    We need Paul to play like someones whos making 35 million a year. Averaging 15.6 ppg in the playoffs so far isnt going to cut it against the Warriors. The Warriors will throw everything they have at Harden and if Gordon is having an off night we need Paul to step up.

    Lets pray that we see Paul of last year's game 5.

    i certainly hope he will be the x factor. as far as i'm concerned he's been a let down this year. he is not earning his money. he is not playing like a super star player. he needs to sack up quick. i'm growing impatient with him.

    If we have the CP3 decades of yore, how many hits to the groin can he inflict on our enemies?

    And I thought Chris Paul had the Y-Factor because of his Lil Napoleon complex. :eek:

    Soo you think his issues are because he is just not "sacking up"?

    I would like to see CP more aggressive with his offense. However, I am seeing a new play formation this series especially when Capella out. CP is usually standing in the corner drawing his man in or waiting for an open shot and let Harden do his thing at the top. He pretty much assumed Tucker's corner spot while Tuck is playing center. I think this is a designed play to keep him off the ball so that Harden has a lane to drive and people can't play off on CP. That's probably the reasons he hasn't been hunting for shots. Just my observation.

    i don't really care what the issues are. he's the highest paid player on our team and he's not measuring up. we need more production out of CP3

    People need to just realize the cold hard truth that we paid 40 mil for a severely declining previous superstar.

    The calvary isn’t coming. He isn’t going to turn it on and give us superstar level play. This is what we have to live with. Solid starter with major weaknesses.

    It’s like he can hardly even get the ball to the rim on a 3 attempt.
    And he’s scared to jump because his hamstrings.
    He basically dribbles. That’s it folks

    He's declining fast as these playoffs go along and it's disheartening. He's tentative and just doesn't have the juice to bring it, even on occasion like he did last year and a few times earlier this year.
