Delly already showed how to stop him in last year's final..He just didnt have the athletism to keep it up over a 7 game series as Blat was using an 8 man rotation and wearing his own team out


Last year GS didn't face 1 starting point guard in the NBA on they way to the chip. They got lucky AF.. I highy doubt that they repeat this year
Delly got sent to the hospital trying to stop the Chef.

Messi won the best player award in the last world cup, what are you talking about? He took a mediocre team to the WC finals. Do you know how hard that is? Man, you sound silly. A soccer head like @mastermind or @Hollister would neg you if they read your post
Lmao. Somebody should neg you for calling Argentina's national team mediocre. They were one of the most talented teams there on a paper. Argentina could have won the WC too. Messi played a brilliant WC and his team is why he lost the WC that I agree with. But calling Argentina mediocre, that's just slander. Lol bro, you already caught feelings and negged me. Also, they can have whatever feelings they want. I've been around soccer my entire life as a player and coach. My view isn't that of just a fan.

Talent don't equal fit. Germany for example for fit. Brazil had talent but they rely too much on Neymar and didn't fit. The USMNT fit, they lacked too much talent but they fit. Talent don't equal fit

:snoop: That's why I made it perfectly clear from the beginning that I didn't agree with the authors overall premise while clearly explaining & detailing that my version of "Hack a Curry" didn't employ his .
strategy but my own which is what this thread is about.



Fixed! :youngsabo::blessed:

lol ok. Versions of hack a curry now. i said that article's premise is awful, have simply stated why and backed it up with data and percentages, also the fact that no coach in the NBA or college employed this "revolutionary" strategy. But your version is different though, come to the coli for professional NBA strategy. Got it:mjlol: a strategy involving fouling a 90+% ft shooter has got to work right?

You haven't backed up anything because you never had anything substantial to back your thesis with in the first place which I clearly proved

Unfortunately, simple logic & common sense doesn't seem to be your strong suit. :pachaha:

Literally came in here to post this. Get Tonya Harding and Jeff Gillooly on the case, and hope to God they don't get caught this time.

Just the fact a dude named Jeff gillooly was trusted.
to see that whole thing through says it was destined for epic fail status off top.

That shyt is still the wildest funniest shyt after Joey buttafuco for that era.

you haven't provided anything other than what you think a version of an awful strategy would work. simple logic: do not give the best nba free throw shooter 2 free throws, the shots he makes at the highest percentage of all his shots taken, on purpose and think that's a winning strategy.

:heh: You haven't provided anything whatsoever except the same redundant comments which you falsely think is a winning strategy.

:umad:It's not my fault that you're entirely too dense to utilize simple logic & data to see that I'm correct & that you're wrong!

History has proven, you stop curry by making him have to guard a more physically dominant dribble drive extensive point guard with a higher motor and similar or higher pedigree.

Before derrick rose got injured he used to own curry, Williams, cp3 and Russ and it was not even close.

To beat the warriors you have to outmatch their size and basketball fluidity at the backcourt positions.
Anchored defensively by twin towers with length and fluidity to cover the perimeter and who have a high IQ to defend the broken down play.

The broken down hustle plays that lead to perimeter conversion plays in the fray is what sucks the life out of the opposition versus the warriors.
All because no one employs proper length to cover the separation the warriors get. Coupled with a lack of tenacity via post presence.
Plus the warriors only play small ball in the front court, generally.
In the back court all their players are above the general NBA height for that position and they have guys at those positions.
a team would have run a failed franchise player model around ala igoudala.

As even a guy like klay Thompson, or harrison barnes would have been used as a failed franchise model player in this era if he was never a warrior.
Similar to players like when Danny granger was healthy before pg13 ramped up.
Or the typical charlotte or minnestoa sg type that never generally pans out like foye to mkg.

Klay Thompson and curry are both above the average height for their position. Even Livingston, and barbosa are oversized and size dominate dribble drive or post play.
Yet, people portray them as small players and they are not.
At the small forward position they employ an above average height player who has failed franchise player intangibles, too.
So, their team is filled with failed franchise model oversized backcourt and wing three players to make up for the small ball frontcourt.
So, they have length in the areas before you would be able to play above the rim defensively generally in basketball.
So you are not actually making it to the paint region or gaining much separation defensively via ball handling on the perimeter.
They are not a small ball team where people say they are small ball.
People mention small ball in regards to the warriors like globally it encompasses the entire roster.
When the only person who is typically small position wise on the warriors is at the four and sometimes the five.
Yet at the four they run an athletic guy who is a power three or a wing three hybrid who is oversized.
Or they run a fluid Wing three that is oversized in green at the five who triggers transition play.
If they don't run a traditional five.
The warriors are really only small ball at the four or when they anchor a five. The warriors are oversized by rule at every other position.
So all the small ball talk is just buzzwords gon awry, in verbiage.
Not the actual real analysis of the team.

The warriors run an oversized unit, except for the times when they run green at the five.
Yet green actually bares down on some Rodman d meets pip type defense in a cotton candy non-physicality based league.
That has frowned on post play as a rule.
So, even then the warriors are not a small ball team.
If they are not playing an eccentric low post style big backcourt based team.

The problem teams have beating the warriors is because they won't play an oversized backcourt to cancel out the oversized backcourt the warriors employ every night.

Steph curry is not actually little being 6.3 at the pg position.
In college people said he was a combo guard who was to big to play the point.
When in reality he was an oversized pg who could score and was inaccurately scouted.
by idiot scouts and NBA pundits who don't really understand NBA teams need to ramp up backcourt talent in general.
NBA backcourt players don't come prepackaged and microwaveable.
