sheltwon3ParticipantI am shocked right now because it would it would appear I did not realize how good the Hornet would be. They are about to be 3 -0 against so pretty good competition. They managed to get some spare parts and a healthy Chris Paul and David West and are looking good.
As a fan of New Orleans anything I really overlooked how much Chris Paul can make a different if healthy for this team. This is why I feel he is the best point guard in the league.
Who else could get a team like this and have this playing this well this early.

sheltwon3ParticipantAlso Rose is a beast and had brought him team back single handed. It is funny how Wall did a similiar thing and fell short but Rose who is a little bit older and more experience will succeed. Wall is maybe a couple of seasons away from doing what Rose will tonight.

joecheck88Participantcp3 didnt have much talent a few years ago when they were the 2 seed, i think they are a better team now. that doesnt mean they will be a 2 seed but most people have been under rating chris paul because of the injuries. he is a top 5 player when healthy. i would take cp3 over anyone not named lebron, kobe, durant, or dwight. this is a team similar to phoenix as they can win a ton of regular season games. that doesnt translate to post season success but new orleans could no doubt win 50 games this year without injuries.

sheltwon3Participanttrinajoe I agree. I know how good CP3 is but i guess with all this other good players, I did not give him his proper due is elevating a team. You are right this team is more talented than thier previous team and they have guys that are still learning how to play on this team. New Orleans could possibly be the reason that Houston or Utah does not make the playoffs in the West.

RUDEBOY_ParticipantAnytime you have a superstar anything is possible..Look at Lebron took that terrible 2007 Cavs team to the Finals..Last year Wade carried the Heat into the Playoffs..
Just 3 years ago The Hornets were considered an up & coming team and CP3 finished 2nd in MVP Voting..If they can add some frontcourt depth they might make some noise this year….

omphalosParticipantI’ve made a point of watching every Hornets game on League Pass, and I too have been thoroughly impressed with Paul’s play, he’s simply a brilliant player. He controls the pace of the game so well and doesn’t force anything. He has been shooting ridiculously well too. Paul has already proved to me that he remains far and away the best point guard in the League when healthy. If Paul and West can stay healthy they are making playoffs.

RUDEBOY_ParticipantCP3 does alot of things that most people dont notice..Thats what separates him from other point guards…

llperezi’ve mentioned it a few times recently, it blows my mind people wrote this team off like chris webber who said they had zero chance at the playoffs and probably wouldnt see the playoffs for another 4 years. Chris paul is that good. Also, ariza gets to reclaim is role he had with the lakers where he doesnt get to dribble or create, just slash and spot up which is exactly what he should be doing. David west is playing with passion especially since he is loking for a new contract. They have defenders and shooters.

Da1potParticipantI like how they look right now. If they are contending by the all-star break they definately need to trade Peja for someone who can help them in the playoffs(Tayshaun Prince, Rip Hamilton, Kirilenko, Igoudala). I actaully like the two-headed monster of Belinelli and Thornton at shooting guard, as they are both very good volume scorers who can light it up in a hurry. Ariza doesn’t have to score to be that effective, he just has to play good d and hit the open shots that are given to him. West is scoring on quality shots and Chris Paul orchestrates everything…. I wonder how good of a season Jerryd Bayless will have????

JNixonParticipantI simply don’t understand how ANYONE could say Chris Paul isn’t the best PG in basketball. He consistently gets the Hornets to severely overachieve. It really speaks to how good he is. The guy is a top 5 player in basketball, and he can basically make a "chicken sh*t" situation into "chicken salad."

BothTeamsPlayedHardParticipantLast year, New Orleans was a good team when Paul was on the floor. He was never healthy, never 100%, but him simply being on the floor was the difference between them being awful and solid. If he stays healthy, they can compete in the West.
