    No.

    Only because of a defensive switch.

    individual matchups don't matter since we switch everything.

    it comes down to our game plan and execution vs theirs.

    So easy a cave man could do it. Rest harden on iggy. Switch so curry has to hold curry. Attack. Simpl3 I think. I'm being 100 percent serious. We have answers for them

    I could live with that. Plus there’s always a chance one of the Rockets role players blow up

    Nah bruh Clint won't be able to keep up with Durant, IMO Durant's defensive rotation will be pj, luc and ariza depending on the lineup.

    Warriors death lineup matchups.

    CP3 on Curry
    Harden on Iggy
    Tucker on Klay
    Ariza on Durant
    Capela on Green

    I think Ariza’s length might bother Durant more than Tucker’s strength. Durant will likely be able to just shoot over Tucker easily. I can see PJ locking down on Klay keeping him in check and getting under his skin. Taking away Klay would be a huge win. Having Luc off the bench to slow Durant is a nice luxury as well. Should maybe look into starting Luc and bringing Ariza or Tucker off bench depending on how things go.

    I really think Capela will be the X factor. If he can play like he has and dominate the paint and keep Donkey from offensive boards/ second chance opportunities we should have a good shot. If Draymond beats us by hitting 3’s so be it but that’s not his strength and at least Clint can get out there and close if he really needs to.

    We don't play defense that way. We switch so any guy can be on any other guy. Putting Clint on Durant may not mean anything because of switching.

    Durant is just going to be tough.

    It will happen occasionally based on rotations, but this will not be a game plan.
