    Because Curry is the best shooter of all time? Dame has never been as efficient as Curry.

    It’s like we think we are playing Denver still, trying to get everybody in the paint to secure rebounds. Difference is, Golden State is the GOAT shooting team.

    At least bring a second defender? Doesn’t make much difference who but put someone out there.

    When has this defensive scheme ever worked against the Warriors? Klay and Curry are licking their chops getting what they want with no resistance. Essentially aiding them into putting on an offensive clinic.

    What is the risk in blitzing Kanter. Are we really worried about Looney or Bogut making a play with the ball in their hands at 15 feet?

    We did this same shit in game one against Denver. Came out and ran totally vanilla stuff like it was a random regular season game. I want to say Terry is feeling them out, but really he shouldn't need it by now.

    Dame have you not learned that those passes don't work after the 6th turnover?

    This is starting to look like we can only play one of Kanter/harkless/Aminu at the same time because its just DESTROYS spacing and is a prime cause of these turnovers.
