Our defensive 1-3 (along with Miami's) might be among the best the NBA has seen in a long time. If Parker manages to get healthy for the Memphis series (assuming the series finish the way they are now), I could see us holding the Grizzlies to ~80 points in a couple of games. Parker Leonard and Green have all established themselves as anywhere from great to elite defenders. Green is pretty new to this fold but his play this series against Curry is absolutely undeniable. I've never seen him play so athletically and use his length on both ends of the court to get shots off/dunk/deny easy opportunities. Great to see.
If it does go down with Memphis vs SA for the WCF, it's going to be a gutter war. Grind City hasn't seen a team yet that can stand up and punch their backcourt in the mouth like the Spurs are capable of doing. Conley is NOT going to average 25ppg against us.
