Comments on: Why Was Jannero Pargo Taking All the Late Shots? http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/jannero-pargo-hornets-spurs/1571 Brown Bag it, Baby Sat, 21 Nov 2009 19:51:17 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Gene http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/jannero-pargo-hornets-spurs/1571/comment-page-1#comment-146775 Gene Tue, 20 May 2008 16:11:05 +0000 http://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/jannero-pargo-hornets-spurs/#comment-146775 I agree with you that, from the Hornets' standpoint, Pargo shouldn't have been taking the shots. However, I think you need to give credit to Greg Popovich and the Spurs, because they doubled Paul and overplayed on West to make sure that Pargo or Stoyo were the ones who took the shots. Chris Paul is great, but, like Steve Nash, he can be taken out of his game by a double team of good defenders. Only super athletes like Kobe and LeBron can do their thing against that type of defense, and even they can't do it all of the time.
