Steph Curry forced a Box n One in the Finals

[23Barrettcity]

One Kawhi deflection away. You out here acting like it didnt work. The reason they went that extreme is cuz they were down big with 6 minutes to go they needed to pitch a shutout and they almost did until that iggy 3. Raptors head coach doesn't mind over doing it they shutdown giannis and back door swept they ass. If Curry was so great why couldn't he score or get his team more than 3 points?

Meh yes curry is that great and was the biggest threat on the floor that’s why they used that strategy

 

[#1 pick]

It was a good idea. The surprise switch up on D made things alil difficult for a small stretch.
The thing that neutralizes that shyt for GSW is Draymond having the ball at the top. I have to go back and see did dray ever have that ball at the top during that stretch. Hes more aggressive and makes good passes. He doesnt just look for curry.
On that bullshyt call that van fleet got on curry on the steal. I think Bogut was at the top.
And obviously that wont work with klay or md in the line up.
But wit Draymond, u still have jiggy and cook on the outside.
The element of surprise is what caught them for alil bit... like when u see teams just go straight zone and all of a sudden the other team cant buy a basket.

Also, with the box and 1, u need the refs to be really lenient with the defender guarding the guy ur tryin to stop. Because ur trying to keep him from getting the ball initially... that's alot of grabbing and contact.... that's why it only usually works in lower levels of basketball.
The nba is not gonna let u man handle star players

In the last 5 mins, refs usually let a lot go. That's probably why Nurse went to this in the last 5.

Suspect tech? Are you serious? You think it’s cool for a player to just throw the ball in the air after a whistle?

Players do that shyt all the time as long as it’s not directed at anyone... he just casual threw the ball up but because it’s scott fosters bytch ass he hit Steph with the tech.. any other ref would have let that shyt slide or just call delay of game

Hell no lol...
The refs are not gonna allow u to grab, body up, reach in, put hands on lebron, kd, curry etc 30ft from the basket in the last 5mins of the 4th quarter in a playoff game. Them niggsz will be in the penalty immediately

 

[KingJay]

With Klay down Nurse was in a position where it would actually work
Shoutout to him and his staff for actually thinking to run that and having the balls to execute it
Lord knows Brett Brown would've never come to such a conclusion lmao

 

[Big Boss]

It worked

 

[TheNig]

That shyt was comedy. All them nikkas standing around and Fred chasing Steph from one side of the arc to the other.

 

[23Barrettcity]

nikkas mad curry physically can't get himself open

B b but hed kill it in any era including hand checking

We should give the refs credit for letting both teams play aggressive cause in this instance it definitely allowed them to ugly the game up . There were definitely possessions were they were extremely physical with curry

Hell no lol...

in this game the refs let both teams be physical it’s just that Toronto hit some threes and got some calls being aggressive ( to me I do think GS didn’t get some calls that were blatantly over aggressive) but they were smart to keep gojng to it

 

[the cool]

Curry is a top 5 player of all time and won't be appreciated til he's gone

 

[rbksNgirbauds]

Lol at “it worked” and da Raptors lost.



Curry hate make nikkaz insane n illogical.

We talking about a team with homecourt and every other thing swinging they way to win this series and these nikkas giving out moral victories

"Bu bu bu it did work, they didnt score in 6 mins"
They lost the game. Lost homecourt and finna comeback home down 3-1 who gives af if it worked or not , the series 1-1 now...nerds. The game about wins and losses at the end of the day. Period.

And when Steph finish the deal and get this finals MVP, oh my God these nikkas finna be soooooo aggy


Averaging 29 through 2, definitely finna average 30 a piece in games 3 and 4....It was written. Like yall ain't finna have shyt to stand on

 

[JYoung24]

2 games in a row of no adjustments

Seems like hes allergic to adjusting in June

how he had 34 the first game and hes been great in every finals beside 2016 we got to stop with this narrative

 

[knickscrusaderm]

Raps didn’t put a point up either.. Dubs ain’t the fukkin bucks

The box is a defensive philosophy though . Who cares what the raps did on OFFENSE.

Y’all new warriors fans either remedial as fukk or just new to basketball entirely

Combo of the two

 

[NormanConnors]

That's because its damn near impossible to cover dude with those ridiculous screens/schemes. Total gimmick.

 

[Tribal Outkast]

If Toronto hit some shots they would’ve won. Like try some closer shots and score that way. They left so many points on the floor trying to hit them stupid ass threes.
