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

[Ghazi]

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.

To add to that, Williams has never quit in the playoffs and lose by 58 on his home court and has NEVER let Jannero Pargo take 13 4th quarter shots.


CP3 is the 4th or 5th best PG in the league. Good regular season player, but folds in the playoffs. Nothing more, nothing less.

Paul is such a ....

Parker>>>Paul...easily

And don't argue stats, because there is soooo much more that Tony brings to the game and his team that Paul doesn't.

I bet Paul slaps around his girlfriends.

Yeah, Parker brings fewer everything.

this cp3 frenzy is absolutly bananas. Damn.. nine pages. As for the comparison with deron, they are very close in value just that cp3 is getting alot more press. Cp3 lacks deron's size, defense and lags in head to head's but is more of a stat padder and a better playmaker in my opinion...etc... they are really close in this.

No, they aren't close. Paul is clearly the superior player.

Why would someone not want a point guard who does virtually everything better? Homerism, really.

Paul would definitely make any team better than Parker ever would. He does everything Parker does and he gets more assists.

who is the homer, homer?

I don't see how posting the truth makes me a homer.

Rondo is a , put Rondo on an average or below average team, and he has no ring

Wait... So you're telling me that if he was on an average team, he wouldn't be on a championship team? That was a profound statement man. You just blew my ing mind.

The imagination of the Lakers fans never ends. Are you the same guy that complained about refs not calling illegal defence on Boston?

Rajon Rondo-Chris Paul talk lingers
By Mark Murphy / Celtics Notebook

PHILADELPHIA - As the result of an incident that now threatens to rival the length of Rajon Rondo’s just-completed agreement on a contract extension, the Celtics point guard’s verbal beef with New Orleans Hornets star Chris Paul has taken on an extended life.

A league official confirmed yesterday that the NBA is investigating the incessant trash talking between the two guards during the C’s win Sunday at the Garden, a development that Rondo chose to pass on without a comment.

“They haven’t called me yet,” Rondo said after the C’s 105-74 win over the Philadelphia 76ers last night. “They have to do what they have to do, and that’s it.”

Though fines are possible, considering Rondo and Paul both drew technical fouls after being separated in the second quarter at the Garden, the entire issue drew a shrug from Ray Allen.

“Most of the time there’s nothing there in something like that,” Allen said. “You’re just out there competing and (trash talking) is one result. The times I got fined and talked to (NBA discipline czar) Stu Jackson afterward, he said you can’t retaliate - you have to walk away. That’s easy to say. It’s hard when you’re competing. You get emotional.”

Allen denied part of a Yahoo! Sports report that claimed he later went into the New Orleans locker room to apologize to Paul for Rondo’s actions. Though he went into the locker room to meet with Paul, Allen said he didn’t apologize.

“Chris was giving us an autographed jersey for the High Hopes Fund,” Allen said of a charity his family supports that is sponsored by the Joslin Diabetes Center. “Chris and I share the tie of being Brand Jordan athletes, so we’re in contact.

“I did ask him, ‘What was going on between the two of you on the floor?’ and he said, ‘It was just the two of us out there competing, that’s all.’ ”

No penalties for Chris Paul, Rajon Rondo

The NBA will not penalize Chris Paul or Rajon Rondo for an incident between them after a recent game in Boston.

Paul pursued Rondo toward the Celtics’ locker room and was blocked by Boston assistant coaches after the Celtics’ 97-87 victory over New Orleans on Sunday night. The point guards had been assessed matching technical fouls in the second quarter after they got tangled up under the basket.

League spokesman Tim Frank also says Thursday the league won’t take action against Paul from a game at New York on Monday. Knicks forward Al Harrington came up with a loose ball after a Hornets turnover with about 5 1/2 minutes left. Paul dove on top of him and made contact with Harrington’s head.

Of course, if it was Artest or Bowen, it would have been a 10 game suspension
