Same with Paul at this point. Probably one of if not the most overrated players in the NBA.
The guy is not a superstar. His teams don't win shit, and his ability to impose his will on a game is extremely limited.
He is a good All-star level player, but he is not great, and people need to stop talking about him like he is a top 10 player.
Realistically on a championship team he would be a good 2nd/3rd option.
Completely disagree here. This is the same guy that came back with a hamstring injury (just see how limited Gasol was with one), and won his team the game, against the defending champs.
Paul is definitely physically tough, sometimes he struggles to keep his composure. But I think the biggest problem, is its really hard for a guy that's just 6 feet tall, despite how good Paul is, to just dominate enough to win a championship.
Paul can score, but he's truly a pass first point guard. This is where the Clippers needed, and it was looking like Griffin was taking his game to the next level, but went back to being not relied upon in big games.
I know Griffin has 20 points, not playing horrible, but it definitely feels like an empty 20 points in this game.
Paul has 26 with just 3 assists, that's a bad sign. It's just hard for small guys to dominate the game offensively, and win titles in this league. It just doesn't happen.
