Cedric Maxwell says force Calderon to His Left

[Jammer]

Interesting things Celtics radio analyst Cedric Maxwell kept saying yesterday.

He said take away Jose Calderon's right hand, by forcing him to his left (overplaying the right), which greatly reduces his creative and scoring options since he is right hand dominant (with a weaker left hand).

Max said Rondo didn't do it, Eddie House was pretty successful at it in his limited minutes (2-9 FG day), and Tony Allen should have been able to do it, if Doc put Tony on Jose with those instructions.

Anyway, Maxwell said he thought that letting Jose get his way was part of the problem. And he thought the best way to stop that was take away his right hand, even though Tony would have been defending (should have been) defending Calderon late in the game.

Nothing against Rondo cause I think he will be and is close to being one of the best Defensive Pg's in the Lg but with Calderon goin to his left really isnt that big of a problem for him....good players can adjust, they all have bad games once in a while but they adjust according to what the Defense is throwing at them. Great game by the way...havent watched all Bostons games this year but I was impressed with the intensity on both sides of the court with both teams, although I wouldnt want to meet u guys in the play-offs lol
