Re: Dubbies had more trouble with a worse team
To beat GS, I believe teams have to:
1. Limit turnovers / protect the ball
2. Out-rebound them (to limit GS shot attempts) and slow down the pace of the game.
3. Play disciplined basketball & maximize opportunities (This is a GS weakness. They will give you the ball back because they like to showboat / play loose with their passes.) This means making good passes and limiting alley-oop attempts to "sure-things".
4. Play a half-court game (as opposed to trying to score too fast in transition).
The last Spurs / Warriors game was strange. They gave the DUBS so many easy layups it was disgusting. I'd rather GS take lower percentage 3 point attempts with defenders in the vicinity.

I don't see how you beat them without outscoring them tbh

Force them to forfeit by framing them for PEDs?

Agreed. If they beat us with making contested 3s, then fine. Whatever
