People always come up with excuses for him not playing good since his great years of 08-09. They have blamed his teammates, injuries etc. This season, I knew he will get exposed because he isn't injured and he has good teammates. And you know what? They come up with new excuse. "He is not in shape yet, so let him get in shape" Do you guys ever stop with the excuses? Just admit CP3 isn't the same player from 08-09 because the level of PG competition has stepped up and he isnt good enough to keep up. He is a good player, but not as good as people make him out to be. He is a really good role player at best, but he isn't good enough to lead a team.

Already seen CP3 close out a game this year.

Through 3 games he's averaging 15 pts, 11 assists, and 3 steals? Seems pretty solid to me. Give this guy 2 months to get his teammates down and he's still Chris Paul. He's a top 3 PG in the league.

Dude I'm a Bulls fan who also happens to think like an adult (because I am one) when it comes to basketball...

It's not an excuse when you don't even have size coming off the bench...Basically, to be blunt, the Clippers are a team that only goes as far as their starters...And in the NBA, you won't go deep in the playoffs with that type of limited squad (you at least need two people to come off the bench to pick up the slack)...The Clippers are a work in progress....They lack a defensive...identity...But most of all they don't have any size off the bench...That's what killed them against the Bulls tonight....

And still, Chris Paul is an elite PG...But if I had a choice to pick my first PG to start my team I would pick D. Rose...See how that works? I can admit I like a player without hashing out some silly agenda...

Try it sometimes...U may like it...

IF you watched the game tonight at all, CP3 played well enough and it wasn't scoring or anything the Clippers did offensively that lost them the game.

It was the rebounding and fouls.

45 rebounds to 31...

34 fta to 20

cp3 handled the offense just fine, it was just that Drose got all the calls and the clippers couldn't get any rebounds.

But he's averaging more points and assists than DWill. 4.5 assist to TO ratio to DWill's 1.06. 2.7 steals to DWill's 1.3. DWill is shooting 35%.

Neither has been all that great in the few games so far this season.

Basketbawful on Deron:


Remember a while back when Deron said he was the best point guard in the league? Next thing you know, he was running Jerry Sloan out of Utah, getting traded to the Nyets, and now he's tossing up garbage for field goal attempts. On Tuesday, Williams went 3-for-11 against the Hawks, and last night he shot 2-for-12 against the Magic. He's shooting 28 percent from the field and averaging only 5.7 assists. His PER is 10.50.

Well, he wanted out of Sloan's rigid offensive system. And that's what he got. Congrats, D-Will.

Said Williams: "It is definitely frustrating. I am not playing well right now and the team is not playing too well right now. It is not time to panic. We are going to have a little bit of struggles just because everybody is learning."

Uh, shouldn't you have learned to shoot by now, Deron?

CP3 is performing poorly...what?

He's only averaging 15/11/3...with 3 steals and 2 turnovers. He needs to rebound a bit better, but his defense has been very good as well.

He's shooting 47/50/73....55% TS

How is that playing poorly?

Last night he was very good. He just happened to get outplayed by one of the best players in the game last night (who happened to play about as well as he's ever played given the competition)....

Paul played Rose to a near draw going into the 4th...then Rose just took his game to another level. This should be about Rose stepping up his game and rising to the challenge...that was ****ing impressive out of Rose.

I sometimes feel like I'm watching a different game than most of you...I think Paul has played very well so far this year given the circumstances.

Rose just took it to another level in the 4th.....that was special.

The only PG that's really stepped up since then is Rose. That doesn't account for the dramatic decline in stats and athleticism in cp3. Cp3 isn't the same cause of permanent injuries. He will never be the same. With that said, IMO 08-09 cp3 would probably be the best PG in the league today, and probably was the best PG we have seen since Magic retired.

That's what got me in last year's playoffs at the end of the series they had him off ball and some cat I-can't-remember-his-name running point and I'm like:

"Why isn't Chris Paul taking or assisting on every shot, the season is on the line."


After last night maybe his conditioning isn't what it should be.


Which is crazy because after having a bum knee you'd think he'd try to be somewhat stream-lined in build.

Come on dude. Same excuses as when he was with the hornets. Do you want him to have Durant, Melo, Kobe on his team? GTFO, the Clippers are stacked. No excuses for him anymore.

Yup, and people dont admit that. Some players have 2 great years, like TMAC, Vince Carter, Steve Francis etc. and other team defenses figure them out and adjust. The good players like Kobe, Wade etc. develop new aspects to their game to stay effective, but some players are just lazy and they never expand their game, which causes them to be less effective over time.

So? Kidd was a triple double king and arguably the best pg defender since Payton retired and his overall impact went way past his weakness shooting the ball.

Nash himself had 50/40/90 efficency and was unmatched by any pg shooting the ball ever.

And both of them were better passers than Paul was.


If you're talking about more complete than Nash and Kidd .. yea .. Better player? Nah

I said Paul would do better if he had more shooters, not that the Clippers have to go out and sign LeBron, Howard, Wade, and Durant. :oldlol:

It's not just about Paul. Having more shooters would really open up the floor for Griffin and to a lesser extent Jordan.

I thought CP3 was good at giving open looks to other players? He has Billups and Butler. Blake Griffens not becoming as effective because CP3 likes to bounce the ball around and go around in circles looking to pad his assist numbers. Blake Griffen would have done better with a PG that was an attacker. He is better playing a fast paced game, CP3 likes to wander around with the ball. DWill would have done a lot better.

Griffin doesn't know how to move off the ball. He's got to be one of the most overrated players in the league right now. He put up a hell of a game last night but I still think he could be way more effective.

Billups... he's a blackhole. If he played the role of spot up shooter he'd be a great guy to have, but he still thinks he's an all-star and has a tendency to jack up contested threes.

Butler sucks. Okay, he doesn't suck, but he's been overrated since forever. He's a solid isolation player and nothing else.

I still think Chris Paul is best PG in the NBA behind Rose.

No doubt CP3 is the most excused player on this site. No other players gets as many excuses as Paul does.

How is 15 points and 10 assists bad in three games bad?

15 ppg, 10 apg, 3apg, 2.7spg, in 3 games.. how is that bad???? CP3 is still a very good poing guard, he just got outplayed last night by Derrick Rose, which is a stronger, faster, and quicker athlete than him.

He perfer Deron Williams numbers so far this season.:lol

For the record, CP3 destroyed the same team Derrick Rose struggled against in the Warriors but he gets no praise for that.

I said Paul would do better if he had more shooters, not that the Clippers have to go out and sign LeBron, Howard, Wade, and Durant. :oldlol:

It's not just about Paul. Having more shooters would really open up the floor for Griffin and to a lesser extent Jordan.
Clippers offense will be fine with what they've got. Butler's a good catch and shoot guy. Defensively they are terrible right now, particularly when Jordan is on the bench. That's what happens when you have a bunch of guys who haven't played together with a frontline of Cook and Griffin, but they will definitely get better.

They can bash Paul all they want won't change the fact that he will be dominating in a couple months when they've had more games/practice together.

15 and 10 isn't bad, but people talk about Chris Paul like he a 25 10 player.

15, 11 and 2.5 steals is ELITE for a PG, not "isn't bad". Not to mention he's playing himself into shape and is adapting to new team/weapons. Once he meshes with the team I won't be surprised if he puts up 18 and 12. Coach has been pushing him to be way more aggressive and his scoring will rise.

Derrick Rose is avg 20 9 4. I guess he's the MJ on pg's.

Do people on these boards actually watch the games? CP3, by no means, is struggling right now. He still has the ability to take over and carry an offense.
