New Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul made the playoffs three times in his six seasons as a New Orleans Hornet, never winning fewer than 37 games or more than 56.
Things changed offensively each year, Paul recalled -- sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. But the other side of the ball didn't waver.
The lone constant in the three seasons that featured playoff runs: defense.
"The thing about those teams was always our defensive intensity," Paul said Sunday, after the Clippers' 93-88 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. "Even last year. It's all about defense, and that's the thing that we've been preaching to each other day in and day out."
According to his new teammates, Paul's been doing a lot of that preaching.
