Cam Johnson said the incident with Chris Paul yesterday was frustrating. There was another situation that happened to Cam’s girlfriend in Milwaukee in the Finals last year, where she got hit in the back of the head and beer was spilled on her.
“It’s just wrong on so many levels” – 3:44 PM

Given these reports about what happened with Chris Paul’s mom, it’s perfectly understandable he wanted nothing to do with that postgame presser. Honestly, it’s commendable he walked away without going off on an ugly situation, which he was well within his rights to do – 8:13 PM

A source familiar with Chris Paul’s tweet after Game 4 told ESPN that Paul’s mother had hands put on her by Dallas fans and Paul’s wife was also pushed. To make matters worse, Paul’s kids witnessed it. “They felt very unsafe,” the source said. – 7:56 PM

Chris Paul has manipulated more calls in his favor than any player over the last 20 years.
Were a few questionable? No doubt.
But he’s absolutely the last person who can gripe about these.
He knows EXACTLY how this goes.
This time he’s just on the wrong side for once. – 5:55 PM

Not a lot of sympathy for CP. The dribble in front of the guy is a cheap move, and the feel some contact and fall down going for a loose ball is also one he uses to great effect all the time. And he did grab Brunson’s arm and then pull back, not a smart play with 5 fouls. – 5:52 PM

Phoenix Suns coach Monty Williams said the NBA should consider having a special section in the stands reserved for the families of visiting teams in the wake of Chris Paul’s family being harassed during Sunday’s playoff game in Dallas. -via Bloomberg / May 9, 2022
“It’s a hard one, because it’s happening more and more,” Williams said Monday at Suns practice. “The situations are getting to a place now where I really feel like families, who are there to support their loved ones, need to be protected a bit more. Whether or not we have to give these people a section, a suite, something has to be done. Because we can’t wait for it to get to a level or two higher, before we do what we need to do. Yesterday was unnecessary.” -via Bloomberg / May 9, 2022
