On the Warriors-Grizzlies series:
This is the series that I was pointing to long before we knew the matchup would actually happen. Yes the Spurs are scary, but when you lose to the Spurs, you just know its cause they were the better team. The Grizzlies are the worse team, but they are basically in every way NOT the type of team the Warriors were optimized to beat.
If the Warriors lose resoundingly, you actually may have to call into question the entire Draymond-as-a-4 model, which is a huge problem because it's only playing Green this way that let the Warriors be the dominant team they were...and the Warriors probably have to decide ASAP whether to continue with the model or not.
As for Curry himself, I have a tough time being two worried about him. I mean, he's my #1 POY as we speak, and he may certainly lose that honor with poor play, but I have a tough time believing that any defense "solves" Curry in the long term. We know how good of a shooter he is, and we know he's smart if not brilliant as a passer. He'll be alright.
