butler is a foul baiter. Ime has to drill these guys to not bit on fakes and keep their arms straight up
I could not disagree with you more. Playoff Butler is a killer on offense and you severely underestimate his smarts on defense. If your comment on Fred is true, Rockets are dead. How is a guy averaging 14 ppg at 38%/35% gonna average 18 efficiently against a top 2-3 NBA defense (since Butler)?
The Worriers also dropped some cringey and head scratching games like the one in which Harrison Barnes scored the last bucket. Why they had to go thru the Play In.
Jabari is my pick. GSW will focus on Alpi and Jalen, and they will take away their offense somewhat. We need Jabari to be the release valve and use his mid range and 3's to keep the scoreboard moving. He's our only switchable big, and we need him to try and contain the GSW's screening.
did you not watch last nights game? Warriors perimeter defense is Ass. They traded away a better defender in Wiggins for old Butler. Butler is not the defender you think he is anymore
Warriors will take away #1 and #2 scoring options Jalen/Sengun Jalen will need to be a decoy of drawing defenders and passing. Assists will be there if open players make their shots. Warriors will protect the ball and turnover the ball less. Resulting in more half court play as Warriors send more men back instead of going for offensive rebounds. Offensive rebounding and second chance shots will highly depend on Steven Adams playing. If @Hemingway is correct and the Warriors play Hack-a-Adams.....we may be looking at 4-1 Gentleman's sweep by the Warriors. Holiday and Jeff Green might be keys to creating spacing....joining Bari and Dillion.
Freddy V's management of smart possessions, making timely 3s and letting Jalen/others be scoring threats is what I'm looking for. We need FVV to be big. I also agree that Unc and Holiday are big pieces against the Warriors. Rockets in 6...err...7.
Yes. FVV will be key. If he is hitting 3’s we really have a chance. He should never initiate the offense in the first 3 quarters of any game. If we have a lead down the stretch then maybe. Adams can be a factor keeping us close until about 1/2 way through the 4th. Then they will foul him intentionally. Ass*ole Kerr is a really good coach. He will take every advantage he can get.
Who knew we had so many X factors @Os Trigonum. Severo being the halftime show would be one of my X factors.
I totally agree His shot can’t go off the rails as it has in several games and his on ball defense, team defense and veteran leadership has to show up
