some other team used a smaller defender on him
Celts used Marcus smart
If jose is guarding paul in the last 5 minutes of the game, we have no shot at winning. Bottom line.
Hack a Jordan time. Would have started it sooner.

KP has trouble posting up stronger players; he can't budge them when backing down.
They've gone away from getting KP the ball off curls and down screens! He should be money on those plays.
Hard to do if he stands at 3pt line.

It'd be really nice to have Lance for this game to try. But yeah, I hope Langston or Grant are on him to end the game.
They are killing us from 3. They have 9 to our 2.
Yes! We're doing Hack-A-Jordan! LET'S DO IT!!!

It's a minor adjustment. It's a motion offense so he can be used in a variety of spots as they did earlier in the season.

DeAndre is killing us on dunks. They should do the strategy just to get him off the floor.
Okay...can someone please explain this to me. Clippers call a TO with 15 seconds left in the half to draw up a play. Someone explain to me why jose is guarding paul in the last defensive possession coming out of the timeout? Paul took it all the way to the rim and luckily Melo helped and changed the shot. Another example of dumb coaching.
My approach would be to attack CP3! He's the one making it all happen. Double him, trap him, whatever it takes to make him give up the ball or slow him down. He's just doing what he wants out there!!!
is the hate for pierce because he has been a knicks killer over the years? he is without a doubt a great player. i love his game. matter of fact melo has been playing more like pierce this season. hard to imagine that knicks fans would hate great players just because they are knick killers.

The way he shoots free throws, he should not be getting any dunks. If I were the coach, I'd tell them to wrap him up every time he gets it in the paint.

The problem is that nobody on the Knicks can defend C.Paul and i don't think anyone in the game can guard him. He put up 30 points and 9 assists on Kyrie last night and he's one of the better defenders at the PG position. No way can Gallo or Grant guard him. Teams need to play help defense when you're playing a point guard like him and you don't have any point guards that can guard him one on one.

Yes...Paul is a really great player and is extremely hard to guard for anyone; however, it's a lot easier for him to get around Jose who is so slow footed than say a Gallo or a Grant. Calderon doesn't have the physical tools to keep him in front of him, and he shouldn't be asked to do that, either, by the coach.
