Who's going to be pressuring Steph on LAC? Paul, Crawford, Dudley, Redick, Collison, Granger? Curry is going to splash all over their face.
CP3 is one hell of a defender.
LAC will likely be throwing multiple players at Steph.
CP3 is a good flopper, too. I can already see all the "moving screen" calls on the Warriors whenever Draymond, Lee, O'Neal, etc. set a screen for Curry to get open.
Just gotta hope Curry can still make shots despite CP3's defense, and also hope that CP3 gets worn out trying to defend Curry so that it'll effect CP3's production.
The thing is, Paul is a good defender, but after him, who else is going to defend Curry? Then throw Klay in the mix and the Clippers have a shortage of defenders. Klay and Dre will both defend Paul at times and you will have Green on him off the PNR.
IMO that the Clippers are a worse defensive team than last seasons team and the playoffs expose that weakness.
Well that's exactly what I'm hoping for and why I still have faith in the Warriors.
I don't think LAC's main defensive focus on Curry will be individual defenders. Their defensive plan will probably be to try to bother him by throwing multiple guys at him. So it's not much of a matter of individual defense, but power in numbers since they're hoping multiple guys jumping at Curry would be enough to bother him.
With that said, I'm not worried about their defense on Curry. Even if they threw guys at Curry, I'm still confident that it won't stop Curry from being aggressive with his offensive attacks.
The only thing I'm worried about is our interior defense. But like I said, I'm hoping that Lee cancels out Griffin and that we do a decent job limiting DeAndre.
Also, as a side note. I really feel like if we can steal one of the first two on the road, then Jordan Crawford could be a surprise X-Factor playing at home. He just seems like one of those wild players who would thrive greatly from the crazy energy that Oracle has during the Playoffs.
