Chris Paul is pretty much regarded as the best point guard in the league.  Rajon Rondo, however, doesn't seem to be impressed.  At least... if you believe SI's Chris MannixKendrick Perkins just told me that Rondo said "Chris Paul has the stats that he has because he has the ball in his hands all game." YikesWhoa... since when is Kendrick Perkins the "mouth off to the reporter" guy?  And we're tweaking one of the best players in the league?  Hornets...

    Did u see how many time PP had to seperate RR and CP3? Its like they couldnt seperate from being around eachother and talking trash. I dunno who started the trash talking first, but it def was intresting...

      Its impossible to compare the two. They both do different things. RR is the one who is like a QB for the team, calls the plays, makes shots for the Big 3... CP3 on the other hand does more, and because he doesn't have a Big 3, shooting first is what he does...

      You can't compare the other because each team needs diffferent. What the C's are able to accomplish with RR being the "captain" on the floor, CP3 would not be able to do. He's kinda shoot first point.

      What CP3 does the hornets, RR would not be able to do...

      I don't think RR is only good because he works with Ray, KG, and PP. The only thing that helps RR in his stats bcuz of the Big 3, are his assists. But his points, rebounds, etc have nothing to do with them. If your talking about teaching, mentoring, and coaching being what gives RR an edge for playing with the Big 3, then fine.

      His work and talent gets over shadowed and no one sees how much of an impact his play calling, and decisions make the outcome of the game. If I remember correctly, there have been multiple days where the Big 3 were healthy, and RR was out with an ankle problem, and the C's had trouble.

      People like to say that we run with the Big 3, but to me, we run with RR and when he chooses to play with intensity or not.

      If I wasn't in class right now, I could have found multiple quotes from Doc, Ainge, PP, KG, Ray, and other sports analysts telling you that the C's depend on RR and the way he plays.

      I do think CP3 is really good, and has an edge on RR because he can score up to 30+ pts, and hes quick, and just THAT good, but you need to remember they are TOTALLY different points. RR doesnt need to score for the C's to win. CP3 needs to. As you can see, he puts up 20+ in two games and they still lose.

      RR has an edge on D, which to me, and a lot of people who have seen us in the 07-08 season, D is more important than offense.

      On paper, CP3 DEF is the better point. But when you watch them play against each other, they're pretty equal, all their "edges" they have on the other covers up for what they are missing. They are diff points, and contribute to their teams differently.

    I got one word for you. Jumpshot.

      Yea, I know he doesn't have a consistent like 18 footer jump shot, but the reason why its not a hindrance on our team is because he has three other players that provide the points... When you have PP, KG, and Ray as the main scorers of the team, you become a assist first PG....

      CP3 doesn't have that many players who are lethal when it comes to scoring, so he may shoot first...

      But oh well im done trying to explain this...

      Comparing the two is not easy or is pointless bcuz they are two diff pg's on two diff teams, and contribute two diff ways... One or the other would not do well on the other's team...
