[QUOTE=ThaSwagg3r]Show me all the games where Chris Paul's defense has been exposed, thanks.[/QUOTE]
when he plays against bigger point guards like miller, d-will, and billups, the opposing team will call for post ups on him. if hes the best defensive point guard in the league, the opposing teams wouldnt be calling plays to isolate him down low.
[QUOTE=knickswin]I don't get why Derrick Rose gets called a good defender. I don't really see much out of him. He's not Steve Nash bad, but I don't know why he's considered any better than average. He has good individual defenders on his team and good defensive schemes from the coach.[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure i was the only one to say Derrick Rose

Ok, and how successful are they posting him up and scoring on him? Show me some evidence instead of spewing a bunch of b.s., thanks. Who cares if they call a bunch of isolations down in the low-post if they are unsuccessful at it? Id take that anytime.
haha
nice one.
do they even play defense in the NBA today. :roll:

While I agree with Rondo #1, that "post up" scenario happens 100x more on message boards than in real games against CP. CP isn't weak and his low center of gravity, quickness, and the fact they never call a foul on him aren't that inviting for post-up PG's, and even against Deron and Billups at their best it doesn't happen more than twice a game. In fact I've probably seen Kobe or Lebron post up on him more than either of those guys and they don't match up nearly as much so it's not exactly a go-to move for PG's.
His weakness against big guards is when they face up and have a good long range J, which is something Rondo is long enough to prevent.

but my point is, that if cp3 is the best defensive point guard he shouldnt be targeted at all. id rather have rondo who is more versatile and has no holes defensively as opposed to cp3 who isnt a great low post defender.
Jason Kidd easy. He handcuffed Lebron and does a great job on bigger guards.
He can't guard the quick point guards anymore w/o getting embaressed remember the No Dallas series CP3 torched him.
Point guard on point guard Rondo.
Holiday.
[QUOTE=NuggetsFan]Rondo. .[/QUOTE]
but yet Rose destroys dudes o so elite defense all the time.
Chris Paul
Jrue Holiday
Russy/Rondo
Kirk Hinrich, although he is the most versatile one of them.

Rose and Westbrook should not be mentioned at all. LOL @ anybody listing them. In no particular order, here are some of the best defensive point guards in the game.
Rondo
HOLIDAY
Lowry
Kidd
CP3
Hinrich
side note: I was shocked how good Rubio played defense 1 on 1 against the USA, in the Olympics. He literally stayed with Kobe with no help in 1 on 1 plays. I think he will be one of the top guys once he adjusts to the NBA game.
The hell anyone can mention CP3?
Because his steal ratio?
He's not better than Rose guarding player, got owned from left and right off the dribble.
Btw give me Kidd and Hinrich.
When the Pistons won their last championship, Chauncey Billups was considered to be one of the best PG
[QUOTE=Samurai Swoosh]LOL @ the people being mentioned in this thread.
The best defender is Kirk Hinrich.[/QUOTE]
