Because pretty much every metric stat available shows Chris Paul is better.

He averages more assists, less turnovers, is far better defensively, has better understanding of controlling pace and tempo, and pretty much turned the Clippers from a joke to a damn good franchise.

Curry is the better shooter and that's literally it.

This.

Wait, I missed this part...

Did this nikka really say that Chris Paul doesn't take games over in the 4th?

CP3? One of the most clutch PGs in the league? Probably the best ball handler in the league?

Have you even watched CP3 before in your life? Chris Paul understands that your PG being your primary scorer isn't very valuable but he is still a closer and he has no problem taking over in the fourth.

"Pretty much every metric stat available" ?


Except for the 5 Curry wins in the opening post?


By a wider margin than Paul wins the few categories he wins?



Motherfukkers don't even turn idiotic.... They turn DELLUSIONAL when faced with some shyt they don't want to see:bryan:





Curry is the better shooter, Scorer, and wild card. There is NO DOUBT he is the superior offensive player overall. Tell me the last time CP3 went off for 50.


Lets not forget CP3 has the superior supporting cast and collection of veteran players.....



Can you explain why the great CP3 got swept out of the Playoffs by the spurs, but curry won 2 games and very well could've won the series if not for blowing a 20++ point lead? Can you explain this without sounding like a COMPLETE stan?


In the Playoffs right now, give me Curry over CP3 ANY WAY of the week, and its not close... You're never out of a game with him with his 3point shooting ability... He can single handedly bring you back from down 15, and his passing is not too far behind CP3.


Defense for a point guard don't mean shyt.... Because neither of them can guard westbrook... So what the fukk does it matter. CP3 gets scorched by Westbrook when they play from what I know, so what does it matter what he does against the other 31 point guards, when the only real threat to keeping him from a TITLE is Westbrook?


Maybe you're counting on WB being hurt?:russ:

You a stupid Fukk. Metric stats are things like A/T ratio, PER, and the like.

Let me put this into terms you can understand, CP3 finishes either better or the same as Curry from everywhere from 17 feet to right at the rim despite usually taking more attempts. Curry is only better at shooting the 3, statistically, than Chris Paul.

GSW matched up better than the Clippers did because their run and gun offense is better suited against the older core of the Spurs and CP3 was injured. Some teams match up better than others.

Again, CP3 has a far higher PER, is less efficient scorer but still comparable, a far better passer, far less turnover prone, and he has much lower usage rate so he takes less possessions to make things happen.

You the kind of dumb Fukk that'd take Allen Iverson over Magic because he can score though. Or take Kyrie Irving over a Prime Jason Kidd. There's more to the game than scoring and CP3 is still an elite scorer.

Curry shots better than Paul but Paul is better at everything else.

Better D, more assists, fewer turnovers, more steals, etc.

Paul > Curry

Point guard defense isn't that important. How many rings did the lakers win with derek fisher getting obliterated by them?

Look at the opposing PG's numbers against the lakers during the 08-10 playoffs

CP3 still got the edge cuz of the defense and less turnovers. Steph needs to try more on defense if he wants to top CP3 some day. People forget that CP3 is arguably the best defensive PG in the league he's just so good offensively that people forget how he can change a game by his defensive pressure on opposing points guards. CP3 can drop 20 and 10 and hold the other teams point guard to single digit points and under 5 assists. At the end of the day it's all about caring more on defense. CP3 isn't atheltic but that doesn't stop him from playing lock down defense every night.

Your not making sense breh we tryna compare Curry and CP3 and to say CP3's defense doesn't matter cuz some role player cat named Derek Fisher won ships on stacked teams while getting blown out on D doesn't make any sense it's irrelevant. Defense matters when comparing players and CP3's D gives him the slight edge over Curry. CP3 can literally shut down elite PG's while still dropping 20 and 10 Curry isn't there yet and is he's still a defensive liability.

Because all positions are not weighted the same defensively. Do you a think a PG's defense impacts the game the same way a Centers does? Hell no.

My point still stands PG's ran a train on fisher in the playoffs and the lakers dominated those series. Cp3 balled in 11' and they still lost in 6

You judge guards based on offense. It's the reason why magic is the goat despite being a below average defender

:comeon: And CP3 isn't the best floor general in the NBA while still averaging close to 20 points a game you make it sound like CP3 is offensively challenged or something breh. Fact remains CP3 is only averaging 4 less points while doing everything else better than Curry. You Put CP3 on the Warriors and they ain't no dam 8th seed. Better shooter doesn't always = better offensive player. If CP3 wanted to he could put up 30 ppg and jack up shots all game long but that's not his style.

The Clippers played better without CP3. The Warriors play terrible without Steph.
The Clippers beat a bunch of teams they should have beaten.


And, also, I'm surprised that Chris Paul's field goal percentage isn't at 50% and his three-point percentage is as low as it is. Whenever I watch him play it seems like he never misses jump shots at all.

And Curry's turnovers are :scusthov: He HAS to clear that shyt up, because that shyt has lost them games and they're gonna end up not making the playoffs because of late game turnovers by him and Iguodala in random games.
