My strategy for game 6 to help with game 7 if needed.

    Since it looks very likely CP3 is going to miss game 6 here is what I think Dantoni should do.

    He has been on a short 7 man rotation, which isn't a bad thing to do but since the rest of the team has around equal skill level (Luc, JJ, Nene, Ryno) I would use them all instead of a 7 man rotation. I would have all these guys play as hard as they possibly can and run the Warriors ragged. Up the energy up the tempo, try to not play our starters heavy minutes and the minutes they do play for a long stretch should be in the 4th quarter

    Use this game to use our bench to run them to the ground. It might work to help win game 6 and if not it will have a huge effect on the Warriors in game 7.

    Any thoughts?

    It sounds good if it works out like you describe and not us down by 27 at the half.

    This could work with the Cavs and boston but not the warriors. The margin of error with the warriors is very slim. Every mismatch is exploited to perfection. Cant afford to put guys out there that isnt ready to defend or shoot. They will be exploited. Dantoni might use the same strategy on game 4. play the starters heavy minutes put GG to the tired klay or curry in the fourth. Gg is not very good defensive player but if he is fresh enough he can definitely guard a tired curry in the fourth.

    I still don't understand why most of ClutchFans seems to be conceding Game 6 and hoping we can pull off a miracle in Game 7.

    My Game 6 game plan: Neck on the throat, apply pressure. Watch these arrogant weasels wilt like the physicality-avoiding wimps they are.

    My Game 7 game plan: Not needed. See above.

    My strategy:

    Punch them in the mouth the first quarter, stay close through the 4th, D them up, watch the physical and mental pressure destroy them, and take it.
