Rajon Rondo vs. Chris Paul

[tpols]

lol i hope you're are not talking about Rondo.

u think Chris Paul lead the league in steals for like 4 seasons already because he was lucky?

nobody can read passing lanes like chris paul.

Rondo led the league in steals in 2010.. and he's led the league in steals in the playoffs 2 out of the last 4 years. Try again.

woah let me guess? you guys don't think rondo is top 3 pg because his team is losing. yet in 11 nash was better than him?

oh and wasn't chris paul struggling last year. and what seed did the hornets get last year?
yep and WE have double standards.
in 2011
Rose

I have Rondo over CP3 in 2010 because dude was hurt all year and Rose didnt start killing it until later of the season. To me it was Deron, Nash, and Rondo in that order.

2011 was the year when Rose powered up and Paul came back healthy. Paul wasnt to is 2008 self but he was still was able to carry his team to the playoffs in the west with a rookie coach and a weak supporting cast. We can't forget dude performance in that Lakers series.

leading the league in steals for 4 years > 1 year

and when Paul topped the steals per game chart, he averaged 2.7, 2.8, 2.4, 2.8 while Rondo


Rondo led it while averaging 2.3 in 2010


I do think Rondo is a better defender but Paul is better when it comes to reading passing lanes. thats a fact.

Steve Nash could make better basketball decisions with a blindfold on. Russel Westbrook doesn't even know what Point Guard means lol sorry.

Pre Injury CP3 >> Current Rajon Rondo

Current Rajon Rondo >> Post Injury Cp3/Current CP3

What fulckin injury? CP3 is fine. He has been fine. He's not as good as those 2 seasons because he plays against far better point guards. The PG competition has picked up and CP3 has been left behind. People have been making excuses for CP3 for too long, first his teammates, then his so called injuries and now they say he isn't in good shape. Stop with this shlt. people need to admit that the dude is good, but not as good as hes made out to be. He was only good back in 08-09 because he had scrubs guarding him, now he goes against guys like Westrbook, Rose, Rondo, DWill etc. and he can't perform on the same level. And he hasn't improved any parts of his game since 08-09, he has the same predictable game. Seems like he lays around on his sofa all summer. He is a very smart player though with his flopping and constant complaining to the refs, he makes things go his way.

His conditioning should be better but you're going too far. Paul is still a match for the elite PGs in the league and still one of them. Neither Clipper fans nor Celtic fans should be acting like their guy is on a different level right now.

Shut the fuclk up you bandwagon c0clk sucker. Do you remember what Westbrook did to the lakers the year before in the playoffs? Do you remember what Rondo did to the lakers in the finals that year? Do you remember what DWill did to the lakers in the playoffs the year earlier? Do you remember what Aaron brooks did to the lakers in the playoffs?

You notice a trend here? Or are you just a dumb bandwagon jumper like you make yourself out to be? Every PG plays like Jordan against the Lakers because Lakers suck at guarding PGs. Old man Fisher can't do anything. The lakers gave the most Pts per game to the PG position than any other team.

I'm saying what I have seen. PG competiton went up and CP3s effectiveness went down.

[Real Men Wear Green]

I'm saying what I have seen. PG competiton went up and CP3s effectiveness went down.

And yet his statistics this season are extremely similar to Rondo's. Their differences are .5 ppg, 1.4 apg, .7 steals, .03% from the field. Their large differences are Rondo's rebounding (Paul used to rebound at a similar rate but he's got Griffin and DJ up front), Paul is turning it over 1.6 less times per game, and Paul is a lot better from the FT line. And that's just Paul vs. Rondo. I don't see this drop in Paul's effectiveness, he's just shooting a little less. And on a team like the Clippers shouldn't he prioritize getting the scorers going? Don't disrespect what the man is doing, he's a great player. Fans of one player need to realize that it doesn't denigrate the accomplishments of their guy when someone else is praised.

Paul to me is the better scorer, shooter (by a large margin), better vision, better handles and better passing skills. Rondo is a better rebounder and defender.

I'll take Paul any day of the week, I don't need an explanation as to why. Paul literally destroyed the Lakers by himself last year while Rondo was a liability for Boston when they played LA in 10'. Yeah, I heard he improved his shot but is it really that big of an improvement that I should take into consideration?

Plus, Paul seems to passive so far this season when he came out gunning from jump street; he was clearly the best player in a Clipper uniform and the best point guard in the game (Rose is the only point that is arguably better to me).

[Yung D-Will]

Who knows. One things for sure though. Rondo > Westbrook now that he has a semi consistant jumper all he needs to develop is his freethrows.

Rondo is leading the league in assists with far inferior finishers at the basket. Also when it comes to elite PGs who can do anything handling the ball that someone else can't? Rondo used to do Pistol Pete fake behind the back pass every other game.

Eh, Paul led the league in assists playing in New Orleans.
Paul is having a slow start, he seems a overweight this season and hasn't really found his place yet.

I've watched enough Boston games and seen enough of Paul playing the game to know how has the greater impact.

If Boston had Paul from 08' they'd right now be four time defending champs, I have no doubt about that. He is simply a more well-rounded point guard. I have only seen one Boston game so far this season, so my judgement might not be as reasonable. But it's only been 11 games, and I am a reasonable enough to listen to anyone who thinks Rondo so far this season has been the better point guard and has improved his weakness (shooting) enough for this comparison to be debatable though.

Also, I never said Rondo doesn't have great court-vision or isn't a good ball-handler, I said he isn't better then Chris Paul at those aspects.
