Worriers on an average night would demolish OKC like they did in the 1st half of their first meeting at the Oracle.
Draymond was barely seeing wide open lanes because OKC was switching all the time. OKC could've finished that game if they didn't commit dumb turnovers and Durant fouling out. I'm pretty sure POP has taken notes and believe me, the Spurs will dare Curry to go off 60 a game in seven-game series. :lol

Isn't that the refs job?

Anything to keep the splash boys from going crazy on us.
I've been saying this for some time, I hope Pop and the other teams are holding this strategy to the playoffs
Re: We can dream, but if Pop/Tim/Kiwi/Manu and co. solve Curry/Warriors...
Spurs will have to slow the game down and do alot of passing to find an open shot. The minute it turns into kawhi or lm trying to take over and taking early contested shots we are done. The key to the series is stealing one at golden state in the first two games. Curry is going to nail his 10 3's every game. We have to take the best shot by moving the ball, we have alot of weapons also
Re: We can dream, but if Pop/Tim/Kiwi/Manu and co. solve Curry/Warriors...
Also we need Tony Romo to attend a Golden State game and root for Golden State
Re: We can dream, but if Pop/Tim/Kiwi/Manu and co. solve Curry/Warriors...
It may sound simple, but the only way is too is to punish their small ball. You must win the rebound battle by a large margin to have a shot, and even then it will still be close. Hypothetically, you should win the rebound against the small ball. They kinda give up on that. That is their weakness. Cut down on turnovers as well. This is the hardest, because their hands are hacking all over the place, and they just eat you alive when you do turn it over.
As for defensive strategies? I am not sure how to defend Curry. To defend him 40 ft from the rim is just nuts. But I feel you kinda need to relax a bit on him. What I mean is, stop reacting so much. Off ball, he fake cuts to the rim hard, then runs behind the ball handler (Green) for a hand off three pointer. That is the problem, defenders are just trying to smother him and they react to his movements so much. You kinda need to let him cut and use the towers to challenge the shot on the cut. I hope that makes sense.

you make your own luck in sports and in life
when a team wins 67 and then an NBA championship in dominant fashion and then will beat the Bulls 72-win record and then win another championship, you cant call that blind luck lmao
