    You have to trap in unexpected ways. Once he knows the trap is coming he can pass out of it and burn us with an open shot for a teammate. You can't trap so often that they devise effective strategies against it.

    Well, they may anyway.

    So if we have to switch and he can clearly slaughter Jones... Wouldn't it make sense to play capela more than 7 minutes? Jones was decent last night, but the deeper we get into the playoffs the more I become convinced were better off playing capela 20+mpg... Especially given his ability to somewhat stay with curry on the perimeter.

    We need to keep changing his looks. Sometimes press up on his full court, others double. Throw Nick Jones on him to tough him up on a few plays, gets Brewer on him.

    BUT...please stop switching when Jones is defending the screener. Make the other guy shoot, double him.
