May 5 (The Sports Xchange) - Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul missed Game 1 of the playoff series against the Houston Rockets because of a hamstring injury, and it is unlikely he will play in Game 2 on Wednesday either. On Tuesday, Clippers coach Doc Rivers said there was about a 50-50 chance Paul would play in Game 2, but the team officially listed him as doubtful, according to the Los Angeles Times. - - The Memphis Grizzlies might have point guard Mike Conley back on the floor Tuesday night against the Golden State Warriors. Conley was upgraded from doubtful to questionable after missing the past three playoff games following surgery to repair broken bones in his face. - - LeBron James hinted at being more aggressive when the Cleveland Cavaliers face the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. James started slowly in the Cavs' Game 1 loss to the Bulls in Cleveland on Monday. He took just two shots from the floor in the first 10 minutes and Chicago opened a 14-point lead. "I've always had to feel out things, but last night it was a little bit too much feel out," James said. "I think I may have to change my mindset a little bit obviously with (Kevin Love) being out."
