First two games against SA:

3-13 6 points 10 assist 5 turnovers
4-9 10 points 5 assist 8 turnovers

32% 8 PPG 7.5 APG 6.5 TPG
13/6 with 5 turnovers a game while shooting 39% in his last 5 if you go back to the Memphis series

From a guy that some people are claiming is the best PG since Magic Johnson and bitching that he wasn't on the all NBA 1st team. Could you imagine this site or the media if Kobe or Lebron had two games like that? Why does CP3 get a pass?

Everyone gets a pass, but LeBron. Because he's usually passing it off.

Didn't he suffer a hip flexior or some other really painful injury in the last round?

Because a bunch of Hornets fans on here still think he's going to come back.

agree

I honestly don't think CP3 gets enough credit for the Clippers team this year.

Without researching PER and other such stats, I don't think that this clips team is head and shoulders better than last years Hornets team pre David West ACL tear.

Because LeBum is a doucher who made his "decision" to join the Heat and people, including myself, are enjoying his demise.

CPIII has never done anything to piss anyone off. I rooted for him at Wake Forest and even some with the Hornets and I'm not even a Hornets fan.

The Heat were supposed to be America's team.....the Clippers were nothing until they got CP, so simply making the playoffs was an imporvement.

Because he's playing one of the best teams in the league with a great defensive minded headcoach

Yes Poppovich has done a great job of game planing to stop CP3

Griffin > West
Foye, Butler, Jordan = Marco, Ariza, Emeka

The Clippers really win it with their bench. They have Mo Williams, KMart, and Nick Young on their bench. Even Bledsoe is stepping it up with more PT. Losing Billups was huge, but this team has a ton of talent.

Because for an elite player he is small.

Yea, he's been really bad.

Wait I must have missed that. He really didn't make 1st Team All NBA???

2 shitty games or not, that is a travesty of epic proportions.

No one saw the game. I know I didn't. I hate being old and responsible and can't stay up as late as I want LOL.

If you're talking about getting by Memphis, I agree. But throughout the season those guys have been average to poor. That said, they are still better than the Hornets bench when Paul was there.

Paul has played like crap the last few games. Injury, fatigue, game plan, etc doesn't matter. He's still playing and has been poor. Even with a somewhat better roster, Paul still has to play out of his mind for this team to have a chance against an elite team in a 7 game series.

He may have a chance for a better roster in LA, but right now his situation is about the same as it was last year.

He is a good player not the kind that can carry a team. Never understood all the hype, Parker is taking him to school again this year.
