    He's got the physical tools to be our best option against Curry but it is unlikely that he knows the defensive rotations and there isn't a clear role for him on offense. It's probably a net negative to put him out there.

    If we are getting trashed, sure try it. But I don't think we should expect much from it.

    Curry would ruin Johnson for the rest of his career.

    Who knew the Rockets had Kawhi Leonard stashed on the bench? :grin::rolleyes:

    The Tony-Parker-J.J.-Barea-Chris-Paul-Stephen-Curry-ultimate-Point-Guard-Stopper

    NICK JOHNSON!

    I agree. Every round with this? Really?

    If Nick Johnson could stop anyone, he'd be playing already. We need Bev back in the worst way for defending curry with a PG. Otherwise I think we might run out:

    Harden
    Brewer
    Ariza
    Jones/Smith
    Howard

    Throw Harden on Barnes, Brew on Thompson, Ariza on Curry, etc.

    This scrub doesn't even belong in the NBA. He sucked at Zona too.

    Hater.

    He was a great Cat, just a poor closer. He's not ready to be THE guy, and when that team needed him the most he couldn't deliver. If he works on his attitude and his shot he will thrive in the NBA.

    Honestly I was going to say we just gotta get in his head, make him uncomfortable like Mo Williams once did.

    No new introductions to playing minutes unless Curry is going bananas. We must make Curry play defense against Jason Terry by running high PnR and letting D12 murder him. This will take a lot of energy out of Curry.

    If he doesn't hit that GW layup against the Twolves we wouldn't be the 2 seed
