With the playoffs coming up you gotta figure d-will/nash/paul are going to face each other in a series, so i was curious to find how they do head 2 head. By using Basketball-Reference game logs I was able to determine how today's elite PG's have done against each other head to head


Chris Paul
vs.
Steve Nash

10 games played - Hornets:5 wins, Suns:5 wins

Paul: 21.7 PPG - made 83 / 183 attempts(45.4 FG%), 8.1 APG / 2.1 TPG = 3.85 A/T
Nash: 17 PPG - made 63/137 attempts(45.9 FG%), 9.8 APG / 4.3 TPG= 2.27 A/T

your thoughts?

My thoughts? We get rocked by the Jazz, except for that last game. We still have them one more time at home I believe, I'd like to see how we do then, but as of now I think the Jazz are the team I want the least in the first round.

I don't know that last year's games really matter (and some of this year's for that matter), since the makeup of the teams has changed fairly dramatically, either due to good health or roster moves.

My thoughts? I am excited for the playoffs to start lol

I'd love to see any of those matchups in the playoffs.

Field goal percentages and scoring averages suggest that Dwill scores on Paul fairly easily (17.8 PPG, 57.2 FG%), but Paul has difficulty scoring on Dwill (14.9 PPG, 37.3 FG%). I've definitely noticed this whenever I've seen the two play each other. And no, I'm not a Jazz fan; I actually do really like Chris Paul, and think he's the better PG overall, but in head-to-head matchups, Dwill seems to have the upper hand.
