Golden State

Golden State eviscerated the #2nd and #3rd Ranking NBA teams respectively by 30 each. How the fuck do you stop them?

Just gotta hope that they start missing shots. They're nuts. Haven't seen a team this unstoppable in many years.

There's two basic answers, get a couple post players that can A) rebound every shot they do miss and B) score in the post every possession down the court for you until you force them to get away from their small ball lineup. 2) You have to get a few guards that can annoy the hell out of Steph Curry because dude hates to play physical and have a guy in his space. Matthew Dellavadova was shutting him down until the Cavs issues with injury hurt their depth and forced him to play too many minutes until Delly litterally dehydrated himself into kidney failure. You have play defense in a way that forces Curry to wear you like a shirt, it's tough, but it can be done - especially in the playoffs when officials typically let defenses play tighter.

I think this would've worked maybe last season, but Curry's performance against the NBA's best defense and defensive player this season has me questioning it. Draymond Green has also stepped into an excellent playmaker and Klay is still the league's 2nd best shooter. I forget which article it was, however it highlighted how Detroit beat Golden State by treating Curry like any other player and not the league's best.
