adjustments for Game 3

Well, now we know curry and/or thompson can beat us. Can thompson shoot like that again? We'll find out tomorrow but logic would say, at this point, make someone else beat you who isnt curry or thompson. This is the same matchup dallas had to go through as a number one seed against a different gsw team, they had no use for their 5 so nowitzki became their 5. In the end speed did them in, they couldnt compete. GSW would always be fast enough to attract help defense, which left someone wide open. GSW would get beat in the next round, forgot who the team was (maybe utah?), but that team was able to match their speed, and by doing that there weren't as many perimeter players left open for the uncontested shot.

Not sure what you could do defensively since you cant teach speed. They could go zone but then rebounding would suffer, and this team is not good at playing zone anyways.

also, we need to be leading at the half, not trailing. In order to establish an out-of -the -gates mentality manu might have to start. This will give us 2 ball handlers, if parker keeps running into walls then he can hand off to manu to run some plays. Cant expend any energy just to try and even up a game.

:pop: hope they miss shots
:pop: hope ours go in
:pop: more neal
:pop: smallball working? Bonner at 4

The only good small lineup is TP/Green/Manu/Kawhi/TD(too bad we don't have a tough 6'8 combo Foward).
