To beat Warriors, Rockets need Chris Paul to step-up his game

Chris Paul being hurt might explain it. The lack of fire. The missing intensity. The sudden disappearance of one of the NBA's greatest modern guards, just as he finally reached the conference-finals stage for which he had waited his whole career. Paul insisted the day after a 126-85 loss to the Warriors that he isn't hurt. "I'm cool," Paul said Monday before practice at USF. "Just trying to figure out what we can do to make adjustments to win Game 4." One of the Rockets' clearest adjustments starts with CP3. Superstars have off nights. The Rockets' combined team performance in Game 3 was one of their worst of the season, with everyone from P.J.
