Klay Thompson Exposes Chris Paul's Overrated Defense - 2018 NBA WCF

Спорт

The overrated Chris Paul got lit up by Klay Thompson in Game 1 of the WCF, and only guarded him for a few isolated instances afterwards. Klay took advantage of Paul's usual poor off-ball defense and occasionally backed him down in the post.
Chris Paul averaged his least assists (5.8) in any playoff run and least assists in any playoff series (4.6) during the 2018 WCF, proving that the only way for him to be successful on the team level is by having someone like Harden do most of the work for him. He also shot his 2nd-lowest FG% in any series during the 2018 WCF, second only to his horrendous performance against the 2012 Spurs.
Fortunately for Chris Paul, Andre Iguodala was injured during his clutch performances in Games 4 and 5 or else his numbers would have been even less impressive and the Rockets would have been eliminated earlier (According to ESPN, Iguodala held Harden and CP3 to 1/41 FG from Games 1-3, though I feel these numbers may be exaggerated).
James Harden and Clint Capela led all players or tied all leading players on both teams in PPG, RPG, APG, SPG, and BPG for the 1st and 2nd Rounds of the 2018 Playoffs to carry the overrated Chris Paul to his first WCF, since he was clearly never good enough to do this as the leader on his own team.
This is now the 4th time in 6 career playoff series wins that Chris Paul's teammates had to lead all players on both teams in PPG, RPG, and BPG (Blake/Deandre in 2014 and 2015, Harden/Capela in 2018)

    One example of why NBA.com player DFG% is not accurate, for all who are citing this to argue Chris Paul played good defense Through 2 games of the NBA Finals, nba.com claims that LeBron has not scored on Curry - stats.nba.com/player/2544/matchups/?Season=2017-18&SeasonType=Playoffs&DateFrom=05%2F31%2F2018&DateTo=06%2F03%2F2018 However one can clearly see that LeBron has scored on Curry at least 3 times through Games 1-2. - kzread.info/dash/bejne/lGia0NCEdpSnqMo.html - kzread.info/dash/bejne/lGia0NCEdpSnqMo.html - kzread.info/dash/bejne/iqp1u5mHadm7pqg.html so NBA.com's DFG% is not at all accurate and citing it does nothing to hide Chris Paul's poor defense.

    2018 1st Round and 2018 WCSF Harden and Capela lead all players or tie all leading players on both teams in PPG RPG APG SPG BPG for both the 1st and 2nd Round to carry Chris Paul to the WCF for his first ever 2nd-round series win. 2018 WCF Paul's only great performance in the 2018 WCF was Game 4 after Iguodala, the Warriors' best perimeter defender was injured and his next-best 4th quarter was in Game 5. Prior to Iguodala's injury he had 17.3 - 8.3 - 4.3 on 40/25/75 with 2.0 TOpg and 4.3 fouls per game for Games 1-3, and that is even with him stat-padding in Game 1 and Game 3 Game 1 - 6 points on 3/3 FG in the last 80 seconds down 12+ Game 3 - 8 of 13 points, 1 of 4 assists after being down 20+ late in the 3rd quarter The 2018 Warriors are the only team he faced that made the NBA Finals or won it all, and he averaged his least assists in any series (4.6) and 2nd-lowest FG% (40.7%) in any series against them. Showing that he only has such good career playoff stats because - 10 of his 16 series are in the 1st Round - and because he never played a Finals or Title caliber team prior to the 2018 Warriors. The only 60-win team he faced was the 2012 Spurs (adjusted for 82 games) and he shot 37% with 4.5 TOpg against them. When Chris Paul does face the highest level of competition, he has mediocre or poor performances. The Rockets already made the WCF while beating Chris Paul in the process in 2015, and with injured Patrick Beverly missing the entire playoffs. The only way for Chris Paul to have playoff success on the team levels is by joining a team that already had more success without him then Paul did on his own teams. Kevin Johnson, Jason Kidd, and Steve Nash all joined sub-30 win teams and immediately took them to 2 consecutive Conference Finals (NBA Finals for Kidd) despite KJ and Nash dealing with injuries to themselves or teammates, respectively. No excuse for Chris Paul failing to reach the WCF as the leader while losing to 0 Finals/Title teams prior to riding Harden's coattails.

    I didn't watch the video I already know his garbage blueprint. The time breakdown of the video is something like 10% of legit plays / 20% of good defense they just made the shot / 30% is showing every foul and anything else to make the video as long as possible / 40% of it is BS where he takes reaching to another level. Video complete.

    The revisionism for Chris Paul has already begun. He was nowhere near the Rockets best player in the playoffs or this series. Harden and Capela led all players on both teams, or tied all leading players on both teams, in PPG RPG APG SPG and BPG for each of the first 2 rounds. In the 2018 WCF, Paul averaged his least assists in any series (4.6) and 2nd-lowest FG% in any series (40.7%, after the 2012 WCSF). He was riding the Harden's coattails the whole way and has to give up his stats to make it far in the playoffs, since he could never do it as the leader of his own team and averaged a career playoff low 5.8 APG in 2018. The Rockets were also fortunate with Iguodala's injury as the Warriors were up 2-1 with both teams' starting lineups fully intact. Considering he held Harden/Paul to a combined 1/41 FG in Games 1-3 according to ESPN, that easily could have been the difference in Game 4, by far Paul's best of the series, and Game 5 which were decided by only 3 and 4 points without their best perimeter defender.

    Dubfansince 1980 Houston definitely had an easier series without Rubio I won't deny that. However Rubio isn't the type of player to be the difference in that series. Curry recovering from a knee injury haha? Sounds like a made up excuse to me for his inconsistent play. Chris Paul wasn't 100% the entire series either and nobody is using it as an excuse.
