Okay, I'm gonna try and play a bit of devil's advocate here, he is a 38 year old with injury history on by turning himself into Mike puts the impact more on Chris's back instead of what wouldve been he's head, arms, or shoulder Lessing any impact that is coming, a d instead of diving purposely for his knees, dove for the ball, and braces for impact in case Mike dives or keeps running, while also putting himself In between Mike and the ball

All this to say I don't think Paul isnt a dirty player, or that this isn't intentional, but in this case I'm not sure this 38 year old injury prone Chris Paul is looking for such a high risk low reward play just to Injure Mike, if anything he was trying to make a play on the ball to make up for the fact he was going 0-3, but hey, maybe it was frustration from being 0-3 lol
