This may be the final straw that forces me to buy the Hornets games on DirecTV just to see Chris Paul. This was just the most recent in what will be a LONG line of amazing performances by this man mountain. The smallest man on the court who makes the least amount of money carried this whole team. With 2 seconds left in the game, Chris Paul made a driving layup to put the Hornets in the lead by 2 points. His final line was a game high 27 points and 7 assists. He did make too many turnovers this game with 5. But he increased his 3 point percentage going 3 for 5. He still remains near the top of the league with 3 steals tonight too.
Wow I wish I had seen this game live. The Hornets were down because of a characteristically lackluster 3rd quarter where they got outscored 30 - 16. They trailed by nearly 10 points with as little as 5 or 6 minutes left. And then Super Paul came to the rescue. There is not another difference maker in the basketball world that can do what Chris Paul can do. He makes less than 1/3 of what the other players make who had off nights. I think they need to give him all a very nice Christmas present. Or at the least a nice dinner for this one.
I'm so excited that Paul is in the NBA. The NBA is lucky to have him. What an amazing talent. New Orleans better hope they are willing to ante up for his skills or someone else certainly will.
Box score.
