Keys / Strategies for beating the GSW

[Raven]

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.

Aldridge can get position and shoot over him without even jumping

[spursistan]

Nobody should be able to stop LMA, I say feed him and play Spurs style basketball and no isolation.

I also think we should play big and grab those rebounds and execute to prevent them running any fast breaks.

Play transition D, and try not to foul.

We gotta play with a lot of heart and energy and keep the crowd away from the game.

ZAZA ? Gaymond ? Who can guard LMA ?

LMAs brain.

I have a feeling Kyle will see a slight increase in minutes this series. His length will be useful against Draymond/Durant.

perhaps useful on Livingston too. maybe.

its back fired on us before, and pop has not done it much lately, and i am not the biggest fan of it. But will pop try a hack-a-whoever during this series? i dont know their percentages, but a hack-a- iggy, zaza, mcgee?

FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS. We HAVE to remain focused on both sides. I believe we have the talent to match them but they play so well together that we have to be focused 100% of the time. Talking on defense, not losing guys around screens, etc.

Also, keep the pace slow, exaggerate if you must, like we did in game 6 against Houston. Only advance the ball quickly if you're sure you will get points... otherwise run a set, post up, punish them down low. Warriors will feed off shots and if we can limit the amount of shots they get, hopefully they won't catch fire and gain rhythm. I'm confident we have the talent to beat them... I'm worried how well we will execute. Are we going to play undisciplined like game 1 vs Houston, or come out sharp like game 6 vs Houston.

keep assist count high

The Warriors haven't been tested yet, and it's possible that under pressure there could be egos or tension with too many guys who want the ball in their hands. Maybe that's wishful thinking. But Durant and Curry both get kind of sulky sometimes and Green is a hot head.

Sweep the leg

On offense:

1. Share the ball - make GS work on defense (Especially Curry) and SLOW things down. Mess up their pace.
2. Protect the ball - Limit turnovers, limit transition points
3. Make your FT's
4. Take advantage of height / mis-matches. Kawhi needs to spread the ball around and make sure Aldridge gets his precious touches. Kobe killed the Spurs when he would drive and dish an alley-oop to Shaq. Absolutely decimated the Spurs. He could have gotten any shot he wanted but he got in a zone during the SWEEP series of 2001 and chose his shots carefully. The defense became paralyzed when he drove because they weren't sure if he was going to shoot or dish to Shaq. As a result of his mixing his drives up with assists, he got dunks, floaters and layups.

On Defense:

1. Take advantage of GS turnovers (They are careless with the ball & will give it to you) - These are easy points
2. Body up on the wings - especially Curry. Make him work, make him tired, make him feel the defense.
3. DO NOT FOUL - They are almost automatic at the FT line

Most of all - Believe that you can win the game and that you belong there.
