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

[xxplayerxx23]

But is there any PG that can be called better thenPaul? No thanks for the thread.

[sammyvine]

he needs to start delivering in the post season

he is considered an elite player, top 5 player so he needs to start winning mvps rings, like wade, lebron and even d rose

[nickdymez]

What's amazing is how much you worship Kobe. Like seriously, why do all of your posts somehow end up talking about Kobe?? Good God man, get a grip. This has the biggest man-crush I've ever seen and its getting borderline embarrassing.

Objective reasoning

D Rose when healthy.

I think Rondo is the best pure pg, but CP3 is the best overall PG hands-down.

Wade won MVP? He also took his team to the WCF and was runner up in the MVP voting to Kobe. Some people think Kobe stole that from him. After that NO tradded all their players and he was injured

D-Wade has won a finals MVP.

CP3 has never been to the WCF.

Frankly, though there are some talented players in LAC, I don't see them as favorite to make it to the conference finals. The Spurs have some young guys that are developing into better players, and their vets are playing great. LAL added Dwight and Nash, and now have a coach geared to run an offensive system that will maximize their talent (or so LAL would have us believe), OKC is just as good as they were last season (Martin is not as good an all-around talent as Harden, but he's shooting at a very high percentage so far this year), and Memphis has one of the best starting front courts in the league with: Gay, Z-Bo and Gasol (compared to what... Griffen and Jordan?).

CP3 is the best PG in the game, he does not have the best supporting cast.

So he deserves a pass?

I understand in NO, but the Clippers have the pieces. If he is truly as good as people on here make him out to be, then why shouldn't he get to the WCF at least?

I read some people saying he is the best PG since Magic and how he is better than Isiah and Gary Payton, so shouldn't we expect a lot from him if he is that good.

He is considered an elite player, top 5 player, so he should be able to make some noise come play offs. Lebron, Dwight, D-Rose, Nash etc.. have all made it to the CFinals at least, players he is/has been ranked alongside so why does he deserve a pass if they bounce out.

Excuse me, semis...

Nah, Rose when healthy is good, but Paul defends, Paul scores and plays defense. Rondo is very overrated on here, I have 5 Pgs ahead of him.

Wade went on one of the best postseason Runs ever, He dominated and won finals MVP. MVP is a popularty contest sometimes. Nash won it twice I think Kobe deserved the 2nd one. CP3 deserved it the year Kobe won it.

Wrong.

Why?

[Chronz]

Its funny how a thread was made about how Kobe would take a hit if he didnt win with his supporting cast. But the Clippers as a whole are just as deep if not deeper than the Lakers and the same people are giving CP3 a pass.. The hypocrisy is amazing around here.

Proof..... of any of this?

[KnicksorBust]

I mean, if the Clippers continue to play well, if everyone stays healthy, and it becomes clear that this is clearly a true contender for the WCF, then sure, it will be disappointing if they don't make it. It's early though. The team last year was NOT talented enough to make the Finals.

Also, speaking in absolutes in November is always silly. It's not black and white like this. What if Paul goes 30-10-8 on 70% shooting, and the team loses? What if Blake gets hurt? What if the Lakers and Thunder clearly become more talented all around teams?


I'd love to see him take his team to the next step, but I don't think it's this simple.

And if you take Rondo over Paul, you're missing some screws in your head...and this is coming from a guy who LOVES Rondo. Easily one of my 5 favorites players in the NBA (with LeBron, Jameer, Pierce and someone else). But his offensive deficiencies are crippling at times.

I actually this spot-on. It doesn't absolve Paul of any responsibility but merely contexualizes the relevant aspects that would deter Paul from leading his team to theorized success.
