  • The good ole days.
In Bill Simmons' ESPN chat he was saying he thinks Paul's back has been affecting him.  Anyone think it's hurting him more than originally thought?

When i saw Paul miss a few free throws,and not taking it consistently strong to the rack,made me think,maybe Paul is not 100%,and the back is affecting him more than he's letting on.Usually,when the game is on the line,Paul would take it strong to the rack,for a higher % shot n 1.Not the case last night so much,it could be his back.I do not think Paul is rattled over the Holford stuff,he is to professional to allow that to take him out of his game.Paul has been through worst,in his career.Yep,that could be some of it(back).

No, not really.

He looked fine moving around the court. He just isn't playing too well.
