The reason the Clippers had such a good 1st quarter: Chandler Parsons

2. Like I said, I only watched the first quarter, and Lin's defense was fine. The reason why Chris Paul had so many assists is because guys like Reddick were wide open, and Chris Paul simply had to pass them the ball for a wide open shot.

When the PG is allowed to plant himself with no pressure it allows the players around him to run their pieces.

Lin did a good job on CP3 in the first quarter. The reason CP3 got so many assists was that other people were wide open.

In the second quarter, CP3 used his veteran wiles and flopping to draw calls on Lin and went to the line often. Lin had his 4th foul before the 2nd quarter ended, which caused him to play more tentatively afterwards.

1. You can't body up a PG and pressure him all game.

2. You especially don't want to do that against a guard like Chris Paul who will blow by you if you play too tight. Plus he flops and you will be in foul trouble quickly.

Long story short, you aren't going to stop a PG, especially a PG of Chris Paul's caliber from passing to his open teammates.

Reddick was Harden's man primarily, but Chandler was no saint last night defensively. Also, was Lin really locking down CP3???...

Look, the perimeter defense right now just downright sucks. That's Lin, Harden, and Parsons. Even with Beverley comes back, there still will be major issues to address. To top it off, Asik & Howard aren't coming out of the paint to close out on shooters as well. Both are conditioned to drop back and protect the paint.

So who do you want to blame today.... Harden.... Parsons... Lin.. Howard....McHale.... Obama..... they are ALL to blame... especially Obama

Its going to take alot of practice and a change in mental approach with this group to succeed at that end. Not one single person can help change everything overnight.

Would have been a perfect game for Ronnie Brewer.
