Message: [QUOTE="superjohn, post: 2719996, member: 1522"] I find people who weren't old enough to watch or just didn't watch get so hung up on numbers (at least he finally posted the right numbers). It's pretty hard to believe anyone who watched them both during their careers and in big playoff games could come away saying Paul is the better player. The Clippers were routinely one of the favorites going into the season and all they ever managed was making the second round. They had one of the all-time playoff chokes blowing it to a nothing Rockets team. Paul's numbers may have been good I'm not even going to look it up because I know what I saw. Clippers were destroying them and had the series won before giving it all away, your job as a point guard is to not let that happen. Paul is a great player but there is no getting around that his teams didn't live up to expectations when the lights were the brightest, it's a team game but when you are the point guard and the best player a lot of the blame is going to fall at your feet, as it should. Since Auror loves stats so much, he should be touting Westbrook, Harden, and Tiny Archibald over Paul and Thomas. [/QUOTE]
