Does Kawhi guard Paul? 

Post#1 » by Nolan » Fri Apr 17, 2015 3:55 pm

It's going to be interesting to see how Pop's uses our best defensive weapon against the Clippers. They really don't have a swingman that worries me too much (Danny can take care of Reddick/Crawford) and i'm not exactly comfortable with Tony guarding Paul so to the only logical move is too put Kawhi on him.

What do you guys think?

There is an interview from today with Tony and he says he will start on CP3, but after the first pick n' roll he will switch off of him.

Really? Is this even a question?

Kawhi likely won't be guarding Paul for 48 minutes. Understandably, you'd want Parker or Green to start off on him because you want to avoid Kawhi getting into foul trouble early. During the most crucial parts of the game, Kawhi will be put on him. We've always done this to just about every star PG this season. Parker and Green starts off on the PGs with Kawhi sprinkled in sometimes. 4th quarter, Kawhi is on him.
