I'm just tired of seeing 7 footers guard the best shooter and ball handler in the league. I don't believe their role players will play that good game in and game out. It's a reason they are bench players.
Because they aren't as good as the starting players of a 73 win team? Ok, as I said there is a reason not everyone can be an nba coach.

You do realize they are the defending champs right ? They had a role player be the finals MVP.......obviously they CAN do it game in and game out.

Just admit you're wrong breh

How is it one game? This isn't about the finals, this is about defending this warrior squad in general, since they became elite. Many teams have tried what OP has suggested and so far it's led to a title and a 73 win season.

Looking at the finals, coach lue said the warriors are switching everything on D and that's why their offense struggled to create. It works great when you have the athletes to do it.

After one game.....you do realize this is a 7 games series don't you? And I'm not even saying just for this series I'm talking about how Steph can be guarded from here on out. Your confidence must be low if you expect other people to admit defeat after one loss especially when Steph was 4-15 with said defense. You keep him under 44% and you rotate better to the role players and you got something.

can you read? im not talking about one damn game im talking about two seasons.

you say they need to rotate better, thats easier said than done with a team that puts 4-5 guys on the floor that can dribble, pass, and shoot.
they are the best passing team in the league, and the defense can never move faster than the basketball, especially when you're trying o double team someone and get in scramble mode right from the jump. you have to damn near sprint to get a good contest, which makes it even easier to pump fake or just drive around you since you cant put the brakes on easily. the defense is extremely vulnerable to basic cuts to the rim as defenders are constantly trying to recover.

not only that its exhausting and frustrating.

Bro you talking like it was a blow out when Curry was on the floor. Warriors led by 6 going into the 4th quarter then with Steph, Klay and Draymond on the BENCH Livingston, Iggy and Barbosa pushed the lead to 14 in about a minute and a half. That didn't happen becuz the Cavs were doubling Steph Curry he was on the damn bench when the run happened. Damn why is that so hard for you to understand.

I get it that Steph is your guy, he is the man and a great great player but when his ass got double teamed he was ineffective and the game was within winning distance for the Cavs until Curry went to the bench and the Cavs without LeBron on the floor fell apart for a quick minute on both ends of the court. I don't know what more you want Curry was off the game was close and becuz the Cavs had a few bad moments without using the strategy I suggested you trying to talk big. When in fact I should be the one talking big becuz what I said worked minus the early 4th quarter meltdown from the Cavs who were too relaxed when guarding anyone else other than Steph all night long.

LeBron was on his ass when he was off the ball....that shyt was nasty... I'd continue with that....and if Curry lights them up...he's truly legendary
