Is Chris Paul just not as good as we think?

Overly ball dominant and not a great scorer, Isaiah Thomas plays off the ball a lot more than CP3 does. He'd be a better fit with Blake Griffin than CP3 is, basically you need a gang of roleplayers around Paul.

He has all the skills to be a great scorer but doesn't want to be. I think he and his teammates would benefit from him shooting more and facilitating less.

So when chris paul was with new Orleans he wasn't a great scorer he isn't a 20pt and 10 assist guy for his CAREER on damn near %50 shooting. You put cp3 on the Celtics and they get to the conference finals right now smh this shyt blasphemous as hell. He playing with redikk/Crawford/paul pierce/Austin rivers/felton/ba mutae/ annnnnnndddd a hurt blake(tony room) griffin and DJ

He'll go down as an all-time great by basketball junkies and probably a loser by casuals who dont pay attention to detail :manny:

Wish he'd leave the Clippers but it doesnt seem likely now.

He's good but the clips never put the talent that they needed most being a 2/3 that could create for themselves. Add to the fact the deandre never got a post game it ain't much he can do

Philly bouls, Trust the Process
Kawhi has pop
Isaiah is in the East
You can't compare. Clippers always have injury problems, and a garbage bench. If I remember correctly, when Chris Paul was on the court the Clippers played at the equivalence of a 77 win team, and were a sub 30 win team without him

By net rating, the Clippers had the 2nd best starting lineup in the NBA and the 25th best bench

if he got to the WCF, then yall would just say he hasnt even been to the finals. if he goes to the finals you say well he cant even win one. hes never been on a team good enough to win a title.

he shouldve gone to a CF sure, but that wouldnt mean anything in the big picture and yall would still bash him. :yeshrug:
