Lettuce Discuss Chris Paul

[Celtics4ever]

People have been making excuses for CP3 since his 2 great seasons. He has not been the same player ever since. He has like one good game out of evert 10 games and people start to think he's great, but every dog has it's day once a while, even guys like Beasely have one good game every once a while. He has no consistency. CP3 is a very good role player, and that's all he is. He hasn't been good since 2008 because he can't keep up with the new breed of PGs, they are just plain and simple better than him. Who was his competition in 2008-2009? Fisher? No wonder he had those great seasons, he was going against bums at the PG position every night. CP3 hasn't developed his game ever since, he seems like a lazy SOB, that's why he's fat. The Clippers training staff have even said CP3 is perfectly healthy to play. Every player plays with small injuries, look at guys like Kobe and Rose(Turf toe) etc., you don't see them complaining or coming up with excuses. Why do people let CP3 slide through? Are they gay for his baby face? I can't think of any other reason. There is no way this guy is a top 8-9 player in the league, he isn't even better than Melo. If Melo went 1-9 or 3-10 in a game, people would be complaining left and right, but if CP3 does that then it's all good because he is everyones gay lover boy. The just shows the high expectations people have for Melo and the low expectations people have of CP3, but they still consider CP3 a top 8-9 player. The guy is the most overrated player of our time. You give DWill/Nash a team like the Clippers, watch them go ham every night.

Not to mention the guy whines and flops at every play. And he is turning the whole Clippers team to be floppers like him, no wonder the Clippers are becoming the most hated team in the NBA.

Yes, he has. /endthread

You mean once every 10-15 games. Okay. Why do people call out guys like Melo, LeBron, Kobe, Rose, Durant, Howard when they play like that? Why not CP3? Is his face too baby cute for you to discriminate against?

[airchibundo507]

he's not the same player as he was prior to his knee surgery. if he brief flashes of his superstar days, but it's not consistent. if the clips want to win a 'ship, I'm thinking Griffin will carry most of the load. especially in future years.

[Thechosen1]

he must have ****ed your girl

Plenty of people call him out for it. You're also comparing high profile stars like Melo, LeBron, Kobe, Rose, Durant and Howard, players on highly regarded teams who play a great deal of nationally televised games, to Chris Paul, who was relegated to a struggling, NBA owned Hornets team with a shaky franchise future in New Orleans. It's not comparable. Hardly anyone expected anything out of Chris Paul when he was leading those New Orleans teams to mediocre regular season finishes and first round exits.

His criticisms will increase exponentially now that he's playing for a team in the spotlight and where the pressure and expectations continue to mount. It's his first season with the Clippers and he's more than met expectations thus far, aside from a few low scoring performances. Keep in mind the guy has an All Star caliber rotation of guards to help run the point in a pinch... this isn't like when the best backup option he had during his tenure in NOLA was Jarrett Jack.

I'm not entirely sure what you're expecting out of the guy 30 some-odd games into a lockout shortened season, recovering from missed time with an injury, with a brand new coach, system and an entirely new cast of role players.

Okay, let's just say his knees are holding him back (which I think is BS). Then why is he still considered a top 8-9? I didn't know top players are allowed to be inconsistent.

this dude obviously has a major bias... in another thread he ranked rondo, westbrook, and dwill over cp3 this season.... lol

Oh look everybody, it's [COLOR="Black"]Fa[/COLOR]ggot4Ever back with an original Chris Paul thread.

Averages on the season

CP3: 17.9 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 8.9 apg, 2.4 spg, 0.1 bpg on 51.1% FG, 45.8% 3PT
Rose: 23.6 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 8.2 apg, 0.9 spg, 0.7 bpg on 45.9% FG, 31.6% 3PT
Westbrook: 21.7 ppg, 4.7 rpg, 5.7 apg, 2.0 spg, 0.3 bpg on 45.7% FG, 29.4% 3PT
Rondo: 14.4 ppg, 5.1 rpg, 9.2 apg, 1.7 spg, 0.0 bpg on 51.0% FG, 30.0% 3PT
DWill: 20.2 ppg, 3.7 rpg, 8.8 apg, 1.1 spg, 0.4 bpg on 40.4% FG, 34.3% 3PT

He's putting up 8.9 assists, 2.4 steals, .511 from the field and .458 from beyond the arc. Needless to say, I don't agree with your lengthy rant.

cuz they are better.

[LoneyROY7]

Wait, so CP3 is averaging 18 ppg and 9 apg on 51 percent shooting, and yet he only has 1 good game out of every 10?
