Deron Williams has always been my vote for the NBA’s best overall point guard. In game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference Playoffs he put his team on his back, and without starters Andrei Kirilenko and Mehmet Okur, led the Utah Jazz to a 114-111 win in Denver. The Jazz tied the [...]
Chris Paul returned to the lineup to help inspire the New Orleans Hornets to a victory over the Dallas Mavericks, 115-99. Paul’s return to the starting lineup relegated superb rookie Darren Collison back to the bench, where he still contributed 16 points and 8 assists in 34 minutes. Those number are expected to decline as [...]
With Chris Paul out due to knee surgery Darren Collison has emerged into respectability as an NBA point guard for the New Orleans Hornets. Tonight was his 3rd consecutive game in which he hit 20 points or more. He went finished with 25 points and 9 assists against Rajon Rondo, who is quite possibly the [...]
I mentioned in a previous post that I believe Deron Williams is the league’s best point guard. This year marks his first All Star team, he was a member of the “Redeem Team,” aka the US Men’s Basketball Olympic team, and his Jazz have a superior winning percentage (.625) to the Hornets (.531) and the [...]
Chauncey Billups was named as the successor to Chris Paul’s All Star spot today. Chris Paul is undergoing knee surgery for a torn meniscus, and will likely miss an extended period of time. Charles Barkley is probably walking around telling folks “Chris Kaman is rollign around in his grave.” Not to discredit Kaman, but Billups [...]
Chris Paul is having knee surgery. The projected timetable for his return is varying based on which report you read, and the New Orleans Hornets must be concerned about their 2009-10 season being a wash. Hornets fans already know this, but for those who do not follow them closely, you should take a closer look [...]
We mentioned earlier last week Chris Paul has a cloudy future in New Orleans. The Hornets got a taste of how far off they are from being a title contender as the Los Angeles Lakers dismantled the Hornets with ease on Sunday night The Lakers basically cruised to a victory without any resistance by the [...]
Chris Paul is finding his Hornets off to an abysmal start this season at 1-3. Their most recent defeat was to the New York Knicks. Yeah, the New York Knicks. Rajon Rondo was overheard telling Paul the following: “I’ve got a ring, and you’re never gonna win one.” Although Paul states there is nothing to [...]
Tonight DeJuan Blair begin what will serve to be his season long testament that he is clearly the steal of the 2009 draft. Blair was poised like a veteran displaying us a game well beyond his years. His contribution with 14 points and 11 boards was impressive. It reinforces my argument that the San Antonio [...]
With the NBA season starting tomorrow it is time for some Protect the Paint predictions as to which player will win which award this year. Two of these predictions might come as a surprise to most readers, but if they happen to become reality, you heard it here first! Most Valuable Player – Chris Paul [...]
