That Curry trap

It worked. I am sure we will be seeing more of this .

 

Agree. Can't do it all the time since the element of surprise is probably the most important factor behind doing it, but would love to see McHale randomly sprinkle it in earlier in the game.

 

A thing of beauty.

 

It's not repeatable at a high rate, but it's very effective when it's unexpected.

 

media: so r u gonna run the trap earlier in the game next time?

mchale: that, you'll have to find out in next game.

haha.

 

Curry has never done well when teams trap him but against GS it's risky because everyone can shoot

 

Guys, trap him harder

Clap clap clap

 

Did they ask him that?

 

Switching on those picks is the worst case scenario. Yet we do it over and over again. it's the actually stupid that we continue to do it after seeing it doesn't work, it never did.
Trap the ball!!!!

 

yes. that was the last question of the press conf.

 

He's so small he's not like James were he can get trapped and jump in the air and Fire a bullet pass across court to the open shooter. Steph is no athlete he's got great handles and even better head fakes. If you can successfully trap him he has to float a pass in the air either we steal it or it gives us plenty of time to recover. This is going to be a must on the defensive side of the ball, we have the length we have the speed, now we have to excute.

 

LOL! Like he'd answer that. Reporters can be so dumb.

 

Maybe he asked for entertainment too.

At minimum, it was good a observation.

 

You have to switch, or else you'll leave him open long enough for him to take a clear shot. The problem is after the switch, and he goes ISO (especially on TJ), you have to send a double from somewhere so he'll get give up the ball. Or if they don't want to double, TJ has to simply let him drive pass him and hope someone helps him inside.

 

And when he's in the trap, do the subtle booty hole poke. That'll get him rattled and cough up the ball... or not ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

 

can someone post it? haha

 

Somebody mentioned this before the series even started:

Trapping comes and trapping goes, baby. Just gotta go out there and play.

 

Our traps in the first quarter and a half of game 1 I felt were largely responsible for our large early lead. We forced quite a few turnovers and kept their offense out of rhythm until Livingston was able to get things going. I assumed we stopped doing it that game because we didn't have Dwight to recover when people were left out of defensive position. I hope we now do this more often because it continues to be effective against them.
