How concerned are we about this? A 2 out of 5? Is it smoke and mirrors? Why would Doc and Chris talk it up so much to reveal a weakness? My hope is it's smoke and mirrors. Or is this something that we'll just have to get used to every year?

im sure he tweaked it, prob not 100%, but also not something that would require him to miss games. its not a huge concern of mine right now.

I'm more concerned about Crawford. He apparently reinjured his calf again. He really hasn't been himself ever since the original injury. If he is hobbled any way, I think Doc should sit him in favor of the other available wings

I posted a couple of articles in the Game 3 thread. Paul will be sitting out of practice and just resting his hammy. One of the best things about the postseason is that you never have to go 2 nights in a row (barring shortened seasons). Having 2 days off in between games works out well for him. He's able to leave it all out on the floor and will have an extra day to use toward recovery.

This should help build the urgency yo end this series as soon as possible. Now we need Doc to get the bench more involved to take time off Pauls legs.

Good point, the quicker the series is over, the more rest and recovery their is assuming the Grizzlies and Thunder go to 7 games. So we'll see what happens.

It definitely has affected Paul's game. He's not as fast as before. I really do feel bad for the guy. When you're 5 ft 11 and have a bad hamstring, it definitely affects your shot, look at Parker at the end of the Heat series last year.

Problem is he's going to have to play his all from here on out

So is everyone else. From both teams. What's your point?
