    The Cavs strategy was to abuse Curry. Rockets are doing that.

    Cavs are nowhere near the Rockets level

    Their strategy was ISO Lebron to create shots for Irving and Love

    In 15/16 Curry had an injured ankle going into the playoffs (or during the playoffs). Cleveland could
    isolate Curry because LeBron Cavs were shooting about 41% from 3 going into the NBA finals.

    This is why I changed from Rockets in 7 (before the series) to Rockets in 5 or 6. Curry doesn’t look 100%
    in the first 2 games of this series. He claims after game 2 that he is, but I think Curry is closer to 75% healthy.

    Rockets are bumping him and pushing him around every play they can. Plus Curry flops every chance he can.

    LeBron tried posting up Curry many times. Rockets currently don’t need to post him up (since he is about 75%
    healthy, imho). If Durant/West/Livingston Post Up.....Rockets can send help early. Since Dray/Iggy are shooting
    0% from 3 for the series. Rockets rotating and smart defense has something to do with that.

    We can learn something from them if they beat the Celtics.

    we built our whole team around that strategy. why do you think we got paul and primarily use a 2-man iso offense that attacks curry?

    Durant blew a 3-1 lead to the same Warriors that blew a 3-1 lead to Cavs that year.

    They need to learn how to get Green suspended, which is how the Cavs beat the Warriors.
