[Indian guy]

Chris Paul is just too good. I regret not watching more NO games during the regular season.

Paul beating the buzzer!!!

[Dasher]

Is Avery at fault for Dirk not stopping the ball on the Paul buzzer beater?

[Mewwem22]

CP3 is destroying the Mavs just like Baron Davis did last year.

He didn't teach them how to run fast enough

[Silverbullit]

Hornets shot >70% in first quarter

[FabCasablancas]

Someone needs to tell Avery that great.. or even good... offense is a form of defense..

I know what you mean, I just can't get over this guy. He doesn't fear the Mavs at all.

I love D Fish, but I sure wouldn't mind having him on the Lakers.

[death valley40]

Chris Paul! I'm not worthy

wasnt Kidd brought in for this?

[yobore]

They need to just get Paul a bigger defender like George or Howard and rotate in when he drives. Traps are not working it's basically 5 on 4. Paul isn't going to continue to hit all his shots but he is going to find the open man every time. Make him do the scoring.

Yes, because its Avery's fault his team is not rotating quickly enough or at all... its Avery's fault that Dirk misses two free throws and Kidd misses an open 10 footer.... Its Avery's fault their 7 foot forward cannot guard anyone (West abusing him).

Guys, the Mavs are getting out played right now... not sure why you cannot see that. No coach in the world could change that.

Its frustrating because the Mavs don't seem to have playoff energy and intensity right now.

thats Averys job to teach the rotations. He is supposed to be a defensive guy and its gotten worse every year he has been here. These are the players he wanted. This is the team he wanted. He is the one that calls for the doubles, traps etc. Dude is a control freak but he is like the cheapo remote control cars that only turn one way in circles. As for intensity, its also the coaches job to get the team prepared and up for the game. Clearly he did not and hasnt done it for some time now.

to top it off the offense under him has become one of the most predictable and boring ones in the NBA even though he has multiple guys who can fill it up.
