You're an NBA Coach. How do you stop Steph Curry?

[#1 pick]

Anyway, you stop curry by making him have to guard a more physically dominant dribble drive extensive point guard with a higher motor and similar 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 plays in the fray is what sucks the life out of the opposition versus the warriors because no one employs proper length to cover the separation the warriors get.
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 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.

Klay Thompson and curry are both above the average height for their position.
Yet, people portray them as small players and they are not.
At the small forward position they employ an above average height player ho has failed franchise player intangibles, too.
So, their team is filled with failed franchise model oversized backcourt 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 generally in basketball.
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 bybrule 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 he actually bares down on some Rodman d meets pip type defense in a cotton candy non-physicality based league.
That has frowns 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.
They don't come prepackaged and microwaveable.

Good post to a degree, but good post. You are spot on about the backcourt being large. It's the reason. They could play defense like they play. The only team that could be built to beat them is Milwaukee and they lack the PG and experience

 

[Truefan31]

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

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!

Lol I never said my strategy is a winning one. What I said is yours is definitely NOT a winning one. And there's zero evidence to support yours cuz no smart coach in their right mind does what you think is smart.

It's not my fault nobody agrees with your secret weapon strategy to stop curry. All u doin is making yourself look dumb.

Milwaukee is my favorite team btw.
Off sheer potential,....
If Milwaukee picked up pj III and ran him at the two, ala the Seattle Durant era.
to match an all big backcourt off the rule in Milwaukee with a real pedigreed coach.
who knew length like pat riley did in la, or when adelman ran big with porter, glyde, cliff, buck and duck.
The warriors would lose.

I would enjoy seeing:


Giannis
Pj III = run the Durant experiment
Jabari parker = won't work unless jb runs the three as parker is not a four at all he is a ckncrete Simeon three with four height
Miles plumblee
Monroe

You can run that small ball perimeter guard d league remaining roster to rest the Milwaukee big lineup of mcw, and Middleton, bayless and others.

Minnie-app is staffed to beat the warriors and should be running big starting:

Zack
Shabazz
Wiggins
Garnett
Kat

With a better coach, but they want to keep playing garbage ass Rubio.
When rubio/flynn debacle era been over.

Don't give him space. Go over screens all the time. Force him off the three point line. Try to force him into long two's. Rather him drive to the basket than taking and draining three pointers. Go at him on offense.

This is what Atlanta did. Don't give him space, if he beat you off through dribble, the person who getting the open shot can't be Barnes or Klay. You must attack Curry on offense and run effective PnRs. We got the front court to beat Golden but our backcourt is too fukking weak outside of the PG's.

First & foremost, actually we aren't talking. And unless you personally know a NBA coach or coaches (which you don't) your so called "evidence" especially coming from a obvious novice like yourself is completely useless! And it's not my problem that you & others may lack the intellect or don't have the foresight to figure out my strategy I've clearly outlined.

All u doin is making yourself look dumb

Too bad in reality it's really you that have been making yourself look "dumb" in this entire thread with your nursery school rants.

I just realized after all these years, I used to have that exact same duffel bag

Run him into screens and picks on offense. Those are like body shots in boxing. Wear his ass down. Get your hand in his face when he's shooting. Don't lay down for them. I would rather lose the way OKC did last night any day than get blown out.

Put kawhi leanard on him straight up.

I suspect he will do this march 20

You can't put Leonard on curry because you don't have youth, fluidity, or a skill player left with length to guard their two and three.
Leonard is igoudala in Philly as the other ai franchise years and golden state has three igoudala types to give the spurs hell.

The warriors have three igoudala or better types given their emotional constitution, ability to play up, iq, ball handling , defense, fluidity, feral tenacity and makeup in:

Barnes
Igoudala
Green

Who are younger and have more confidence.
Plus klay is younger and manu does not have the motor to keep up with him on the perimeter on d.
The spurs don't have speed, youth, length or high enough pedigreed skill players in the backcourt.
who can play up to the warriors in a series.
San an would need to have a six game heated series with someone like Dallas or the clippers in a previous round.
Making them be in the mode of playing up with team chemistry at an all time high.
While, the warriors got a cake walk and lost chemistry.
All from time off and the luck of the draw to play up and beat the warriors.
Past that the warriors have that fake ramped up bullshyt in key roster spots beat that san employs.
That has shown will break down from emotional overload and be incapable of playing up.
to compete against a higher pedigreed units employed in golden state.
Yeah the spurs draft well but all the stuff they draft have fatal flaws in key areas.
If matched up with higher pedigreed parts to counter.

From the time Chef inbound the ball, be on him like white on rice

 

[Art Barr]

Run him into screens and picks on offense. Those are like body shots in boxing. Wear his ass down. Get your hand in his face when he's shooting. Don't lay down for them. I would rather lose the way OKC did last night any day than get blown out.

You are not gonna find anyone with a motor to do what you are asking to do in a larger perimeter player for that long.
You would exasperate the help and then golden state also never loses length or shooting in the backcourt if you do do that and you have to do that to four out of five players on Gs at one time all game.
So, I would play Gs with fluid high pedigree length at every position like old la or old Portland as the rule.

Let Gs run around and get abused like Portland and the Lakers used to do.
To all those small ball teams out west back when they dominated.

That will wear defenders out to full court press all game. I would say from half court.

I wish I owned the bucks,.....
I would enjoy being that hands on al davis is the commissioner and owner type but in the NBA.
Trying to beat golden state.

Give me one acquisition and a PHX trainer and I would chase beating golden state and nullifying Cleveland.
