That's how the 2016 Cavs won :manny:

Kerr needs to change their philosophy and find a way to stop them from switching. Half the time Curry doesn't even have to switch but he does it anyway out of instinct. They need to have Curry go under and force the ball handler to take and make a tough 3 instead of Curry having to switch and getting an easy 2

It’s less physical to switch versus fighting through/around screens.

This is true. But you can play screens different ways. In this particular case the Warriors might want to just go under to keep the ball handlers man on him and just live with whatever shot the ball handler gets, it preserves Steph's energy and more often than not they'll give up a semi contested 3 in that scenario

Harden is too smart to do that too. He’ll find space and shoot a spot up three.

Steph just had to play better defense. He shouldn’t be constantly falling on the floor in defense in isolation.


I said during the second round. That Houston was goin to isolate Steph all series and @Jplaya2023 and warriors fans laughed at my post. It’s been the strategy for Houston against GSW for two seasons now.

I'm saying they'd rather give up the 3s and see how many he can make rather than putting wear and tear on Steph and fouling. So yeah thats something they should try

Harden runs the pick and roll over 30 times a games. If you go under the screen every time and leave him space he’ll easily and unconsciously shoot 10-15 threes if they’re open. He searches for that opportunity. If he shoots his regular percentage. He’ll hit at least 5-6 . I don’t think it’s a good strategy.

That’s just harden. Havent even discussed Paul

It's worth trying :manny:

They won't all be wide open, doubt he'll drop 60 on the road :manny:
