Different guys will spend time guarding Curry. What you hope for with Kyrie is that he's healthy enough to put points on Curry to make him work on the other end. Curry isn't some great defender either but you wouldn't say Klay is the better player. Also, Kyrie was drafted #1 in the same draft as Klay and has had the better career to this point.
I hope they don't put Klay on Kyrie. Klay guarded Conley in the Grizz series and he shut him down. They might hide Curry on Shump/JR like they hid him on Courtney Lee/ Tony Allen. I don't know who Kyrie is going to guard if he's not 100%, you can't put him on Klay or Barnes, they'll just post him up

They'll put him on Barnes. The Cavs would rather have the Warriors throw the ball to Barnes in the post because it keeps the ball out of Steph and Klay's hands.

Bron's never guarded players that run around all day and use screens. Curious to see how he'll do from energy expansion perspective

Actually he has. He guarded terry in the 2011 finals. He also guarded Ray Allen and Rip Hamilton a few times (short oeriod of time) in the playoffs vs the Celtics and Pistons over the years.

But he will mostly be guarding Barnes, Iggy and Draymond.

Barnes is a great passer out of the post though.

Pick your poison.

jr will shoot with no respect though...

i believe GSWs biggest challenge is..

will curry accept klay to be the MVP if they shut him down... or will he chuck shots.
