I don't get why Paul isn't as aggressive offensively. The guy can flat out score also. He holds back so much sometimes.
But compared to other players his gambles usually don't hurt the team. He's a very smart defender. Plays the passing lanes very well. He's also very quick, moves his feet well and strong enough. Yeah he flops. He's still one of the best defensive PGs.
The Heat started last season 9-8, and got blown out by the Spurs by 30 pts too. When you put a lot of stars together with zero training camp, the team needs time to jell. The Clips will be fine 25-30 games from now.
