duncan needs to guard him
#1. He was exceptionally hot tonight, exceptionally hot and I don't think the Spurs defended him poorly for the most part. This guy knocked down some tough damn shots.
#2. If he continues to stay hot...it might be a good idea to not around with it and go ahead double team him.
IMO, he's not ready to handle a pro double team yet.
The Spurs need to take West away and turn Paul into a scorer(preferably with Bowen on him) to win this series.
duncan needs to guard him
Put Duncan on him, its the only way. His length MIGHT bother him.
Yeah everyone goes on about Udoka being too short, but it's not size that bothers West, it's people being physical with him. Give Ime some run. He certainly can't do any worse than Oberto playing turnstyle.
Maybe we should put Bonner on him. When Matt falls down, he might take out one of their players.
Or Duncan.
Couldn't hurt either way.
West poses a problem similar to Dirk.
Not as an effective shooter but still, a big man who can shoot.
And that give our big men problems.
We never did find that Dirk stopper did we???![]()
I'm telling you guys...double him. one on one if he stays that hot. Double him and force Paul to beat you by himself...
West is unprepared for that type of defensive attention.
We need to do him what we used to do to Amare. Let him get his and lock everyone else down.
It seems like he's been hot every time we've played them.
whott, you know who could have help us guarding a mobile bigman? yes you know.
P.S: Don't get angry I'm half kidding.![]()
I think he was just overly hot this game.. I wanted them to throw ian on him to put a good defender on him
He's just making jumpers there's not much you can do
Yeah, Scola would have locked West up like a bank vault.
He hasn't been as well defended as he was tonight the other big games he's had against us...
This was definitely a superstar performance on his part...Chris Paul , this guy was the show tonight.
Double his ass...don't wait for him to earn it.
If we double West, Tyson Chandler will be alley-ooping down the Spurs throat.
I think KT was doing a good job on him but he picked 2 quick fouls in the 3rd and West killed us in the 2nd half
The problem was before West even got the ball.
Oberto/Horry/Thomas were giving up too much ground plus letting him back down to the hole. Those three have to push him out further.
I would agree with this. Thomas initially did a decent job. KT's problem is that he always picks up at least 1 really-dumb-what-were-you-thinking fouls, and then another 1-2 BS reputation calls.
yeah wtf happened to IME anyway????????strange.
maybe POP was really scouting NO today.
Maybe Damon Stoudemire can stop him
Can we get Tiago Splitter out of Euroleague to guard David West?
I don't know what the people are talking about or even thinking putting Ime Udoka and David West in the same sentence...but I was definitely wondering where Ime was when Bonzi was on the court...he's tailor made to defend Bonzi and was effective against him all season.
I full expect Pop to make an adjustment. Expect to see Finley guarding him for the majority of Game 2.
