Regardless of what happens, we have to be able to it up high scoring points. GSW already was shooting above 50 % and we still were competitive with them.
I prefer Durant go nuts rather than Curry and/or Klay. Those guys get the bulk of their points from threes. Durant is very effective there also but seems to prefer to shoot from 10-19 feet out.
I second this....I think we should continue to just rebound better, and not let them get those stunt layups so easily this game....play how we are playing....Rockets will tie it up 2-2.
Let Durant get his and we be ok. Durant might be scoring alot of points but his points are not that effecient...if you let klay or Curry go off. They will be scoring 50% for sure. And we all know when it comes down to getting the win, Durant choke more than anyone in the league.
Agree, and Gordon can really clamp down on Klay! Just make Curry work really hard for his shots and make him a driver.
Single coverage on Curry while switching on screens and play physical without fouling (keep him away from easy “free” throws). Make him work on the defensive end with forcing switches and keep attacking him, forcing him to foul. The more Curry works on defense, the more limited he becomes with foul trouble and energy consumption. Hammer his left hand and cross his ankles over like Iverson, but keep him below 20 pts. Same with Klay, keep below 20.
Yeah, we are due. BUT what if Austin Rivers says "f-ck you" to Curry's inevitable 40 pt night and clamps down and holds him to another pedestrian game again?? That would be delicious.. Austin Rivers really loves to play against Curry. He must like building his resume for those big family light skinned dinners since he has no rings.
this has been our defensive strategy this whole season anyways...We are guarding the 3, giving up the 2.
I hope Austin freaking rivers keeps bothering him. But yeah, he is due for a big game before the series is over. He hasn't spent this many times without 5 triples for like a year or something like that.
