My main fear is Porker trying to duel w/ Curry or Manu trying to play hero-ball. Pop needs to have a short leash on those two.:pop:

This doesn't really work though because he'll either back up further or just side step it. He's done both before plenty of times.

This might sound scary to people, but there is very little wrong with letting Steph get off 30-plus--foot step-backs. Those are back-breakers when done at the right time, but they aren't something you can do for a whole game. Less than 10 percent of his threes come from beyond 28 feet. His efficiency would plummet if that number rose to like 40 or 50 percent.

On the other hand, I think he will be fine playing the 4 while guarding Draymond since he can rebound & protect the rim.
Not s saying he's a quick guy, but I have to correct you there. The guy mcbuckets burned was Manu.

Re: Slomo might be the key in beating the Dubs...
If the gameplan is to have Curry go off, why not just leave Parker in there? Fat head literally offers nothing, any where, all the time.
Vending Machine head Per 36:
10.5ppg, 6.8rpg, 3.4apg, 1.9TO, 0.3 3PM
Those are D-League bench warmer numbers.

First, there were a lot of points Steph scored that the Spurs could prevent by just not turning ball over or losing defensive integrity in loose-ball situations. Second, Kawhi was on Curry for who of his scores, and Green was on him for none of them. So Steph was lighting up guys who won't see real minutes on him. Whoopty-doo. You are correct that the Warriors didn't run PnRs against the Spurs, and I guess it was Kerr not wanting to give Pop a chance to deal with it. But Pop play NO defensive scheme at all. None. Curry may well averaged under 25 in a match-up with the Spurs in the post-season. Hell, he might even have games under 20.
The reality is that we played so poorly, what with our 25 TO and all, that they really didn't need to show us their full arsenal either. Kerr could stay CIA Kerr too. We pretty much beat ourselves. Pop was hoping Simmons had an answer for Curry, he did make Curry work, but he still got his. The point is Curry will still get his, but he also got so many easy ones and so did everyone else. They really killed us with backdoor cuts and exploiting mismatches when guys got doubled up. That was it, everything else we did to ourselves.
Our weakness is their strength. Patty and Tony can't guard Curry or Livingston. They didn't even need the PnR.
Even RC admitted this is a concern and one of the reasons they got A.Miller. Now whether Pop plans to use Miller at all I don't know. But he might use Slowmo, bc he's continued to play a very specific role.

The point of letting curry get his while staying home the others is to eliminate all the confusion, scrabbling which leads to back doors and demoralized your D. It's as much psychological warfare with GSW as physical.
Yes, let curry get 50, if he shoots and scores, so be it. Him shooting is a psychological win for you team because he's essentially doing what you're allowing / wanting him to do, even if he scores because you'll be keeping everyone else under control.
The human brain will not let a player shoot 50 times a game for an entire series. At some point he will start forcing passes to his teammates trying to get them involved, and we've already seen Raymond throw his hissy fits.
Sure, he can score alot of points, but mentally it will start taking its toll on the GSW. And this is a strategy only the spurs would we disciplined enough to pull off. If he can take down the spurs D I'm a playoffs series, then he is the hardest mo fo on the planet. I don't think he

Re: Slomo might be the key in beating the Dubs...
The idea here is funneling Curry to Kawhi/ Green then letting KA switch to the screener who is usually Draymond. I think KA can cover Dray. Slomo fully covering Curry is the last thing we want. Although if that happens, KA's length can bother Curry to some extent, unlike Parker, mills who are faster but gets demolished on guarding their P nd Rs

Exactly. Okc also employed the strategy I stated. If not for Durant fouling out, they couldve won the game
