Assuming we face GSW soon
How will we beat GSW? I think there are many things that have to happen for us to win the series.
We have to put Jrue on Thompson and play suffocating defense. Be very physical with him and try to get Thompson in foul trouble early. Limit his shots altogether. When Durant brings the ball down the court I think Rondo and Niko need to start defending him as soon as he steps over the half court line. It has to be extremely abrupt and aggressive. Double team Durant and Klay as much as possible. Create turnovers. Draymond is less of an offensive threat so it’s worth the risk to double team Durant and Thompson especially if it disrupts their offense.
Jrue and AD have to get to the line early and often. Last time we played them we got to the line a good bit. Jrue can score on any of them...
We will need our bench to play well for this series... Hill, Clark, Miller and Diallo have to contribute. If we get good production from the bench guys and Rondo and AD explodes we can beat them. We play a very fast pace. Let’s play aggressive smart basketball for 48 minutes. I think people are sleeping on us... let’s get game 1. Also, be VERY physical with curry when he returns and get under Draymond’s skin as much as possible because when he gets rattled he self implodes.
