    Until Curry sinks behind a screen and we're left with either Anderson fighting in vain to get through the screen or switching a big onto Steph.

    Yeah, no. Kyle is one of our slowest players with regard to lateral movement. The Warriors would love to see Curry's quick release tried to get covered by that. It would be terrible.

    DG is our only hope at slowing down Curry imo. A little Kawhi every now and then would also be good.

    Slomo guarding Curry then putting Kawhi on Draymond will let them switch on p nd rs or Slomo's length can bother Curry's shot and this will force the Dubs to rely on Draymond taking it to the hole for a 2, effectively disrupting their 3 point advantage. I think this is why Slomo is getting so much burn lately. Hope we will see a glimpse of this strategy on Sat. Curry is deceptively quick though so I hope Kyle can keep up. Fighting an anomaly with another anomaly tbh... light skinned vs light skinned , Curry vs Evil Curry, a guy who lives to shoot vs a guy who wont shoot.. I think this will be the biggest story in this year's playoffs
    Slomo length and all, can't guard Curry. We do need a person who can play point and guard Barnes so Kawhi and Green can guard Curry and Thompson.

    I'm a big Anderson fan and I think kyle
    can do a great job of slowing Curry. His head is big
    enough to block Currys line of sight and his arms long enough to disrupt passing lanes.

    Wow. That is the most ridiculous idea ever. Kyle shouldn't be on the team! Let alone guard curry. Again, How My knicks Are Going to win thread got scratched and not this is beyond me. Please light up the candles and pray Kyle doesn't play a second.

    I just don't see it, tbh. Hope you're right, but I believe that Kayle's length would be overcome by Curry's speed and quick release. I just don't see anyone on the Spurs' team actually being effective against Curry. If we can stop everyone else on the GS team we can win. But I don't want our guys getting in foul trouble trying to stop a guy by reaching in.
    Curry will drive right past him. Curry is one of the best dribblers, and his outside shot makes you guard him so far out that he'll outquick his opponent and then score at the rim or with his elite midrange game. If a 3 guards him, he must be quick enough to recover. I don't think Kyle is.

    Maybe slomo will do us a solid and pull an Horry on Steph.

    The way Curry takes his jump shot, it isn't at the peak of the jump. So probably a player with Anderson's wingspan may have a good chance at altering that kind of shot.

    I seriously doubt that Parker or Mills have any chance at bother Curry. Now an oversized guard like Anderson at 6'9" and 7'2" wingspan should at least be able to chase him out of the 3 point line. Let Curry beat you with mid range jumpers or layups.

    Until he stops hesitating on open shots, then he hurts the flow. Depending on how we are playing. If we're playing fast and pushing the pace, Pop will bench him if he doesn't take open shots.

    By the way this is not about one guy, dealing with GSW is a team effort. I just pointed out that Kyle allows you to use defensive schemes and switches that you can't with others, if the thought of Kyle on Curry scares you, wait until you see Curry guarded by Diaw, that should be the terrifying thought.

    Let curry go off. Just don't let him scrabble the entire defense while finding open guys because that's when they become the juggernaut. D him up, show help but stay home, and let him try to score 70. He can't carry that load for an entire series.

    Kyle needs to work on his passing off the dribble. The dude is supposed to be a point forward but all his drives are totally telegraphed and selfish.

    Also, rough up curry every chance you get, but nobody in today's league will do that.

    I think we will be switching everything with Slowmo, not fighting screens. The point of having him is precisely to switch.
    So.... essentially you have Duncan or LMA guarding Steph every possession? That's the solution?

    No. I have been looking at what Pop is doing against small ball, and I have noticed two things, Slowmo is a big part if our team defense against small ball, Pop has lost total faith that Dias can handle those kind of matches and we h ave the record we hAve with slowmo playing a lot of small ball teams. Then I noticed against this kind of team we switch a lot. Kyle switches onto PG all the time when he plays. Again, Just said this is not Bout one guy, but w h at defensive schemes he allows you to use. Pop has also stayed big at times and let LMA guard and be guarded by a SF, in those cases they stay more traditional and don't switch everything. Both strategies have had mixed results, we have won with both and RS being a time to experiment it was right for Pop to try different things.

    Last time we met Warriors we didn't have Timmy. We also hadn't used Kyle in January for so much small ball bc he really got chances after Timmy was injured. It's possible we see different schemes and Pop gives Currydifferent options.

    My view though is that nobody is going to be navigating their screens the way they are being reffed. You will have to switch a lot whether you want to or not.

    He'd be a great option against Livingstone. Not sure about this curry idea.

    I said earlier in the year that a lineup of Aldridge, Leonard, Anderson, Green and Ginobili is a team that can defend the perimeter can switch without losing length and all have great hands. This athletic, small lineup would have the shortest player at 6'5" and wingspan average of almost 7 ft. Warriors small lineup has Draymond or Livingston as its tallest player of 6'8"? None of which are great low post players.

    do you even watch basketball? There is a reason pop doesn't do no PG lineups.
