    The problem is, they don't need to go inside. Screens, ball fakes, Curry and Klay running around, etc. They get their shots (and get off their shots) so easily without needing to penetrate to find open shooters.

    The best paint / post defense doesn't mean all that much when you're trying to defend Curry and Klay.

    Memphis played GS twice in the last month. Once, they lost by 23. The other time, they lost by 4 but were down 27 going into the 4th before a nice comeback against the Warriors bench.

    Warriors had the 2nd most dunks this year. They're not just a jump shooting team. Also this narrative jump shooting can't win is bull****. Miami won their chips through role players getting hot from 3s. Spurs basically went nuclear with 3's and lay ups. Dirk won through jump shots. Jesus Barkley is just a salty loser since he never won crap.

    Whenever NO goes a possession without Brow touching the ball / Evans jacking it up:

    That Eric Gordon shot was risky. That was basically for the game. Had he missed it was done for sure.
