GSW said after game 7 their defensive goal and strategy was to never let Jalen go off. They were content with letting Sengun be the guy because his low percentage twos were never goin to beat them. That’s why Kerr was so smug and disrespectful in his huddle. Draymond, Moody and and Kerr all said that. Kerr said the tape
Showed that the most dangerous version of the rockets was when Jalen was allowed to be dynamic. They weren’t afraid of brooks threes, Amens intangibles, or Sengun 2’s. GOAT broke it down between game 6 and 7 that the goal for GSW through out the series was to make life as difficult as possible for Green. I think Green helped them do that.
With that said you have to retool. Sengun was terrible this series. He was jsut as bad as Jalen . His ts was worse than Jalen’s. And Jalen was terrible so that says a lot about Sengun play.
I would trade either personally. I would upgrade the other spots around. Upgrade from FVV and upgrade from Brooks. Brooks was the main reason that Hield went off. he wasn’t respecting his shot. His close outs were slow late and erratic.
Replace FVV with Coby White, and Brooks with Cam Johnson. Sign Grimes
All this you could figure out just by watching one quarter of game one
I even commented on it
People in this thread are just green haters who don’t have basketball IQ
Mind you, Warriors have the best defense in the nba since getting jimmy
Jalen green did good considering all this and it being his first playoff appearance and being on a young inexperienced team
He played good defense got more rebounds
moved the ball and was a “decoy” in the limited minutes he played
But as far as helping the offense it’s nothing much more he could do without forcing the issue and going ISO against double teams just to score
That’s why he didn’t score
And also I’d say the physicality and Draymond did have him a little scared
