Paul vs Deron this year

[JR_SMITH_5]

In 31 less games this year, Paul was able to have an almost identical numerical season as Deron, at least in points and assists. Had Paul played 31 more games - matching Deron's 76 - I'm sure he could have averaged 23/24ppg and 11/12apg. Didn't mean to troll..just made an observation and wanted to share it with you guys. Good luck in the playoffs. We'll be watching from the couch.

didn't mean to troll but did anyway...

I don't think that his averages would have gone up much. What proof or support do you have to show that his averages would actually go up?

Do you understand what an average is?

[seejaydeja]

Isn't it more probable that his numbers would go down over a larger amount of games?

Exactly, Deron put up similar numbers for a longer period of time than Paul, which is more difficult.


You're sort of an idiot, gtfo.

Hahahahah. All the Paul fans have left is the "he averages a fraction of an assist better than Deron!!!" argument to go on. Williams dethroned Paul once again (like he did in his second year.) Its up to Paul to get it back now. Paul being injury prone will be the deciding factor in why Deron will end up having the better overall career.....

by the way, Deron is on his way to his 4th consecutive playoffs! How many playoff seasons does CP3 have?
