    Rumor has it that Curry showed up early before game 6 and during shoot around Paul entered the Arena. Curry offered to share the court with him and stay on his side of the court. Paul refused and had Curry kicked out the arena. Shortly after Curry took our ass to town. Dont think its the smartest idea to light fuel under a former MVP before an elimination game..

    I heard CP3 tried to have Curry kicked off the court in the 4th quarter!

    Paul is nothing short of dead weight. Period.

    Having Steph watch CP3's shooting motion would have had a negative effect on Steph's shooting -- this was a idiot move.

    It was the day before the game. Chris Paul heard Curry wanted to shoot around in Toyota Center on Thursday night, so he decided to go up there himself and cut it short.

    I thought it was good gamesmanship. This is the playoffs, the object is to beat them. Have to give Curry credit for using it as motivation and taking care of business.

    And now Chris Paul knows, if you're going to pull that stuff, you better back it up.

    If it happened, it's a dumb move by Paul to give your opponents additional motivation. I'm sure he regrets it now. You expect better from a vet.

    Correct move. The more correct move would be to ban opposing players from having the court in the first place.

    It's not uncommon in the league as a whole for players to request time pre-game to shoot around.

    Yes, that came from something. But could have been something Paul said during the game as well.

    Drama Queen like his wife.

    Maybe he was too injured in G4 to get pissed off?
