Still isn't anywhere near CP3's level.

There's just something about CP3 that has always bothered me when it matters most. He just tends to shell up when the team needs him to take over offensively. He's too unselfish for his own good. And that hurts the team.

I think both these guys play their role perfectly. I want my PG to defend, distribute, and pick his spots offensively. I realize we live in an era where small guards are often used as first options, but if I'm looking to win a title, I want my PG playing like CP3 and Conley.

I guess in their entire careers, Magic Johnson never got outplayed then? Isiah Thomas never did? Kevin Johnson never did? Jason Kidd never did? Gary Payton never did? Apparently, Chris Paul is the only great pg who sometimes gets outplayed by opposing pg's during an 82 game season.

He's dropped 30 on Paul twice in the last two weeks. He's still the best defensive PG in the league but there's obviously an issue here.

So I guess a 2 game sample size means a lot but CP3 being 15-10 against Conley while averaging 17.5/10/4 compared to 12.6/3/5 means nothing?

If we're talking about the current season that means nothing. He got 30 dropped on him twice, first game he still played exceptionally well. But a PG who's not known for a scoring prowess has had career nights on him twice. That's a problem.

Conley is averaging 20 ppg. He can score.

No one said he couldn't score idk where you read that, he's not a known scorer at the levels of other PGs in the league such as Westbrook, Harden, Lillard, Irving and even Walker or Lowry.

Thanks for admitting you didn't watch the majority of either game friend.

Watched both games, as I clearly admitted CP3 out played him in the first one. Quit crying bruh
