[The Mad Hatter]

I think a lot of people are curious, not negative.

Someone I know watched them play (on June 30 or July 1??) and gave me a report. He said GS tried to body up PM; Paul just put his forearm out and held GS off with no apparent effort. When one guy is leaning most of weight on another player's forearm and the second player doesn't move or expend any effort to keep the first player away, this is impresssive.

Paul could do that to just about anyone. I remember him doing it to POB when he was a freshman. POB was having trouble getting closer to the basket that the free throw line, picked up quick fouls and played all of 7 min or so IIRC.
