This. Start Splitter and stop trying to play small to match up with GS. They are a better shooting team then we are.
Bonner/Neal would combine for 0 minutes.
Play big.
Curry/Thompson man don't rotate/don't help/stay with them until we get the ball.
Don't double scrubs.
PnR Bogut.

No doubling in the low block, Bogut and Landry they can get 10 or 15, stick to Curry and Thompson, make them drive into the lane and kick the ball. And hit shots.. I don't know what Pop was thinking when he said that they shot better than last game, the 3 pointers were atrocious in game 2 and out FT percentage sucked because Kawhi couldn't hit . if our 24% from 3 was 35% we win the game.
Been mulling this over but Its bases on the sample of game 2.
First half curry and Thompson go off. Look how explosive there offense was. Second half they made namely barnes, green, and jack beat us. Not as explosive. 2's are less than 3's....
A flaw in jacksons scheme allows pop to dictate how the warriors offense flows.
We cant let curry get his 50. Its just too explosive for Theyre offense. At least with them attacking the mismatch they have to grind it out.
Curry and Thompson threes or shooting in general is demoralizing. You can live with a contested two in this case.
Stay with your guy. Hit your shots. Don't play Bonner, please.
For the love of God, rough up Thompson and Curry. Bruce Bowen is rolling over in his grave. Shooters have to be bumped off their rhythm. Nobody has laid a finger on Thompson the whole series. Even if somebody mows him over on a three, at least he'll be thinking about something other than hitting the bottom of the net.
A Tom Thibs squad would never let a spot-up shooter do that. 85% of Thompson's points came on jump shots that were quite open. Make the kid hurt. But at least make the kid work, for crying out loud.
Start Splitter and Duncan, then go small with Kawhi at the 4 if one of them needs to rest.
No Bonner, Blair in the rotation at all, Neal with a very, very short leash (if he's not hitting or playing poor defense bench him).
Play PHYSICAL and with INTENSITY from the start right through to the end. No easy lay ups if they get to the hoop. Good clean hard fouls.
This game can't be played like H-O-R-S-E because they can outshoot the Spurs. It has to be played in the trenches. Spurs have to return to the BIG lineup and control pace and tempo. Work to get the best shot and move the ball side to side to get GSW's D chasing. It's strange but I though them losing David Lee would be so key to the Spurs advancing. He provided balance to their game by giving them a legit post presence. What makes this confounding is, if he was fully healthy and playing, those inside touches would lessen GSW's reliance on the 3 point line. They would take less 3 point shots. So, if GSW feels the game can be won outside in, then the team needs to be disciplined and chase those 2 shooters off the line and live with whatever shots Barnes and Green makes. Those guys combined won't be as effective as Curry & Thompson. Pop has to give up something and I think a slow it down, grind it out with Bigs game with 2nd break opps would give us Spurs fans a chance to see the Spurs team we expect.
That is how Denver got some wins, that is why the warriors started crying..
Bench Bonner for the whole series, he can play against memphis. Do not double, switch everything on D. Attack the rim from the start they will foul. They are mental midgets we've seen it again and again put their backs to the wall they will turn it over and fold. Then it becomes an avalanche and we can roll right into round 3.
Start the way we played in the second halves of both games.
