“I saw he was trying to kick my brother out. It’s over, it’s over, ”said Chris Paul, who celebrated his 33rd birthday with a performance of 27 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists as the Rockets got one game away from his first appearance in the Finals of the conference. “There may not have been a lot of playoff games that I’ve played, but there have been all of them. It’s finish. Nuh-uh, don’t eliminate it. ‘

Williams also whistled Chris Paul for a technical foul with 20.8 seconds left, which the Paul brothers laughed off after the game. Chris Paul told ESPN the technical foul was called because he briefly complained about an offensive foul that had been called on him two possessions earlier. According to Paul, he only said two words to Williams: ‘It’s awful.’

LEBRON JAMES CHRIS PAUL

Chris had lost two games all season because of his fight with Lakers guard Rajon Rondo, but Paul might as well have lost something more personal: his friendship with LeBron James. James told reporters when asked if his relationship with Paul helped ease tensions during the fight. James said: ‘We are no longer friends’

In all truth, James’ words were obviously said in jest, and he separates Paul from Rondo after the two punches. Paul and James have a relationship that dates back many years and most gained attention after photos surfaced of them sharing a banana boat ride with Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union while on vacation.

CHRIS PAUL INJURY

According to Rockets head coach Mike D’Antoni, Chris Paul could return to the roster next week after suffering a hamstring injury last month. Paul has been injured since suffering the illness against the Miami Heat on Dec. 20.

It was initially stated that he would be reassessed a few weeks after the injury. On reassessment it turned out that Paul’s injury was a bit worse than expected meaning that by the time he returns it will be over a month since he last played in a game.

Prior to his injury, the 33-year-old veteran averaged 15.6 points and 8.0 assists per game. Luckily for the Rockets, they played better without Paul, but that’s only because reigning MVP James Harden took over completely. He scored at least 30 points in 18 straight games and went on a five-game streak with at least 40 points.

Not only did Harden re-establish himself as the MVP favorite, but the Rockets went 9-4 with Paul out of the lineup. After spending much of the start of the season in 14th place in the Western Conference, Houston now has the sixth-best record in the West.

However, the team now find themselves without center Clint Capela for the next 4-6 weeks while he deals with a torn ligament in his right thumb. If the Rockets have played well in Paul’s absence, Harden obviously can’t sustain that type of production for the duration of the regular season. They’ll be hoping Paul returns as soon as possible as they continue to push for one of the Western Conference playoff seeds.

CHRIS PAUL KNEE INJURY

He also suffered a knee injury in Tuesday’s win over the Golden State Warriors. According to Sports Illustrated’s Ben Golliver, Rockets head coach Mike D’Antoni said Paul didn’t play at a critical time ‘because a knee injury caused him to play’ on one leg. ‘and ‘hang out’.’

Paul isn’t getting the kind of attention he deserves as one of the league’s most valuable contributors at both ends of the court. It’s probably because he’s always been good for so long. He ranked third among point guards in player efficiency with the Los Angeles Clippers last season before his trade from the Rockets.

He missed a series of games last year with a hamstring injury and also struggled with some thumb issues in his final season with the Clips. While that’s 21 games on the sidelines, he’s only missed eight games combined over the past two years.

CONTRACT CHRIS PAUL

Chris Paul and owner of Tilman Fertitta: Houston was pushed close to the fiscal limit last summer when it re-signed Paul to a four-year, $160 million max deal and Capela to a relative one-year bargain deal $80 million+ worth of incentives over five years.
