Chris Paul Clearly in Decline

[Calispursfan11]

There is no question here. He is treading into mediocre territory. It will not improve and neither will the Clippers next year.

He's been propped up by Media since he landed in Los Angeles.

He's a phony baloney, a Casper, a weak sister, a loser. He'll make you sorry every time.

[Leon Black]

He sucks....... fits perfectly with that band of losers in LA

[Katherine Robinson]

At 28 and a <6ft, it goes without saying that he will be in decline. This is disregarding his knee injury.

[KaiRMD1]

I think the ol' sport has improved in one piece of category that is not listing, flopping. He has definitely taken his ability to flop on the court to a level not seen since the days of Vlade Divac

[StrengthAndHonor]

He obviously isn't the same after his injury, lost a few notches but still the best PG and perhaps most clutch player in the game.

son like I've said many times before ....

we had him in his prime. he is one wrong step away from another knee surgery.

you will NEVER see him average 20+ and 10+ per game again like he did in New Orleans.


(edit: ... also don't forget that when he played for us he was playing with heart .... for the most part that is ..... now in L.A., he has a big guaranteed contract and could careless.)

:corn:

NB4 CN comes in here :cry

[lefty]

More talent around him, a better bench than in NO, less mpg

Also acoach who doesnt know to use him

But when he is on the court he domanates

CP3 and TP9 share the best PG throne but that should become the discussion.

I think the biggest problem is, that "Best PG" is like beeing Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 80's action hero scene (there are a lot of others right behind you...van dame, sly, willis,...).
Beeing the "Best C" or "Best SF" feels more like beeing Reese Witherspoon in an 00's chick flick.

And yes, i just declared Paul beeing Schwarzenegger while Howard (or Gasol) is Witherspoon.
