Shoot Bears From A Distance Or Get Mauled: Official Warriors VS. Grizzlies Western Semifinal Thread

[Bilz]

I just don't understand why ppl don't play him rougher. You can't give him any kind of space

Curry isn't a guy you want to put on the line but the Grizzlies have no excuse since they wouldn't have been called for fouls anyway. They're just soft.

I remember Tony Allen putting the clamps on then he got hurt

Tony Allen wasn't putting the clamps on anybody. We gotta let this shyt die. This is coming from his #1 fan too.

Your #1 fanship is hitched above all else to the Warriors bandwagon, you've made that clear.

yeah ok. if you keep saying this enough, maybe you'll start believing this.

This is what I mean when I say Allen wasn't putting the clamps on anybody in this series (@MVike28 @Tha_Mac @Liquid and @Keengcong yall can get this too). -

Klay dropped 28 points on Allen on 10-17 shooting in less than 30 minutes during the regular season. It's far easier for Klay to lose Allen than it is for Durant - he's better at running around screens, the Warriors' sets are far more intricate in getting shooters open and he can put it on the floor against Allen better than Durant can because he has a lower center of gravity and shorter arms.

I counted about five occasions where Klay put the ball on the floor and got past Allen.

His video shot chart - http://on.nba.com/1EWMW3R

Missed five open shots, a few of these were him dribbling right past Allen (he missed two shots in the paint contested by Randolph, one missed after Lee contested his shot on a 3 and one shot where Allen hit his arm on 3, which was deemed a block). The ball just didn't seem to go his way often enough - Curry definitely needs to give him the ball more instead of playing a one-two game with Green.

Klay was actually losing Allen on quite a few possessions. He just didn't get the ball.

Funnily enough the shots he took where he panicked he actually made. He missed some simple shots and that dunk. When he did have the ball he drove too far in the paint without looking where he was going; picking up his dribble and either throwing the ball away or forcing one of his teammates into a tough shot.

Memphis are the only team that will give the Warriors trouble, if they manage to progress into the next round - neither the Rockets or Clippers will stop them.

This is what I mean I say a lot of Klay's misses have been down to him simply missing and not Allen's defense -

Actually this is not happening, certainly not to a 'Revis Island' degree.

If you follow very closely you'll see Klay has been losing Allen in the halfcourt, he's been able to put the ball on the floor when guarded by him and he's been able to blow right past him and get into the paint on the regular. Past the fact that Allen's defensive story has gained traction in this series, and because Memphis has been effective in minimizing movement in any set-pick involving Curry - that shyt isn't noticeable. It seems most are taking the thought of Allen shutting him down and creating turnovers (because it falls in line with the theme of this series so far - Memphis' defense) as the plot and not just a few sprinkled isolated plays here and there.

Klay has been getting open - Curry just hasn't been able to get the ball to him. Klay has been getting open looks - they just haven't been dropping. Klay has been able to past Allen - his indecisiveness has been getting him into trouble when he gets into the lane.

Once (or should I say if) these things are corrected, the focus on who has the upper-hand in this matchup will change.

And -

Game 3 video shotchart (8 out of 13 - 20 points) - http://on.nba.com/1f2YgSA

Pretty much every single made field goal he had was either with Allen guarding him or a missed rotation by him
Out of the five missed shots he had - three were when he was open, one guarded by Allen and one guarded by Green.

And you're making that assumption based off what exactly?

Don't do this man this ain't about me being right or not.

Let's agree to disagree. You bout that long drawn out debate shyt

@holidayinn21 I'm guessing you don't have any data for backing this claim of Allen shutting down Klay, after I gave you detailed accounts and video shotcharts that showed he really wasn't?
