Oh and send "hit man" Baynes to make a hard peak on Curry, not to hurt but wobble him a little bit.
Look for Timmy on the post, dishing to open 3's when double team. A lot of looks for our shooters or Timmy is going to have a career high on scoring. Man-up on D. Don't see us needing to double-team anybody. Try to close on Curry however hard that may seem, but try not to give him open looks. If healthy, I'd have Diaw/Splitter or even Baynes pound on their 4 where they're a little thin, ready to dish to cutters. Tmac if played can post their smaller guards. Spurs on 4. Try to close early to rest for big match-up with Griz.

no TP will get destroyed by Elian GOnzales
Pop will not have it
I see Green having a pivotal role in this series. Not only is his 3-point shooting going to be key, but his defense is vital as well, defending players like Jack/Curry/Thompson the majority of the game.
OK. No argument.
I thought you were talking about slow paced Laker series vs fast paced Warriors/Nuggets series.
No, put him on Thompson. We know what Curry brings to the table and what to expect from him. Guy can shoot 3's in traffic. You don't want to have Thompson as an extra option for their offense. Dude can ball. "eliminate" him and we'll have one less player to worry about. Kawhi is perfect for that. They match up well. I wouldn't mind seeing Manu defending Curry for some stretches. When in shape, Manu is known for staying close to his man. As long as Curry is the one with the ball in his hands he could do work on him. Green, although he might be a step slow sometimes can disturb him with those long arms of his. So i say TP/Manu/Green as possible defenders. Joseph could actually be a real asset here as he's a strong guy who can be very disruptive, so he would match up really well with Jack.

1. Don't have a black coach.
2. Series sweep.
Pffttt lol yeah sure they are.
Winning will be all about the backcourt matchups. If Parker can play Curry to a draw, GS will be forced to rely on extreme unknowns vs massive experience. Even Curry's experience leaves much to be desired but he has the ability to take home a W single handedly.
No need for this thread.
Unknown to many of us is the fact we are playing Memphis.
Agree. Thompson knows this game. He does everything well. With a little more size and speed he would be their best player. Can't see them putting Curry on Parker once we start those picks. If Curry is covering Green, Green better hit some shots. A stated before, we got to make him move laterally a whole lot, start and stop a whole lot. If his ankle is really bad, this will kill it.
The Spurs have Tim Duncan and HCA:

That's because Denver's "shooters" outside of Lawson (who already had enough of a burden on him) consisted of Corey Brewer (<30% year/career), Iggy (~32%) and Chandler (~33% career) who all have comparable percentages to our worst perimeter shooter outside of the non-Bonner bigs, Parker. Though Parker's looks are typically wide open. Shooting the Spurs' 37.6% vs. Denver's 31.1% from three equates to nearly a 10% difference in true shooting percentage. Combine that with Denver's awful foul shooting, and Golden State will get a lot less get out of jail free cards in this series.
I'm with justinandimcool and itzsoweezee. And Coach Pop. Do what we always do.
Curry has become massively overrated based on this one series against an average defensive team. He won't have the same room to operate against the Spurs.
Best post in the thread is quoted below.
[QUOTE=chapnis;6530577]1. Don't have a black coach.
2. Series sweep.[/QUOTE Wow man your a racist lol
IMHO...
defense :
Limit as much as possible Jarett Jack's ball possession & open looks at the basket.
Clog the lanes for Curry.
Don't let them pass the ball around.
Kawhi should patrol the perimeter... Diaw/Duncan tandem in the middle.
Don't let GS do fastbreaks. Spurs needs control the game.
offense:
Duncan & TP will play great but Manu could be the X-factor here with his vision as facilitator & experience in making the other shooters (esp. his bench crew to contribute),& find the perfect spots to shoot from beyond the arc or perimeter. He needs to be Manu for the Spurs to eliminate the GS in 4 or 5.
Share the ball.
Limit the turnovers.
Rebound. David Lee made us pay once when he rebounded 22 against us once this yr.
GSW find it hard to win @ AT&T. Continue the trend. 2-0 is a perfect way to start against that young & hungry team and lose their confidence and intimidate them a little bit.
1-1 could be scary if you go to GS arena & on the road.
just stay healthy Spurs !!!
I think we're locked-in focus-wise and we're going to do better than people think. Golden State is a fun team to watch, but they are very young and I think our defense against them will be better than their defense against us. They beat a very young Denver team. I'm pulling out the broom on this one, Spurs in 4.
Andrew Big-Gut is going to have a huge series...
Mark Jackson wouldn't say Pop is a better coach than him on this radio show. He said better then he said "well let me not say the better coach, the more experienced coach".
Dejuan Blair could be big for us in this series.
The Nuggets did everything right, and then they decided they were the Motta Mavericks and put up a three every possession. Unless the Spurs really really fail to show up in several areas, they should win this series pretty easily. I'll give the Warriors one game for hot shooting and because the Spurs will read the press clippings and come out flat once.
On offense, just move the ball from side to side and continue to be the number one assisting team in the league. I don't think the GS youth will be able to handle all the offensive movement from a healthy Spurs team. As Sean Elliott would say, I expect an "all you can eat buffet" on offense. Make Curry work on defense.
On defense, play Curry with Parker and Joseph early, Kawhi late, if needed, for size and a change of pace. IF the game is close entering the 3rd, give Curry a bunch of different looks, traps, double teams. Don't let him take over the 3rd. Close out on the shooters. Box out Bogut.
Spurs in 5...if that.
