If CP3 played like Rondo, he might have a ring by now, like Rondo.

Saying Paul is a shoot first PG
How many assists would Paul have playing next to 3 Hall of Famers? Paul played with David West his whole career
And no Rondo can't shoot. He gets most of his points inside the paint on layups and floaters.
Thinking Paul could have won a ring on those Hornets and Clippers teams![]()
Blaming everyone but the guy who runs the show![]()
Who said I blamed anyone? But I doubt you really think Paul could have led either of those teams to a championship.
How many Hall of Famers has he played with compared to Rondo?
Give up DMC. You're getting owned.
That's it, blame everyone except the point.
TC and Peja had to go to Dallas to win a ring under Kidd.
West got to the 2nd round with scrubs in Indy.
Neither of these guys have ever played with a HOFer player, as they are all still playing.
None of the big 3 ever won a ring before Rondo.
grading your own progress is as objective as your homer take on Paul
So obviously Kidd was the biggest reason for the Mavs success. Peja was a backup on the Mavs. Chandler hardly played for the Hornets after the 2007-2008 season due to injuries.
Going to the 2nd round is the same as winning a championship. Granger and Hibbert both made the All-Star team yet their scrubs.
Obviously KG, Pierce, and Allen won't go to the Hall of Fame.
Neither of the Big 3 played together before they became the Big 3.
Oh Paul averaged 9.8 assists per game in his career compared to Rondo's 8.1.
You need to keep it between the lines.
If you want to say they play with potential future HOFers, that's fine. No one is playing with HOFers.
The two Finals appearances and one ring figures greatly into the HOF decision for these players, and Rondo was the PG for those years.
Chris Paul averaged more points than anyone on his team during the 2007 playoffs. That indicates a problem. David West had fewer points per game than Chris Paul. Pargo had more ppg than Tyson Chandler.
Just ask DoK about point guards who lead the team in scoring.
It's not a career thing, it's a "right now" thing. Right now, a serious team would be better served with Rondo as their point than with Chris Paul, all else being equal.
That's because Paul was the best scorer on that team. Most of West's points were created from Paul. He wasn't a great scorer in isolation. Paul was always their best scorer. They had no one on the team who could create their own shot. That's why Paul had to do the heavy lifting. That's more of a reflection on the team than on Paul. Same with Pargo averaging more points than Tyson. Tyson could only score on dunks and was a terrible FT shooter back then. Why would he get touches? Pargo was the only other person on that team who could create his shot off the dribble. Everyone else were glorified jump-shooters.
That just isn't true. Paul is an excellent floor general. He knows how to run an offense and is a strong passer. That's why he's one of the most efficient players in the league. He scores when he has to, but that doesn't usually happen till the 4th quarter of games. Rondo is a liability at times with his perimeter shooting. A big reason why the Celtics lost Game 7 to the Lakers. He couldn't make any open jumpers. Paul is a much better scorer than Rondo and overall a much better offensive PG since he can pass really well, shoot, and scorer. There's no comparison offensively between Paul and Rondo.
Really?
So then no one on the Clippers can get their own shots, because CP averaged 20ppg, just a tad under Griffin, and above everyone else on the team.
But how does Griffin get most of his points? Mostly dunks and athleticism. He's not a great scorer in isolation right now. Doesn't have post skills, can't shoot well. He gets his points on dunks and running the floor. Who else do have the Clippers have who can create his own offense? Paul scores on these teams because he has to.
Are you serious?
Did you even watch the Memphis series?
Who's a better scorer on that team than Paul? Outside of Blake.
You don't understand the concept of running the point. I know Chris Paul is a great scorer. Great scoring point guards, especially those with the highest salaries on the team, aren't conducive to winning championships. You don't need a great scoring point guard, you need a ball handler and distributor who can score if needed.
You're using post hoc ergo propter hoc, or because Paul scores a lot, he's required to. That's not true. He scores a lot because he's a great scorer. The top scorers on that team should be the bigs and/or shooting guards, not the PG.
That Clippers team has a load of scoring options if your PG can run the pick and roll, or distribute the ball and doesn't look for his shot first.
Shut down the PG and you cripple the team in Paul's case. Shut down the PG last year in Dallas and you get killed from elsewhere.
Helps Fisher's durability. He's putting his body on the line without hesitation on the court and walks away each & every time.
back to topic:
fatasses are: CP3, Lowry, Baron f'n Davis, and even Mario Chalmers imo with his fat face.
Paul is one of the best pick and roll point guards in the league. The Hornets always ran the PnR with him. He's a very adept passer. I think he would have been a pass first point in Boston and would have racked up alot of assists. He did that in NOLA with glorified jump shooters and a dunker in Chandler.
CP3 has never had three hall of famers to carry him to a ring, tbh....
