OT Chris Paul

aussienet · Post #1 » by **aussienet** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 3:48 am

Since no-one is putting up any decent threads, I thought I would put a discussion topic of Chris Paul so we can get to talking about Hoops again.

This guy's play has been unbelievable of late. Whic leads me to my question's. Any of you guy's think he is MVP? Can NOH go deep? Is it possible to win the MVP & MIP (most improved player) In the same year.

Thoughts?

Even tho the nets are my number 1,2,3 and 4th team I'm startin to find a soft spot for the Hornets.

I will watch JKIDD in Dallas......have stated before I don't think he has put them over the hump....but NOH small market town (like us) I like goin for the underdog.....I mean team support not overall talent.

Yeah yeah I know its a net forum but we are idle at the moment and we seemed to have tired our selves out with all these Frank bashing, Tanking and trade threads..... besides it's too early for draft talk and who knows wich net team will show up these last dozen or so games.

Chris Paul = Best PG in the league right now...

The guys a stud. Even at 6'0 he can get to the hoop at will and score with pretty damn good FG%. The thing I love most about paul is how he rarely turns the ball over even while dishing out 13-18 dimes every other day.

EASILY top 5 talent in the league...

With all Kobe&Lebron battle for MVP, I hope CP3 wins it. He is incredible.

I think Paul is the best PG in the league, and is also one of the most fiercest competitors and a true leader. The Atlanta Hawks are easily one of the dumbest franchises in the league for passing him up.

Portland also must regret trading their 3rd pick and picking up Martell Webster with the 6th they got in return ...

hes the mvp for my fantasy team in my money league.. thats good enough for me.. and it is amazing how little he turns the ball over w/the way he dominates the ball ... also i read that the reason milwaukee drafted bogut over paul was becuase they already had tj ford, then they traded him to toronto for charlie v a short while later

Know some guy who played with Paul in HS. said he was everywhere at the same time, but wasn't that effective because he was like 5'4" until late in high school.

I don't get to watch him much but his numbers are sick.

Haven't really gotten to see him at his best. Unfortunately the only recent time I've seen him was last weekend on national TV against the Pistons, and Paul didn't play too well, he was playing hurt and a game time decision.

I can't say if he's better than Nash. Nash is still a superstar game changer.

Does goes to show what a huge difference an elite PG, with the right players and coach will make.

My PG rankings:
1) Nash
2) Paul
3) DWilliams
4) BDavis
5) Kidd

nah, Paul is better than Nash, Nash has shaq, g hill, amare=best pf in the game, barbosa, and Raja Bell

Paul aside from West, no scoring threat, Chandler more defense, Peja, always hurt, plus they have better record

wow a couple years ago it was Allen Iverson...

Crazy how lopsided PG distribution is. All the great PGs are out west, like all the great PFs are out west, until KG came east.

Who's the best east PG? Billups and then ... Arenas. After Arenas? :rolleyes:

Hopefully our Harris will join this conversation next season.

You don't honestly believe that do you??

I guess you forgot about that guy up in San Antonio or that other guy in Boston.

Not defending anyone Jeff but........ If he mean't POWER forward then i gotta say yes. Best Forwards? Then Timmy D and KG hands down.

Good to see some lively Hoops debates guy's keep it up

I know what you mean and i respect it, but Tim Duncan lately hasnt been playin well, Dirk lets not forget about his playoff performances, plus stoudemire is younger.......

Serpo · Post #17 » by **Serpo** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 4:05 am

Stoudemire is a terrible defender , he may be a great offensive player but thats it . He's like Boozer on defense + some blocks .

MrDollarBills · Post #18 » by **MrDollarBills** » Fri Mar 21, 2008 2:57 pm

Stoudemire is one of the worst defenders at the PF position in the LEAGUE. Great offensively but aside from blocking a shot i've seen the dude get torched on D

Paul is damn good.

He can play the running game but he's also effective in the halfcourt game. I haven't watched him enough to know if his defense is any good or if he's good at the little things (setting picks, leadership).

He's a babyface but dude has a lil' bit of a temper so I don't know how that will play out overtime.

On a Hornets sidenote, despite being an All-Star I think David West is one of the most underrated guys in the league right now.
