If chris paul is the best point guard in the nba, he has to make the WCF..

this year. He has a legitimate supporting cast now. No excuses

[alexander_37]

What? Why, if he plays the best he is the best regardless of team success.

[b@llhog24]

So Mario Chalmers was a top 2 pg last season then?

[Cano4prez]

Logic.

[rubx3]

Rondo, rose, deron williams have made it that far at least in their careers

[Avenged24]

There are no excuses for his team. They are crazy stacked.

Funny how in an offseason in which LA added Nash+Dwight to a team that finished ahead of us last year anyways, we are suppose to already be better than them and the upstart Conference champs.

We have a chance it seems, and we definitely have the talent, so yea no excuses from a TEAM standpoint, but there are no guarantees in this game. And if we were to lose to either LAL/OKC then I would be fine with it, but if we lose to the Grizz (even though they look scary right now) or the Spurs then we havent improved at all. The blame wont fall on CP3 unless it deserves to.

Yup. Big difference. CP3 can still be the best PG in the NBA, but if his teammates don't lend him a hand when it's needed then LAC won't be doing anything of major significance, and that goes for every team in the league.

In the backcourt, this should help keep CP3 fresh and theoretically allow our team to withstand his absence but in the playoffs hes going to get heavy minutes and that depth becomes less of an asset.

We still have Caron mucking up the SF position, Willie Green playing 18MPG. Hopefully Hill+Billups can fix that up. But then you look at our bigs, Odom, Turiaf and Hollins are below average and thats putting it nicely. We will rely on Blake/DJ alot more this year, I hope the hard work they put in pays off.

[baller101200]

To think that Billups and Hill haven't even joined the lineup is scary.

[Oefarmy2005]

[bucketss]

Do they give out trophies for wcf appearances.

[Jarvo]

Rondooooooooooooooooooo >

But I still don't see the Clippers beating Lakers, OKC or Spurs when it really matters.

Not sure Rondo's better at any aspect of basketball than Cp3, let alone as a whole.

[RonE Coleman]

Agreed... Melo gets killed every year for not doing much in the playoffs while CP3, a player who everyone thinks is better than Melo, gets a pass.
