    Its amazing how differently the Raptors are defending the Warriors. They're almost playing a 'box & 1' defense (staying tight on Curry and zoning up the rest).

    I REALLY wish Portlands defense was ever this agressive.

    With Terry Stotts as Coach, our Defense will always be bad and we have to rely on opponent team missing a ton of shots

    I would just like to say.

    The last transition defensive position GSW did against Toronto.
    Not once did GSW give that little effort against Portland getting back.
    Holy shit. I wish GSW played defense like that in the WCF.

    You have to actually try and push the ball. When we only do it 4-5 times a game, its easy for them to always get back

    I think it's Bones's account. Or maybe Hoops?

    They're doubling Curry and Klay every time the get the ball and then playing the passing lanes.

    It's a simple strategy that our sorry coach should've been able to implement during the season.

    Toronto's defensive rotations in that game were a thing of beauty.

    I remember Portland had interest in D'antoni before we got Stotts.

    He don't know anything about defense he had a defense coach. When that coach resigned Houston defense was crap. So they beg him to come back and when he did that when there defensive settled down.
