Paul Has To Be Restrained From Entering Boston's Locker Room

[redzero]

Some of them will legitimately try to argue Manu > Dirk.

I laughed my ass of when I saw that poll. Manu isn't even in the same league as Dirk. He couldn't do with that Mavericks team.

That's their m.o. They change the story up until it eventually is about rings and then the 4 rings got card is pulled.

[dirk4mvp]

No, because I have the same amount of rings as you do

and Dirk > Manu

Did Ben jarvus ot otron make an appearance?

You pull the "1 ring got" card after Manu bailed you guys out. I'd agree to call it even with you dorks.

What was he going to do when he got in there apologize?

On the court Rondo is improving if his shooting didnt suck I would say he is a better defender/rebounder hence better PG than CP3 ...but his shot is flaky

In a scrap? Id take Rajon ...its all about "reach" baby!!

[Killakobe81]

I'm far from a fan of CP3 (always preferred D-Will) but CP3 brings it.

Very Legit #1 PG in the NBA...no hype there. If he replaced Farmar, I'd learn to love the little real fast.

I too prefer Dwill because of the size shooting and he would work well in a traingle, CP# needs the ballin his hands Dwill can play off the ball ...and befor eyou morons agrgue how do I know that ...Iw atched him do it in college some with dee Brown ...

CP# and Rondo are both top PG's ...CP# gets better stats cuz he is asked do so much and delivers (mostly) Rondo gets assists Passing to KG, Pierce and Allen so they both have points ...

Why are people so emotional about the players? That's fine for 12 years old, but it becomes creepy if you're older than that.

I don't know if Paul is the better PG in the league - if I had to pick a PG to build a team around, I'd pick Deron Williams everyday and twice on Sunday. Paul dominates the ball a little too much for my taste and it's more of a defensive liability. He'd be my 2nd choice. After those 2, Parker is 3rd on a tier of his own. Then comes the rest of the bunch - Billups, Nash, Rondo and Rose (who has potential to be as good as the top 2) - the order depends pretty much on what kind of PG you need.

How does Rondo being a better rebounder make him a better PG than CP3?

Pau is a better floor general, scorer, ball handler, passer, shooter. Both are good at creating turnovers. The only real advantage Rondo has over Paul is his size and crazy length. Which makes him a better team defender.

Could care less about my PGs rebounding.

[Killakobe81]

Youre a ing moron.

You want to downplay Tony's success because he has better teammates but dont factor that whatsoever when it comes to stats. Parker scores 20 a night with those 'great' teammates taking away touches as well as being in a real offense where ball movement and team involvement is a huge emphasis. You dont think his numbers would go up if he had the ball in his hands all the time like Paul does, and have a green light to do whatever the he wants? You dont think his numbers would go up being a first option and not having guys like TD, Manu, and now RJ taking away touches? Also as far as being a distributor, I do think Paul is better...but you also have to factor certain in. The Hornets offense is basically Paul goes to work and scores or dishes which helps with his assists, the Spurs offense is completely different. Its the reason you only see TD averaging like 2 apg despite the fact that he constantly draws double teams and is a great passing big man, Spurs are always swinging the ball and making the extra pass to get the best look possible. And youre correct in that Parker doesnt lead the Spurs, but than again neither would Paul if he was here in San Antonio...most players would be second fiddle to Duncan so thats not a knock on TP at all. The fact remains that he has been our starting PG for three les, and a decade in which the Spurs have enjoyed the highest win % among all sports franchises. He hasnt just been there to fill the starting line-up either, he's a 3-time All-Star that has a Finals MVP under his belt. So quit acting like a dumbass, and like we're comparing a second tier player to your ing messiah. Parker is legit, and while Paul is the better player it is not by as much as youre trying to make it out to be.

On top of being a great PG himself...Parker is also proven in the big stage, Paul is not. That is why some Spurs fans including myself would choose to keep Parker, not because we think he is a better player.

Great post (minus the cursing) I agree just like folks CP# would not be a great fit in LA ...now I would change my offense if I HAD CP3 BUT truth is out of the top PG's I could see DWIll as the best fit and I personally dont believe He or TP for that matter are WAYYY behind CPR like the Hornets fans and media does ...

I agree that Rebounding is not the top attribute for a PG but defense is and rebounding can be key how do you think Kidd and Magic start so many breaks getting the rebounfd themselves and pushing ...in fact I think Cp3's rebounding for his size is amazing ...

Who said that? And it's not like Rondo is such a better rebounder than Paul, they're very close.

Does anybody have any real reason why Williams is better than Paul? HERP PAUL HAS THE BALL IN HIS HANDS TOO MUCH DERP isn't a good reason.

[FkLA]

I got Deron and Paul as 1a and 1b, really doesnt matter who you want to consider the best cause theyre so close either way...I will say this--Deron kills Paul head-to-head, is a bigger offensive threat in that when he's on he's basically unstoppable even moreso than Paul, and a better man-to-man defender (he has been able to shut down Paul in the past, Paul has never done that to him).

I dont see anything wrong with people considering Deron the best PG, quit being a homer and acting like Paul is far and away the best. Deron is right there with him and a legit argument can be made for both of them.

The perception that he always wins their head-to-head matchups. That, and the idea that D Will would never allow Chauncey Billups to own him in the playoffs like CP3 did.

[spursfan09]

You obviously never saw the Dirk vs Manu thread in the Spurs section. Dirk barely won the poll.

lmao! No I didn't!

[Hornets1]

This can go both ways, depending on what team you root for...if you watch the video below at :45, it sure as looks like he gets smacked in the nuts to me. Bruce is going for the ball, he gets racked, and that's when he tries to get up, Paul grabs his leg, and Bruce is called for a foul for "kicking" him. Bruce is then suspended for the next game, not allowing him to play his 500th straight game.

Dumbass!!

BTW, EACH AND EVERY PAUL BASHER IN HERE! YOU ARE ALL A BUNCH OF BAGS!

ESPECIALLY SPURS FANS! STUPID ING S!

You mad?

[pauls931]

Paul needs to get out of there.

Why not? It's something that impacts the game. It's mostly a stylistic thing - Isiah Thomas played the same way and he was very good, and Paul is equally good - but I think it limits your options on approaching the game. Plus, the team gets used to play in a certain way - reacting to the PG, instead of reacting to the ball movement or to the defence - and that often leads to stagnancy when the PG is out of the game. Williams offers more versatility, from my perspective - little things, like better small on big screening, better play off-the-ball, he can be used in a 2guard front - and his size makes him a superior and more versatile defender (for example, remember yesterday when Paul was on Ray Allen and got immediately posted? It wouldn't happen with Williams). Anyway, it's more of a stylistic preference to me, I can't really tell one is better than the other, they're just different. If I had a team of spot-up shooters and bigs who are mostly finishers at the rim, I'd pick Paul ahead. But that wouldn't be my kind of roster...

Rondo felt emboldened, eager to engage Paul. The procession of trash talk, sources said, pushed into the personal when Rondo was heard to tell Paul, “I’ve got a ring, and you’re never gonna win one.”

As they traded technical fouls at the Boston Garden, as emotions escalated, sources said Rondo declared that Paul wished he could be him, suggesting that his frustration dripped with envy. On the way to the locker room, Hornets coach Byron Scott heard Paul insist that Rondo “is gonna respect me as a man,” and soon Paul started on his way down the corridor to tell the Celtics point guard himself.

Sounds like a future Jason Kidd...
BRHornet, do you treat your women like that too?
