In game 6 against tired and scared Rockets.
Anyway, those examples don't show how many times attacking Pau worked for them...Denying that he isn't enough mobile for GSW P&Rs isn't the smartest thing in the world...

Yes. There's a huge break between two and three. That's why one and two are pretty much a different series.
You need length to guard Durant so at least he thinks twice about just shooting on top of you. Anderson and maybe Bertans. I was thinking though that Dedmon might also do well.
I think he will do very well against Draymond. He's big enough to fight him in the post.
I don't know what happened to Houston in game 6, but perhaps the added length of both Murray and Anderson was too much to handle.
Get Kawhi angry. I hope GS continues to flex, shimmy, pose and preen after every made basket. I'd love to see what an angry, disrespected Kawhi looks like. Play loose, it's great being a huge underdog with really nothing to lose.
With the Spurs playing the Rockets and now GS, I think our 3pt shooters get overlooked. I think Danny, Patty, Kawhi and Manu will go off beyond the arc.
Gasol was actually really good at protecting the rim against Houston, hopefully that carries over to GSW
we have the advantage at 3 positions, but their advantage in the backcourt should be fatal. It will be more about matchups than overall talent imo. If we can stop their pace, we should be able to abuse Draymond on every possession.
less than a calm one.
that's an awful gameplan... why would you waste kawhi on green who can be guarded by pretty much everyone on the roster short of david lee and pau gasol...
what are these 3 positions you speak of? Centre is the only clear-cut advantage
From what I've been reading, granted I didn't watch a ton of the GS/Utah series, is that Utah had the most success letting Durant get his while trying to keep Curry/Thompson in check for most the night.
all frontcourt positions.
There aren't. Warriors will sweep, 20+ pts up each game.
Hit threes
dedmond needed for defense
lma needs to play like g 6 every game
murray needs to become 3yr veteran overnight
and maybe Lee has given some insight to their tendencies
its not impossible, particularly since we are not expected to win. Like it said in another thread, we are the underdogs and by quite a bit in most people's views. I think that takes a ton of pressure off of these younger players and some of the vets that haven't won (LMA).
All the sweep predictions by spurs talk know it alls is just chicken . Too scared to show any optimism and be wrong.
Um, he's their best defensive player. The one you want to go after is Curry, but Parker was best equipped to do that and he's hurt.
Exactly
Good idea bertans would be perfect...it would drive Gaymon crazy if a 15 year old-looking aw shucks! white bread/white boy euro was defending him hard and even scoring...he would be looking for the nearest set of testicles to kick within minutes
If they overly rely on the three I think it's a plus for us. The three is devastating when other things work well with it like scoring inside. That's when that hoop looks bigger and bigger. We must make that hoop look small....but tempting in a desperate way. We have to be smarter and more patient and win the battle of who controls the tempo. I believe in big man play in the playoffs and we are bigger. We have to make sure we dominate this area.
Bertans should get testicular pay if he gets that role. I think its an official thing since Draymon started kicking them.
1. Pound the offensive glass to get extra possessions and control pace
2. Bait KD into hero/Westbrook ball so that other warriors just start looking at the ball.
3. Do the Cleveland and put curry in PnR defensive si uations often.
4. Wear down Green in the post, even if he initially holds ground against our bigs.
5. Play loose; you're massive underdogs so what do you have to lose by playing conservatively/passive ball.
Warriors only have 2 flaws, tbh(neither of which has been evident in the playoffs, though, albeit against poor/injured compe ion)..turnovers and defending the glass..
They don't have any weak spots on defense(if you exclude the glass)..offensively, you have to hope they are careless and sloppy with the ball(which was the case vs. OKC last year, where Curry was still throwing behind the back passes in traffic in clutch moments) and force Draymond, Iguodala and Zaza to make open shots, that's all you can do..Draymond is shooting 50% from 3 IIRC, he's due to regress, eventually..
Basically just pray Curry blows out his knee while running into Thompson and taking his knee out too.
