    It's not necessary about Durant shoots 2s vs. Curry 3s, it's about how they scored. GSW has been running their motion offense for a few years now, most of their scores come out of the motion, except Durant's, who scores majority of his points from ISO. He has been with them for three years now, but he is still always the odd man out there. It's just shows you how hard it is to change your habit.

    NO!

    Make him work hard for everything. Get physical with him and attack him like crazy on defense.

    Let KD iso the hell out of everything so other guys hopefully don’t find their rhythm.

    this a high scoring Steph game raises GS' ceiling higher than the Rockets can ever hope to reach.

    Steph been getting more credit for a hypothetical 40 point game than James got for an actual 40 point game with 5 points in the final minute of overtime.

    Exactly what I’ve been saying since Game 1. Durant doesn’t take efficient shots and it’s annoying as hell when it works out for them. Do not let Klay and Curry go nuts from three.

    Nope. I say we hold him under 20 and foul him out early in the 4th.

    Cp3 and Rivers are the best Curry lockdown defenders. It's not a fluke.

    Let’s watch for a Steph Curry scoring outburst here in the 3rd. We’ve got to stay on him tight. I just feel it coming.
