Kerr and his coaching staff really need to figure out how to counter the Thunder's defensive strategy and get Steph some looks.

Because otherwise they go to Robertson and he's useless...
The Thunder are happy to let anyone not named "Curry" shoot the ball. Just watch their rotations...very interesting.
How do the Warriors have an 8pt lead with the way OKC is shooting the ball? Everyone except their worse shooter (westbrook) is making everything whether defended well or not.

Simplest reason: Golden State has 10 offensive rebounds. Unacceptable for the Thunder.
Yeah you're totally right. Any jumper by anyone not named Curry or Thompson (maybe Barnes) is a defensive victory.
The answer is turnovers and allowing offensive rebounds.
Still, the Thunder are in decent shape here.
All it takes is a small series of mistakes which both teams are prone to. That lead is nothing though.

The only thing that concerns me is that when games get tight and the stakes are big, Curry doesn't act like himself taking those crazy shots he can make. The same thing happened in the finals last year.
Dthomp
Member
Yup. Just need to play with that controlled attacking of the rim and box out to grab those defensive rebounds. Basically do everything you did before the final 2 minutes and you're fine

Thunder got that length like the Bucks that bothered the warriors earlier this season.

I'm sure it's not a popular opinion among Thunder fans, but personally I don't see why Ibaka is out there half the time. Adams is all over the paint busting his ass and works well with the ball around the rim, but all Ibaka does is hang around the 3 hoping for a pass. I know he was necessary before we got Adams/Kanter but I kind of prefer them on the court over him

Floor spacing.
Ibaka can space the floor, can be a pain for Curry on the perimeter, clogs up passing lanes, and is a decent rim protector.. Kanter, while a talented rebounder and post player, is food for this offense.

Refs are sooooo bad.

If the Warriors, Curry specifically, can't buy a fucking call AT HOME, I can't even imagine what it's going to be like in Oklahoma.

It's time to make up for Green throwing people around the entire first half

One of the few times the Thunder have allowed Curry to get even that much space.
