PAUL AIMS TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE IN GAME 4

“I’ve just got to be more aggressive,” Paul said. “I played 30-something minutes and didn’t shoot one free throw.”

Asked if Paul was being less aggressive to start Game 3, his backcourt mate Chauncey Billups said: “Maybe a little. I think we tried to establish Blake [Griffin] a lot early in the game, knowing they were going to go at [Zach Randolph]. So, we wanted to establish Blake and maybe get a foul or two.

“Maybe he was less aggressive trying to go to Blake. It was just a part of the game plan and it’s tough to get it back going when you’re not being aggressive.”

“It makes it easier for everybody when he’s aggressive,” Billups said. “And that doesn’t mean scoring or shooting that just means being aggressive, getting in there and drawing a double team and kicking [out].”

“When he’s aggressive we’re at our best and we’re going to make an effort to make him to be aggressive in games,” Billups added. “I think it just helps everybody out.”

Time to secure the series,a win here will almost definitely give us the series.
I hope Chris Paul stops having these occasional off games even though he should be allowed to since everybody (even Lebron) has a bad game every once in a while,Griffin needs to step up and take over when Paul isn't having the best of games and that's why I think he will be a much better player next season if he works really hard this summer.We can't be tired seeing as how we stayed in Memphis and didn't have to travel a lot (correct me if I'm wrong though)
All in all I think we get the win here 102-92 with Z-bo not living up to last game and Griffin going off for 30 this game,dunno why I just have a feeling we will come out with an easy W this game.




MKWest can I use your signature it's really nice

I don't mind bad shooting games, that happens, it's passive play that is the issue. Like Billups said, it isn't about his points, it's about his aggressiveness, it's about putting pressure on the opposition.
