Stotts just gave one of the worst answers I’ve ever heard in a postgame.

    Terry Stotts logic:

    Curry is going to get 30 either way so we might as well not make things tough on him. Holy shit, he’s really not going to adjust, is he? We are going to have to watch the two greatest shooters of all time walk into 3s for 4 games. Incredible.

    "He had 0 in the first half but had 33 in the 2nd half on insanely tough shots, so we should just make it easier on him and let him get wide open looks of screens to see if that'll stop him from scoring 33 in a half."

    Terry is so defensive at a completely legit and reasonable question.

    This shows what an idiot he is. He knows very well he got embarrassed on national stage so in order not too look like a dumb ass, and accept he failed as a coach and his defensive plan was terrible, he is trying to defend himself, surely he will have to make giant adjustment on curry, if i was Dame I would be pissed and would demand a traps on curry just what they doing on him

    Brian Windhorst reported that the players on the bench were talking and questioning the strategy during the game.

    It's so ridiculous man...

    Not only makes him look bad, but the response is that of a coach who just doesn't get it.

    It's the 'make your kid smoke a pack of cigarettes until he pukes and never smokes again' Strategy.


    This is going to be my sig.

    Maybe Stotts didn't know Curry and Klay could shoot. Complete ignorance would be about the only reason I can understand for that type of game plan without Durant. Make Iggy, Looney, Bogut beat you. If they do, at least you lost to their 3rd options. Kerr > Stotts.

    Especially when you have 2 star guards and every defense tries to make the other 3 beat them...

    Theres literally no excuse possible.

    I'm really have a difficult time trying to see the logic behind his decision to employ this strategy. Let's see if Steph Curry can beat us by shooting uncontested 3's. That should work.

    He defense hasn't changed the first 82 games and hasn't changed in the playoffs so why would anybody think he would change now.
