Chris Paul...easily.

if I have to hear about how he never beats Deron Williams....im pretty sure his competitive ass wanted to get this one tonight.

very clutch shot as well.

I was thinking for the longest that I would go with DJ if we pulled it out. He was active on both ends and had the best game out of any big on the court tonight. He secured key rebounds and scored some unlikely hoops (i.e. that they would have been tough for most players). He actually played 35 minutes and was necessary for each and every one of them. Vinny was asked in the postgame presser about DJ playing more tonight than usual and did he think it was something that DJ could do on a more consistent basis. Vinny replied that Lopez's size allowed them to play DJ more than against other teams that go small.

I went with Paul though. He got one over on the biggest individual rival of his career and put the team on his back in the 4th. We need him to do that more often. With Blake getting punked tonight, Chris took it upon himself to secure us this win before we go on a 4 game road trip. With Denver and Memphis winning tonight, it was an absolute must win. This is our best victory in quite some time.

Willie continues to impress though.

CP3 was the star, Willie Green has proved himself to be the starting SG. I like Chauncey , but he is almost like the overcooked ends of a Prime Rib that has been sitting too long. I still think Chauncey was worth having on the bench and giving advice to the kids while playing about 12 minutes per game, not too much more.

I was hating on Willie early on, but I actually like him out there with the starters in the limited minutes that he usually gets. He's started 51 games and knows his role. Chauncey is trying to do what Chauncey does after sitting out for about a year. Had he started the season healthy and in with the starters, perhaps his affect on the starting line-up would be closer to what it was last season. Right now, it's just not the best fit. Hopefully things get better with him over the next few weeks, but it's hard with him missing time every few games.
