This is the first time in the Curry era that an opposing team’s strategy has been to run the Warriors into the ground. And it was absolutely the right choice.
And in this game, Mike Brown made a genius decision to get even faster that worked to perfection. 🧵
Brown pulled a smallball trap on Kerr that Kerr failed miserably.
Lyles instead of Len. Davis instead of Barnes. More shooters instead of Mitchell.
The old and tired Warriors, on a short turnaround, were simply spread out and run by.
Wiggins didn’t show up and was visibly panting on the free throw line. He’s worn down, the idea that he could return in shape for this pace was a myth that Mike Brown understood and targeted.
Curry seems exhausted as well. Is his leg banged up?
Apart from turnovers, Klay has been solid but completely unable to free himself in transition for open 3s.
Donte has been horrible on both ends, completely exposed and completely rattled.
