on Friday and end their basketball season on a sour note.
