Addition by subtraction....
Watching the Warriors and it's almost like they are leagues above their compe ion and at the flick of a switch or Currys wrist they can turn it on and pull away from any team late in games.
But just looking at the team it's still hard to figure out what makes them this great, Curry? Green? Coaching? A roster of complimentary pieces? It's really quite impressive tbh nothing on their roster stands out like many of the all time great teams that they have become.

They're an athletic and versatile team, but Curry being able to throw up a good shot anywhere inside of 30 feet is what is making them a nightmare. How do you guard that?
The Amare treatment prolly needs to be put into effect. Let Curry go for 60 and shut everyone else down. As long as you make him work on the other end he'll wear down and start missing.
Problem is Curry could actually go for 60 running the Amare defense.
Have you seen them play when Curry is on the bench?
Harrison Barnes has also been great for them. At least two games this season late in the 4th he has put the team on his back
That's fine if you limit everyone else to 30-40 points. They rely so much on the attention Curry receives that if he's too worn down their offense becomes very containable. Much easier said than done tho.
Iggy, Green, Klay, and Bogut all actually want to play defense... that's rare. It'll be interesting to see their record this year if Curry misses some games with injuries... I think some people assume they'd start losing, but I think they'd still be a pretty good team.
He could easily drop 80 (20 a quarter) if teams play him soft
Trap the motha a in a halfcourt set & dare Draymond to launch 3s or hack Bogut/Ezeli/Iggy if he has the ball on a fastbreak, tbh
LoL @ Curry being 1-4 from the FT line, hack-a-Curry?
If Porker plays D like he has most of the year so far, he could force him into some difficult looks. Turning Draymond into a volume shooter is pretty difficult to do and he's a great passer as well, so he's likely to find some teammates by passing out of the block/high post.He could easily drop 80 (20 a quarter) if teams play him soft
The Cavs have the team to do it, if healthy. The Warriors had everything go their way last season. The Cavs gave them trouble with a depleted team. They will beat them if they are healthy this time around. , I don't even see the Warriors winning the west if they have to face the Spurs.
Talent and good coaching. Copying a proven system helps, too.
They're not that good.
Missed a few against Toronto too, he's slipping.
Leave him open & stay on the other guy while trapping Curry. Rotate when he tries to drive (no need to trap Curry when he doesn't have the ball) & meet him at the rim. Basically give him every shot he want outside of the restricted area. The Cavs essentially turned Iggy (a guy who sometime doesn't take shot for an ENTIRE game) in a volume shooter, so it's doable.
Should move back ala Van Exel
iggy averaged like 12 shots a game
The pace was slow & he didn't start until Gm 4. He also got hacked a bunch of times in Gm 5.
Correct me if I'm wrong but have they face the top teams in the west yet? They haven't gone against the Spurs or Thunder yet.
Or the cavs..etc..
Warriors have gotten lucky on a few games so they should have loss already.
The Clippers(2X) are the only legit team they have faced from the West & the Raptors (2X) from the East. They basically could have easily lost all 4 games.
force green to shoot
play mind games with klay that his better then curry (hopefully he chucks or doesnt defer)
lock down curry...
