    When you figure out how to get refs to stop it we should then focus on moving screens because all of them are clear as day moving screens. All of them and I think they got callef once tonight.

    Put Nene in the game and make him perform a ju jitsu move on him, he would get ejected but who cares at this point.

    I been saying this all series, have to take Capela out and start Ryan.. put him in the 3pt. Corner so Green can stand on left side of paint messing with Hardens drives

    Harden needs to make the correct read.

    (That read is the floater)

    work on the lob I guess, but Green defends that pretty well too

    They have been VERY aware in taking out Capela's airspace, which essentially makes CC completely useless at this point. He's also not able to keep up with Curry, Klay, and Durant as well as he did in the Utah series.

    The options against Green as the secondary defender is to either pull up for the midrange, float it, or play Ryno.

    I prefer the first two.

    I agree. He doesn't have to worry about Capela standing on the 3 point line.

    Another option is to have Capela force Green out of the paint by getting inside position and sealing the b*stard off. At least make him wrestle his way into the paint. Then push him out the other side and seal him off there.

    CC doesn't have that kind of lower body strength. Donkeys, on the other hand, are beasts of burden.

    i commented on this after game 1, they never call anything on him and he's allowed to just stand in the paint at his own leisure

    Floaters or mid range by ball handler, if not then the lob to Capela or cut from Tucker/Ariza/Green.

    Have you seen Luc play? He's more useless than CC.
