I said it even when Bible Thumper was coaching the team....if the Dubs want to run their offense through Harrison Barnes or Klay in the post, have at it tbh.
I was really concerned about this but after watching the game, I think this may not necessarily be a disadvantage especially if Parker plays good enough D. It kills their ball movement, prevents them from chucking threes, and takes the ball away from Curry as Livingston, Thompson, Barnes and maybe Iguodala are the only ones who will post up our smaller guards. Even if they do make those shots, wouldn't you take those instead of their dangerous three pointers?
Didn't work then, won't work now.
Parker defended them amazingly well, Patty not so much...
POP definitely tried to live with them and it was better. The last game we were doubling up and they killed us passing to open cutters on backdoor cuts or their shooters. It definitely killed their ball movement and also slowed the pace down. They still made buckets out of those, but not everything.
It worked for a while until Pop set them straight on the proper rotations for such a scenario: such as double teaming and trapping. It was a good strategy for them, but it plays right in to the half court kind of game the Spurs love to play.
I don't really mind them playing 1 on 1 or posting up..they'll score better than they did tonight, but not as efficiently as they did in the game earlier in the season, which was kind of anomalous..
Iguodala is great at passing out of the post, but Thompson and Barnes are terrible playmakers..
Those guys can shoot over our midget PG's AT WILL. No need for post moves, tbh.
