Yes, reading between the lines is something most people with triple digit IQs are able to do. I know it seems like an incredible achievement to you when someone does it, but try not to be so flabbergasted every time.

I hope you've submitted a username change request to "CP-KG-AI". Because Chris Paul is leaving New Orleans the first chance he gets....just FYI.


But he'll be better than Deron Williams no matter where he goes, and you can find a new forum to go spend all your time on :rofl:

You think D-Will is itching to stay in Utah?

eh...he has never seemed concerned about the big market/super team BS that other stars get wrapped into. As long as Utah is winning, then I think he'll be fine...so far so good.

None of the big players are as worried about playing in New York as the media perpetrates. When CP3 signs or leaves the Hornets, Deron is next in line to be everyone's guy that wants to leave.

No I'd say they got it right. I thought it would be either Deron or Dirk. POM usually has a lot to do with statistics, mainly scoring statistics and Deron did indeed score more than Paul this November. Deron was at like 23 & 10 while Paul was at almost 16 &10. That streak the Jazz had going was nice too. And I think Deron's team has like what... 2 more wins? What is this, like Deron's second or third POM award over his career now? You should be so happy. Enjoy.

Does he have as many player of the month awards as all star game appearances? That's kinda a hilarious thing to be bragging about.

Damn you really love to stir up the drama don't you? There are people who are convinced that Paul is better, and 20 games isn't going to convince them either, especially since 8 games in he led his team to an undefeated record. It'll probably take till the middle of the season for people to be on board, and that's assuming he keeps it up.

Who really cares though, as long as we're winning, it's all that really matters. :-)

Aww come on, let him troll, he posts on the Hornets board more than he posts on the Jazz board, and he's on like his 3rd account.

It's just that between him and Bradford he's giving the Jazz fans a really bad reputation. I love to debate Williams and Paul too, but I'm over it, I'm gonna let Williams do the talking now. :-)

Yeah, they did, because they didn't give it to the Western Conference player who really deserved it: Dirk.

But yeah, I'd say Deron was more deserving of the award than Paul this month because Deron played further above his usual level than Paul did. His 23.4 PER is a career high for him, while Paul's league-leading 27.3 is only his third best career mark.

Deron Williams got the award for playing about as well this month and Paul played on one knee last season.

It could be worse, we don't have enough fans on RealGM to create true HOF worthy trolls. I'm forced to bridge the gap between knowledgeable poster and troll. I gotta do everything around here.

Now you are laying your Chris Paul homerism on the credibility of the All-Star game? Wow, you sir have no credibility left, and I refuse to waste my time acknowledging you further.

Thats your prerogative and I have every right to tote the greatness of my favorite player and that has nothing to do with "trolling" since I started the damn thread in the first place 8-).

I asked a simple question. Would you like to compare player of the month awards before you get banned again?

Mocking people who say that stats matter in an effort to agree with someone boasting about Ray's game(statistically I imagine) vs Paul is kind of counterintuitive.

Not saying I have any feelings about it one way or the other, but that post does not make sense with what I think you're going for.
