Similar breakdown

No one on the league applies this kind of CONSTANT pressure on a defense

This drop vs trap defense is a toss up Imo
You are holding the warriors in check with the drop but trapping curry is how you get the ball out of his hands and stop the bleeding
The Celtics only attempted to trap curry after they already had the lead in the final minute

Even the cavs mixed it up and had Tristan Thompson play the drop better than Horford and Williams have

Ime needs more Marcus Smart on Curry.

Might as well throw out a box and 1 with Smart on Curry, Brown and Tatum up top and Horford and William's low.

I hear you, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility. This is a perfect storm. There’s so much distance between his performance and anyone else on either team. Add the fact that he doesn’t have one on his resume. It could happen

If LeBron didn't get it in 15 they wouldn't do it for Steph now

I want to see how he looks next season. This might just be wishful thinking but maybe another summer building might have him looking closer to his old self. One thing you know about Klay is that he's going to put the work in.

This series seems destined to go all 7, I think boston wins it in a slug fest on the road

 

[Ohene]

Steph curry has the third best defensive rating in the series after looney and Williams

Lets talk about it

I don’t think he’s that bad personally

From what I've noticed the only time he's really been bad on defense was when he got into foul trouble and the Celtics were feasting on him in game 3 and parts of game 1. He's held up better than I expected when switched onto Tatum.

 

[TOAD99]

Yeah curry has been a two way player all post season

He did have a bad defensive game 3, but I would attribute that to foul trouble and probably just being tired due to his offensive load

I wonder if Boston is content with living with Curry having the offense on his shoulders or will they try to trap and then recover and rotate. If they make it easier for the Warriors other players game 5 could get out of hand in the Warriors favor.

Even with Steph going off Boston was in control most of the game and responded to every run the warriors made. Turning point was that terrible airball Tatum put up when the celts were up 91-86. i think Celts are gonna be more concerned with controlling the boards they got killed there by Wiggins and Looney. And Tatum? Well he been getting destroyed head to head…if he isn’t big in game 5 then I agree shyt will get out of hand for the Celts

Tris Kardash was more athletic and had super quick feet
