In alphabetical order.


Paul has played his team even with the Lakers in the 1st round. 


Rondo torched the Knicks


Rose has taken over the 4th quarter in three come from behind wins.

Personally, Paul has impressed me the most since he is the only one leading an inferior team against the defending champs and has the series tied up. 



The other two are playing great, but lets be honest, the competition are not the big challenges.  Hopefully all three make it to the next round to continue this comparison (and to send Lakers home early)

Chris Paul has been the most impressive player in the post-season, followed by Dwight Howard (putting up ridiculous numbers despite his team losing).
Never forget the Champs of '08, or the gutsy warriors of '10.

It hasn't even been close.  Chris Paul by a landslide.

The voting is currently 11-0-0, and on a Celtics board no less.  Paul has been phenomenal.

This is kind of like voting for NBA MVP. A player on a team with more talent never gets as much credit.

Why is Rose playing great?

Russell Westbrook has played better than Rose. Better than Rondo too.

Ya, I'm going to vote against Chris Paul the day after he gets an insane triple double

I voted Rondo out of loyalty, but CP3 has produced under incredible odds....if he can in fact lead NOH to pull off an upset of the Lakers that would be huge.

He has looked unguardable most of the time - especially vs the Laker Bigs...just about the entire LA team.

It's hard not to vote for Paul.

1. Chris Paul - single handedly keeping the Hornets in the series with the Lakers. Posting up some ridiculous numbers...they have no answer for him

2. Rondo - averaged 19pts, 12asts, and 7rbs on 50% shooting for the series. Not too bad.

I really don't think Rose has been all that impressive. Sure he's scoring a lot and did lead some comeback wins against the Pacers, but shouldn't they be crushing them in the first place? He's shooting 35% from the field and 17% from 3 (and yet he continues to jack up 8 or 9 a night), and is only averaging 6 assists.

CP3 by far, he's shredding the Laker's even when Kobe has been guarding him.

Glad you didn't put Westbook up there. CP3 is a gamer.

His numbers are so deceiving. I watched him play against the Denver game 1. He plays like is has some ADD out there: basketball ADD that is uncurable. He took 23 shots while his center (Perkins) took 4, his 2 guard (sefolosha) took 1 shot.... must be mad frustrating to play with a PG who hoists those many shots.

I am so off the Westbrook -better-than -Rondo wagon.

I agree with all of these posters. Thus far, Paul > Rondo > Rose > Westbrook. Chris Paul is carrying his team through the playoffs and making the Lakers work. Rose is deceiving, his numbers haven't been that good.
