Ah another episode of the "Chris Paul 2nd Half Disappearance Show"

I have season tickets and have watched Chris Paul play almost every game since his rookie season. I have never seen him play this poorly in his entire career. He is passing up wide open shots and second guessing nearly every shot he attempts. The mismatch that he had against Blake Griffin two nights ago where he chose to dance around for 10 seconds, pass up 3 shot opportunities, and then pass the ball out with 2 seconds left on the shot clock causing a violation was by far the most embarrassing moment of his career in my opinion.

The worst part is that he has been nearly 100% irrelevant in almost every game this season during the 2nd half. Tonight was a game that he should have put his team on his back and carried the load, instead he took only 3 shot attempts in the 2nd half (0 for 3 shooting), while the best point guard in the world Deron Williams took a total of 18 shot attempts and finished with 26 points and 11 assist.

Truth be told I think Paul's career as a top player in the NBA is done. For anyone who has watched him play from day one can see that he simply just doesn't have it anymore. Something isn't right and I'm willing to bet that he is still playing hurt. However its an injury that will never go away. That surgery he opted to have will without a doubt shorten his career and has obviously taken away most of his explosiveness on offense.
