As they continue to fall short of expectations, the start of the 2019 season has not been kind to the Houston Rockets, especially to their star point guard, Chris Paul. Yes, a minor leg injury and a suspension have played a factor into his slow start, but there is something deeper when analyzing Paul’s struggles so far this season.
Without a doubt, Paul has had a few great performances so far this year. Despite a 116-111 overtime loss to the Detroit Pistons, Paul played exceptionally well. He registered 20 points on 7-for-16 shooting, to go along with nine assists and five rebounds in the Motor City.
