Players play hurt in the playoffs. I only get suspicious when they are like Griffin and claim to be hurt but spend the whole game sprinting and leaping like madmen, but limp for a few seconds after every missed shot.
Paul is probably a little off his game, but he has hit enough shots and played enough minutes that it's probably not as much of a factor as some make it out to be.
