Bowen got destroyed by CP too. Thats what made the decision to switch him to Peja easier.

I actually think Williams is a player Bowen could guard. Better than Paul, anyway.

I have seen teams rattle Chris Paul. I've seen defenses that stop his penetration into the lane, create bad shots, and this has happened in the postseason.

And simply, there are things that a guard who stands five inches taller can do at shutting down the in ator of the offense, statistics be damned. Defenses can see over him and he has to press to keep the guy off-balance. The problem with pressing 100% of the time is that it involves too much gambling. It has been a problem with Paul, I've seen it with my own eyes.

And as you pointed out this is a close race. To lose 37 games last season and not make the postseason is losing a lot of ground in a comparison that changes by the year.

Son again thanks for proving my point that most of you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and go by what others tell you. First of all please at least get your facts right. Deron is 6'3 and Paul is 6'0. I don't know what type of math you are using, but that is only a 3inch difference not 5 like you said. Also you say there are things a taller player can do that a shorter player can't.. ok then why isn't Deron doing it better than Paul? CP out rebounds Deron by far and is a much better scorer at creating his own shots. Your argument is not only completely inaccurate, but completely ignorant as well. Look I don't care who you prefer all I ask is that you at least educate yourself so that you will have some factual iinformation to argue for Deron and 90% of his supporters don't do that. (Mainly because whenever they actually look at the facts comparing him to Paul they quickly realize they don't have a leg to stand on other than their bitter personal opinion)

I have personally met Chris on 3 different occasions and can assure you that he is 6'0. lol you people ... what's next? "ummm his points per game average in 08-09 was wrong! the NBA added points to his stats! Deron's were ALL EARNED!"
