ever did that make a whiskey wacky sports scary moment this week in the
n_b_a_ new orleans hornets in a game against the cleveland cavaliers star
point org chris paul
playing the lead reminiscent of what we've seen this past couple of years in
the n_f_l_ with a
head injury it looked like he was concoct not a doctor
play one on t_v_ but it looked really bad it was late in the third quarter
chris paul
need to be
head
you'll see it here
bargain stripped and then going back to takes the needed ahead
it was down for a long time
they had to bring a stretcher out he wasn't moving for awhile the good news
is
later
he was at the hospital he was joking around with doctors and nurses he was
moving completely follow the game
on his phone proctor teammates
cavaliers lost obviously the board retailers ninety six eighty one can get
together where
of course
the hornets one
but words of the battle for the f_b_i_ seed
india western conference
brings up it is it's an opportunity chris paul a very special player in its
opportunity to remind people that
chris paul
arguably the most clutch player
in the n_b_a_
we talked about this on to i_q_ sports
toby bryant thought it was an incredibly plus player it turns out
not really all that plus a player he's thrown up as many air balls is
game-winning shots down the stretch for the lakers in games that were either
tied to their it down a point
or down two points everybody remembers those great place but they don't
remember the missus bryant has taken a tremendous amount of big-time shots but
is
anyone whose funeral acres knows
goes for other dies to understand around wachovia puts up a shot
and many many many don't get in
you break it down by percentage over the last fifteen years that that as long as
bryant's career
the guys at the most big-time shots in the n_b_a_ has always taken many less
than kobe bryant is carmelo anthony
but second
is chris paul
fourteen out of thirty one that stretch which is forty five percent of those
shots chris paul is knocked out but is a point where that's not even the most
telling statistic from chris paul
what's most interesting about paul
i'll say it as it relates to the lakers
the lakers over brian's career
averaged one hundred and nine points per one hundred possessions
at least our break in the n_b_a_ down very specifically in a hundred nine
points per one hundred possessions makes the lakers the n_b_a_'s most affective
and proficient offenses team
over kobe bryant's career
but over the last twenty four seconds of a close game
they drop down to twelve and the average just eighty two points
per one hundred possessions that's right at the league average which is eighty
two point four point to get so the lakers the best offense of teams
derailing regular part of the game
in a close game down the stretch they've become an average gain
the best team in the late at a hundred and seven points per one hundred
possessions
the nor loves hornets
and that think we can all say is do one hundred percent
to chris paul
against the good news is it looks like chris paul is okay
we ought to get back on the fourth quickly for the world for its because
although a lot of people who only follow the n_b_a_
a little
don't know how good this player is and if he gets out of new orleans what an
enormous difference he's going to make
to a great team
