Any way you want. He guards all 5 spots.

Cook, Livingston, Jerebko, Cousins, and Klay.
This must be the lineup Kerr sees in his nightmares.
Vanvleet looking like prime D Rose with these layups man
Cousins getting bailed out for the brick.
Wow, Cousins bailed out AGAIN by another whistle. That was a clear charge.
Kawhi with that high IQ offensive board, Lowry swishes it. Just dynamic, high IQ play.
Yeah, a lot of people use IQ kind of randomly (as if it just means any good play, or as if every good player is high IQ) but when it's legit, it's obvious. Some players just visibly see the court differently. Kawhi is one. Fully engaged Lebron is another. Duncan was one.
Zion is another, jsyk.
Toronto is looking like a well oiled machine tonight. They have amazing depth and each one of their players know their respective roles.
Disgusting offensive possession by Curry. He had that floater, but passed for no reason. Got it back, had the three he'd normally take, gave it up to drive and tried to get a foul call on a wild prayer-shot. Missed. No call. Garbage.
Edit: and seconds later, he takes that exact three.
Curry finally making some shots. He keeps this up, he'll be healthy in no time.
Warriors been bailed out to the tune of 20 first half FTAs.
Warriors just flat out look like the lesser of the two teams.
Totally agree.
After game one, saw a lot of people on twitter saying ''the game's finished and Toronto's lead still doesn't feel safe'', and I have to wonder if they were watching the same game as I was. Toronto's lead looked rock solid and near-untouchable the entire second half.
And their lead tonight feels similar. Golden State just doesn't look like they have it.
Now Looney's questionable to return.
Warriors looking baaaaaaad.
Two terrible defensive plays by Toronto.
Can't sleepwalk here. Curry was warming up at the end of the second. They let the foot off defensively and Curry will just hit five threes and suddenly they're fighting back.
This officiating is giving me the feeling of our second round matchup against the Warriors last year.
Raptor's cannot keep settling for Gasol threes right now.
Raptors offense is looking extinct right now.
I think it's really nice of the refs to decide that because Klay can't dribble, he doesn't have to. That's very accommodating of them.
And of course it's Vanvleet who knocks the lid off.
The Raptors really letting Vanvleet down right now.
Raptors: ''Hey, we've missed our last 4 threes, only hit one three pointer this entire quarter, and Cousins is right there. What do we do?
Shoot more bad threes!''
Raptors playing shell-shocked. They had to know this could happen, right? Someone told them that the Warriors were usually good, right?
Steph Curry doing his best James Harden impression again. Curry just leaping sideways into a defender to get the foul. Kind of lame.
Raptors appear to be settling in again, shrinking the lead from 16 to 7.
Toronto needs to calm down and play their game in this 4th Quarter.
Klay's hobbled, not sure quite what happened there.
Also: Curry came out onto the court while the clock was still running to hype up his teammates.
How the hell is that allowed? Warriors had 6 players on court while the clock was active. It was not a time out. It was not a whistle.
Raptors offense is mostly back but they NEED stops, man.
Raptors have gone cold at the absolute worst time and they apparently have no answer for Cook and Bogut.
This is where the bad officiating really bites the Raptors. Gasol was getting called for nonsense fouls earlier, which meant he couldn't defend with the same aggression he did in game 1. He's not fast enough to defend without that physicality, so those fouls essentially took him off the floor.
Without Gasol, Bogut can just catch these lobs all night.
Raptors put Gasol back out. Let's see how this goes.
Vanvleet has been fantastic for like 6 games now. Wow.
Lowry has been beyond poor for this second half.
Feel bad for Vanvleet tbh. He's hustled his legs off, taken so many bumps for this game, and it's going to be given away by those 5 minutes in the third.
Green for 3!!!
Damn... thats probably game.
WTH were the Raptors thinking on that last GSW possession?
Can't even comment on the final 2 minutes of the game because the NBA app froze, then I found a stream and it froze, then I went on to the ESPN site to at least get the gamecast and then THAT froze too.
Fantastic timing.
Turns out that if the refs officiate poorly in the first half, and then you can't hit an open jumper for 6 minutes in the second half, you lose.
Weird.
I'm so tired of the Warriors man lmao. That 19-0 run at the start of the half was the killer.
The thing is, that run wasn't even the Warriors doing.
I mean, part of it was. Obviously they were scoring and their defense was much better than it was in the first half.
But Toronto GOT open shots. Several of them. Just couldn't make anything for a solid 6 minutes.
Tor played great d on curry the last 5 min but couldn't hit. Danny Green was the only one to hit ironically enough.
Early calls were horrible against Tor. 4 of Lowry's 6 fouls were early on flops. Same with 2 of Gasols early illegal screens. Totally took those 2 out of the game.
On that note, GS is flopping EVERYTHING. Not just shots. I'm taking screens, rebounds, box outs, dribbles, incidental contact, etc. It's very clear just how much Kerr has taught them to sell and if they get even 30% of those calls then you have a situation like tonight where Tor has 3 starters in foul trouble in the 2nd qtr. If any team didnt need the extra advantage its GS.
Props to Quinn Cook for catching fire from three in the 4th
