Since the injury the Suns have been able to steal games 3 and 4 to get back and even the series 2-2. Paul continues to be one of the best facilitators in the game and will be huge when Pauls returns to help get Booker and Durant in more off-ball scenarios.
One thing that has been said though is the pace on the floor has been a lot faster on the floor in which TV personality Stephen A. Smith discussed this morning on First Take.
Stephen A. Smith says the Suns are playing better without Chris Paul and it’s a big reason why Phoenix tied the series at 2-2
“If he were playing, the pace would have been slower.”
