Nobody Touches Jordan's video: Gordon Hayward Exposes Chris Paul s Overrated Defense - 2017 Playoffs 1st Rd

Chris Paul guarded Gordon Hayward every once in a while during the 2017 1st Round, and unsurprisingly was lit up the majority of the time. The Clippers' 1st Round series against the Jazz was a good representation of Chris Paul's playoff career. 1. Put up good stats against easier playoff competition - no team that beat CP3 in the playoffs even made the Finals that same year - while also playing 9 of his 13 career series in the 1st Round, meaning that he does not have to maintain his averages for longer playoff runs like true all-time greats 2. Fail to deliver in the biggest moments - 2 points on 1/9 FG, 4 ast to 2 TOs in the 2nd half of Game 7 - 0 points on 0/8 FG, 4 ast to 2 TOs after 11:00 mark of 3rd quarter 3. Play very poor defense. - George Hill and Gordon Hayward had an easy time when matched up with Chris Paul - CP3 made defensive mistakes against the Jazz's other role players as well. CP3 does deserve some credit for leading the Clippers without Blake Griffin for the last 4 games (while the Jazz also dealt with Gobert's injury for 3 games and Hayward's illness for Game 4), but at the same time he still hasn't done anything close to worthy of top 5 all-time PG consideration. Steve Nash is not a top 5 PG and led the 2005 Suns with an injured Joe Johnson and 2006 Suns with no Amare to back to back WCF, with Raja Bell also being injured during the 2006 WCF. Plenty of people have done much more than Chris Paul under similar or tougher circumstances. Generally, the bar is set very low for Chris Paul, so his accomplishments are made out to be much greater than they actually are, since he is only held to an average standard for comparison. The most important thing we learned from this series is that the Clippers are - 1-1 in the playoffs when Griffin plays, but CP3 does not - 1-3 in the playoffs when CP3 plays, but Griffin does not - and Griffin was playing a better team in the Rockets. All those games came in Griffin and CP3's primes, so it is not an unfair sample size.
