The three point barrage has me wondering how NBA teams are going to adjust? The leaguewide dRtg is way up this season.
So much of modern defenses was predicated on zones and lots of switching which led to some of the greatest defenses of All-Time like the '11 Bulls. Locking down the paint and forcing long twos was the name of the game but threes are destroying these zones. Kidd's scheme used to force a lot of TO's on the Nets and had the Bucks as one of the best defenses but now it just gives up a ton of corner threes. How will the NBA respond to modern offenses?
I think you'll see more teams looking for the next Draymond type to play at the 4, someone small enough to guard wing players in switches but strong enough to check centers if they get caught there too. That is the only way to combat this, switching everything and having multiple guys on defense that can guard multiple positions.
Right now, Kidd has the worst scheme in the NBA too, dude's defense is giving up corner threes at an alarming rate.
OKC were more physical with Curry than any other team over the last two postseasons (noticeably more than Cleveland) - Warriors still won and Curry dominated in the back half of that series. It was more to do with the Cavs forcing Barnes and the rest of the role players to beat them.
I meant they were up 3-1 in the series you know...so they did have some success.

Let Curry break the record in front of his pops
Curry coulda easily had back to back 50 point games. Curry and Durant really haven't even meshed together 100% yet is the scary thing
