Were Suns getting strategy help from Chris Paul during Game 1?
Chris Paul couldnt be around the Phoenix Suns on Game 1 Sunday, but he may have found another way to communicate his points with the team. Pauls brother C.J. was courtside for Sundays game despite Pauls absence due to COVID protocols. After the game, Suns forward Jae Crowder suspected Paul was texting his brother with strategy, because C.J. had been yelling tips that sounded like they came from his absent teammate. Jae Crowder told me he suspects Chris Paul was texting his brother CJ during the game because CJ was yelling out strategy points from the sideline. Jae: I know that was CP. The Clippers got their own brother-assist from Markieff Morris, who was courtside/helping twin Marcus https://t.co/uLK48HDUTe  Rachel Nichols (@Rachel__Nichols) June 20, 2021  You have to think being unable to play in Game 1 was killing Paul. If that was him relaying some things to the team through his brother, its hard to blame him for wanting to be involved. Fortunately, the team had other ways of keeping him involved as well. Pauls status for Game 2 remains to be determined, with coach Monty Williams characterizing the star point guard as day-to-day.
