CP3: ‘We Can’t Stop Anybody’

Both you and Chris Paul can’t believe the Knicks actually won last night: “It left New Orleans with a bitter 117-111 defeat,  as New York shot 60 percent in the fourth quarter Monday night at Madison Square Garden. Despite 32 points by Paul,  which included 18 in the fourth quarter,  it was not enough to keep the Hornets from losing their second game on a road trip that started Sunday with a 97-87 loss to the Boston Celtics. ‘We had a lot of momentum in the fourth, and then we couldn’t get stops,’ Paul said. ‘We played a pretty good game, but our biggest issue right now is that we can’t stop anybody. I don’t know what it is. We go over defense day in and day out at practice. We have to find a way to put it in during games.”‘

    CP3 is starting to get exposed, he needs the ball 90% of the time and he is always crying

  • Th3_R3al_Chris Posted: Nov.3 at 11:43 am
    I’m expecting him to either demand a trade or opt out next summer.

  • rog123 Posted: Nov.3 at 11:47 am
    I am not a cp3 fan at all. I respect him as a player, and his game is great. But this guy does complain a lot and plays dirty, at times, and makes his team look like b1tches when he screams in their face.

    He Cant Blame EMEKA

  • BIRDMAN JR Posted: Nov.3 at 11:58 am
    The real your getting exposed as an infant, of course the ball is in his hands 100% of the time because for one he’s a point, his teammates cant create for themselves and he the BEST POINT in the league no question. If i were his coach i would want the ball in his hands at all times. Did you watch the game last night or were you sucking on ur mum’s boulders.

  • juliocoolio Posted: Nov.3 at 12:15 pm
    if he had a better team he wouldnt have to be complaining thats why they never win

  • Z Posted: Nov.3 at 12:17 pm
    I don’t know if you can really be considered as a basketball fan if you can’t appreciate what CP3 is doing night in night out.

  • Coach Walt Posted: Nov.3 at 12:53 pm
    No way CP3 is best PG in league, Deron Williams plays in a controlled system and puts up nice numbers, just imagined if he had more possesions with the ball like CP3 has, he could have eye popping numbers, plus he’s bigger and shoots better…besides Deron, one who could make a case for best pg in league is… Rondo as being the best overall PG in the league..

  • tealish Posted: Nov.3 at 2:08 pm
    Rondo as the best PG? Really? Not even top 5, buddy.
    -
    I feel for CP3. His career is reminding me of Allen Iverson in the sense that his prime appears to be going to waste. He’s still got plenty of time, but I sure hope he doesn’t stay in NO without any realistic championship opportunities as AI did in Philly.

  • tavoris Posted: Nov.3 at 2:12 pm
    Z…I appreciate his game, but he gets beat off the dribble WAAAAAAAAY too much to have been considered an All-NBA defender.

  • tavoris Posted: Nov.3 at 2:14 pm
    is the Hornet’s offense even less varied than the Cavs? They pretty much just ask Paul to create EVERY scoring opportunity.

  • Coach Walt Posted: Nov.3 at 2:33 pm
    There is no better OVERALL point guard that Rajon Rondo…he is mature for his years, and he doesn’t submit to all stars just cuz they want the ball. He does it on O and D..and I dont even like Rondo like that, but I respect his game. CP3 a liabilty as an on ball defender, and jumper is suspect. D Will, Rondo, Billups, CP3, and some can argue Nash or Parker over him..

  • tavoris Posted: Nov.3 at 2:45 pm
    Coach…CP’s J is looking MUCH better so far…he’s taking them with confidence-and making them.

  • tavoris Posted: Nov.3 at 2:46 pm
    btu even despite is D, Paul is still the best PG in the league. That team has NOBODY else who can create a shot.

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Nov.3 at 2:57 pm
    The first player the Hornets need to stop is Bobby Brown.

  • 360vue Posted: Nov.3 at 3:07 pm
    @Coach Watt… I get the gist of what your sayin, Rajon got game on both ends, but still a big fat NO. I would say Rondo definitely got D over all the top points, but still dude needs ‘ell of a lot of work and to say that is, overall, very very very wrong

  • Andy Posted: Nov.3 at 3:33 pm
    LOL @ Russ. you might like this: http://www.atthehive.com/2009/11/1/1110563/hornet-lose-to-celtics-a-visual

  • Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Nov.3 at 3:45 pm
    What else do they want Chris Paul to do? He’s literally dragging his team through every game. Right now his only help is really David West… They should have brought back Pargo and kept Rasual Butler.

  • Kris Posted: Nov.3 at 3:49 pm
    @ Russ Bengtson … Lol Lol.

  • MeloMan2.0 Posted: Nov.3 at 4:06 pm
    Ok i love rondo… but most overall pg nin the game?? no. Deron and cp3 are muchhh better… i still think dwill is the best tho

  • jrb Posted: Nov.3 at 5:00 pm
    Im just happy that my knicks finally gotta f*****g win

  • kobesbestfriend Posted: Nov.3 at 5:01 pm
    i told every1 in that bs slam rankings that cp3 was overated…i h8 2 tell u i told u so but i told u so…id take DFish over that loser any day!!!

  • Jukai Posted: Nov.3 at 5:08 pm
    You know that Magic Johnson guy, he sucked, he needed the ball 90% of the time to be effective.

  • Jukai Posted: Nov.3 at 5:09 pm
    Wait did someone say Rondo was better than Chris Paul than dock Chris Paul on his jumper (which is vastly underrated)? The same jumper that RONDO DOESN’T HAVE?

  • tavoris Posted: Nov.3 at 5:15 pm
    Teddy, Paul has been getting abused on D the first so far…he’s looking like Steve Nash on that end. That being said, they REALLY need to borrow Utah’s playbook, cuz they run the same non-play every trip.

  • tavoris Posted: Nov.3 at 5:23 pm
    ur right Russ, BB was jackin them up like he was the second coming of Chris Jackson.

  • tealish Posted: Nov.3 at 5:32 pm
    @watt… I really can’t bring myself to call you coach after what you just said… but the answer is NO. Rondo is NOT the best OVERALL PG and it doesn’t even deserve a conversation.

  • Moose Posted: Nov.3 at 5:33 pm
    @ tealish: If the dude had a lights out three pointer he’d definitely be in the conversation.

  • Paps Posted: Nov.3 at 5:34 pm
    Bring back handchecking.

  • shay_boogy Posted: Nov.3 at 5:39 pm
    Stop wit Rondo is best… especially if a part of arguement is CP3′s jumper…. have you ever seen Rondo make a jumper?

  • Jukai Posted: Nov.3 at 5:45 pm
    shay_boogy: Twice. Uhm… that’s about it.

  • ClydeSays Posted: Nov.3 at 5:53 pm
    CP is one of the best shooting PGs, but HE can’t stop anybody. His D is ok, at best. He always seems to be cheating off his man, playing the passing lanes & looking for steals. I can’t remember that last time I saw him shut down any quality PG. If Rondo works up a reliable outside shot, watch out. Until then he’s top ten, not top 5 or number 1. And I’m a fan…

  • b Posted: Nov.3 at 7:33 pm
    All who is this guy coachin? He on rondo a lil to much. Rondo can’t shoot, he got a lil bit of a drivin game and good d. That’s it no leadership qualities about him. CP3 has all the qualities of a great point and if he wants to knock his teams effort, so be it. He has the right too, he do everything for that team.

  • Shem Posted: Nov.3 at 9:55 pm
    Is it just me or is Chris Pauls story depressing? He is one of the best point guards to play in the last 20 yrs and hes stuck on a mediocre team when he should be contending for titles. He can score, shoot, even post, great passer, plays great d, rebounds. I feel bad for him

  • rog123 Posted: Nov.3 at 10:58 pm
    The hornets have a very good complete team. Its up to the point guard to put it all together. Okafor+west+peja+posey+wright+byron scott. I feel soooo bad for cp3. He has the worst team in the history of basketball

  • Jrooks Posted: Nov.3 at 11:25 pm
    Steve nash is the best point guard in the game he can make any one look good

  • The Real Posted: Nov.4 at 1:51 am
    @ Birdman JR …. Deron Williams is way better than CP3. BTW, he has the same team as before, boohoo, he cant throw lobs to Chandler 4 times a game, man up and carry your team. Dont extend your contract when things look good then bitch when ppl figure you out

  • shay_boogy Posted: Nov.4 at 2:02 am
    “I feel soooo bad for cp3. He has the worst team in the history of basketball.” Dude… stop I’m a Warrior fan and don’t put D. West in that group of flunkies he makes all-star teams

    How did Rondo get in this conversation? My man can’t get a break. lol. Although CP3 did have a problem with Rondo’s comments. lol. Rondo is NOT the best PG but we LOVE him here in Boston. BTW, his jumper is a bit better this year. As far as CP3, he is fabulous but stats today are misleading. If someone loses the ball and a person picks it up they give you a steal. lol.

  • Loqui Posted: Nov.4 at 1:25 pm
    CP3 was great in the knicks game. His team just lacks depth, and besides the Knicks seem to have their number. They’ve beat the Hornets three straight times. I’m sure they’ll get it together, however I can’t see them making much noise out West.
