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

[Ironman]

When he shoots those floaters, elbow/forearm to the stomach and ribs. When he actually goes all the way to the rim, hit him with your body and make sure he ends up on the ground.

And get a flagrant and kicked out

And get a flagrant and kicked out

You can do it with out being completely malicious

Brotha you can't just elbow a guy in his ribs intentional or not refs pull that flagrant trigger quick. Especially to defend a star player.

Physically he can ware down Memphis and Cavs did it too him. Other than that u can't

Problem is that he has leveled up this year so forget what worked last season. Didn't Delly catch a seizure or some shyt and had to go to hospital trying keep up with Curry in the finals

 

[mr. smoke weed]

Has any team tried fouling him hard often? Do they even allow that in the NBA anymore?

 

[fifth column]

I'd think more about beating golden state than beating an individual player
the guards klay and steph provide the scoring while dray, Iggy and Barnes provide solid defense, versatility, playmaking and rebounding.

My first focus is how those forwards help out. I would focus on shutting down drays play making and defensive rebounding leading to him leading fast breaks. force the play making to come from curry and he's not a pure pg.

Iggy and Barnes won't put up numbers but they will help on the rebounding tip and defense. I'd fight them on rebounds and force Klay to step up. Tire him out because when you look at his box scores he does not rebound or assist at a high rate. So his lack of versatility in having a complete floor game like the forwards is what I'd focus on.

finally on curry, you let curry be curry but in that particular game he will have to be the primary playmaker, he'd have little help offensively from klay and I'd put a scrappy defender or someone long like kawhai. Force him into the paint and bump him everytime cause he doesn't live at the free throw line. he's also not physically imposing too.

He doesn't defend well so offensively I'd go at him. again would klay switch to take pressure off while rebounding and taking playmaking responsibilities off? I'd welcome that. In the meantime the offensive player has to be high activity.. I'd also run him into physical screens.

Curry doesn't always bring up the ball, he plays off the ball a lot so u can't force him to be the primary playmaker. Iggy and Dray initiate the offense alot

 

[little lizard]

i would start by telling my guards to stop ball watching and losing there man trying to get steals and what not

 

[fifth column]

Only thing I could think of is not to guard Draymond on offense since he always gets the ball to make a decision. I would let him drive and contest late at the rim this way he's already committed to score and not look to pass. Probably would only work for so long though

 

[MarcP]

Sub in my worst big. Leave the paint open so Curry drives for the easy layup. Big man runs in for the clothesline from hell

Steph ain't your daddy. fukk off his dikk. Jesus.

Lol at "appreciating" anything, when you're the biggest fukking hater around these parts on everything not named "Golden", "State", "Warriors", "Steph", "curry", "draymond", and "green".

Yeah now you're just blatantly making up shyt. Obviously you don't pay much attention to my posts if you hold this position.

Tell me again how Kawhi didn't deserve DPOY.

I never said he didn't deserve it - I said that Draymond not only had a better argument but he was slighted on a technicality. The player that gets the most first-placed votes should win the award; which Draymond did, yet due to some voters forgetting to put him on it and others completely leaving his name off the ballot - he lost.

I'll also wait til the playoffs for you to make a long-winded argument on how the warriors lost a game because they "just missed shots", not because you couldn't "appreciate" good defense.

Now you're making up more shyt. I praised Memphis' defense (mostly Gasol and their team defense), yet you chose to blatantly lie by overvaluing Allen's defense on Klay when I provided video footage of Klay continuing to take Allen off the dribble and lose him on off-ball screens - yet he was missing open shots or help defenders altered his shot.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

And @holidayinn21, you need to stop deflecting - this is about your salty ass hating on some GOAT shyt. I bet you don't talk in these futile 'he doesn't play defense'' runs when it comes to Magic.

 

[emoney]

I respect your opinion but I think there are some things out there that teams aren't employing as much as maybe they should

I'm planning on making a thread about how to defend the Warriors moreso as opposed to Curry but there'll be tips in there about defending him too.

I'm still getting video clips and examples together to illustrate my points clearly. You should check it out when I make it and let me know what you think breh

@emoney

when you create this thread

 

[David_TheMan]

Full court press Curry and trap him when he crosses the half court line.
On top of that direct your offense towards him to get him in early foul trouble.

 

[MalikReloaded]

Forfeit the game and move on to the next team

 

[ALonelyDad]

There is no other answer than just play him tight and hope he misses. You can't double team him..Warriors are one of the best playmaking teams out there. Not only do the have the goat shooter, but they have Klay..who is the 2nd best shooter in the league right now, and can be top 5 all time when said and done. You double Curry, Klay gets a wide open look and makes it in. When teams usually double Curry, he gives it to Draymond..who just runs right to the paint and forces defenders to come over which leaves guys like Barnes and Klay open.
