Rose isn't a PG. He's a SG.
Rose lifted his team in the fourth.
Paul has been a liability all year. Remember how you complained about him constantly all season br?
Yea but Rose doesn't quit on his team.
chris paul killed the lakers today though, that is fact
Yes. He also killed the hornets chemistry all season long.
He was pacing himself all season while resting his knee and getting everyone else involved in the offense
Seriously, Paul has placed himself the best pure PG right now. Rose is a SG in my opinion. Doesn't create as well for his teammates as Paul can, but is definitely a more explosive scorer especially in the 4th. Really, Rose needs to be a SG for his team to win. They don't have reliable scorers. Hornets need that from Paul, but he hasn't regained his explosion to shoot over defenders or effectively finish in the lane.
Paul knows the real season just started.
Lakers have know answer for him. They can't pack the paint like with Tony because of his ability to shoot the ball. Fisher,Kobe,Artest are merely a orange cone when the ball is in Paul's hands. Now that he knows that he is unstoppable I expect Paul to score even more in the games to come.
That's not really true. Hornets aren't a great team. They have a bunch of role players. He has alot of new teammates, a brand new coaching staff who are trying to run more set plays instead of the pick-n-roll. Also, Paul isn't surrounded by perimeter shooters so its harder for him to drive to the basket. The biggest reason why Paul had a big game today was the Hornets exclusively ran the PnR instead of their usual motion offense sets.
Agreed. I don't see the point in comparing themHe was pacing himself all season while resting his knee and getting everyone else involved in the offense

Why do you care about Paul so much when he's just going to leave your city the first chance he gets?
Paul half ass put forth effort during the season. that is a fact. however he is clearly giving 100% in the playoffs and it shows. Derrick Rose is only in his 3rd season with a huge market team. give him another season or two and he will start half assing as well once he gets a big contract. plus by the way he plays he will be another Gilbert Arenas soon.
I was saying during the game that CP3 had a better game. He was phenomenal today
I think d rose is way to modest fir that kind of behavior, I don't wanna sound like I'm on his nuts, but that kid is different. I don't think this is going to go to his head, he's just a natural compe or. I'd ing kill to build a team round him. MVP after three years? That's how good he his, and he's only going to get better. I think the only thing that might cause problems is if they move Noah. He's young, and he might out if they move his best friend the way rondo did with perk.
Edit. typing on an ipad
like all "elite" PGs, neither one will be left standing in June
son this kid has Allen Iverson Syndrome written all over him. he is still young and only in his 3rd season, but give it time and his "me first" at ude will eventually be his collapse.
Who are elite PGs in the playoffs?
Paul
Rose
Westbrook maybe? Rondo?
We'll see BR, I'm not so sure, I think kids gonna be huge.

I still think Paul was better in his 3rd year and arguably should have won a MVP that season. Paul was even getting better until he hurt his knee. I think Rose has a chance to be great, but he will do it differently. He's not a natural PG like Paul, but he doesn't have to be. However, I don't think his offensive game is quite good enough to lead his team to a le this season similar to Paul in his 3rd year when the Hornets lost to the Spurs. The Paul of last season would have easily won that Game 7 since he had so much more confident in his outside jumper. The 2007-2008 Paul just wasn't ready to win that game. I feel Rose is at the same point right now.
I got
CP3
Rose
Westbrook
Outside looking in:
Rondo
Parker
Billups
CP3 is the best PG when healthy.
I consider both Rose and Westbrook as SGs mostly. They're not PGs.
