You have to give them something. Role players struggle on the road. |
I would like to see the Warriors shoot over single man coverage. It’s what the Paul/Harden Rockets and last year's Grizzlies did to contain the Warriors high-octane offense. |
If they ask curry to go ISO on AR and Vando, I would take it all day. |

If they hit open shots and/or they can find the pass to DG for the 4 v 3, it will be the same (bleep) as Game 2 all over again if we continue hedging with AD. We tried drop coverage and they torched us beginning of this game. You switch everything and force all of their players, including Curry to score with a person in front of them |

| AD just can’t stick to his pattern and take this game 4 off, it is a MUST WIN! It very well could be the series. It will be war for sure, I just hope we have the energy to finish the game strong. |

| Going up 3-1 would be a huge psychological edge versus 2-2 and going back to the Bay Area. |

That’s what they did today, but if they run PNR, then someone will be open. The quality of the shot depends on how fast we close |

| I think the winner of game 4 wins the series. The first team that wins two in a row wins 90% of series. |

Winner of game 3 in a 1-1 series wins 73% |

This. We are getting their best shot in game 4 for sure. Everyone knows they go down 3-1 they are not coming back. Lakers to talented and experienced unlike the Kings up 2-0. |

| Let Curry get his for most of the game. If the game gets close late in 4th, trap his ass and let his teammates (other than Klay) try to make shots with no rhythm. |

No doubt that it will take hustle, grit, multiple defenders and elite defense, once again, just to slow him down.
If we can defend at a high level, control the boards and IF AD shows up, we'll be okay. |

| If Warriors win game 4 they will go home thinking "we got this". Must win and erode their confidence. Doubt will creep in if they go down 3-1. |

Winning this game would make me believe a title is actually on the table. That's not just because it makes WCF so much more likely, but because we're playing a champion who knows they're on the ropes. Have to show we have the mettle to get this done!!!

100%. This is what Frank did Game 6 2020 NBA Finals. Miami helpless. Ball screen actions and give and go actions with Jimmy and Bam completely useless.

No way, they might start Jordan Poole though, in that case AD would have to guard DG and they can run the PNR again.
Starting Looney will allow lebron and AD to sit in the paint all night |
I dont think they would start Poole....its too high risk of a scenario when they can get the same similar spacing effect with JaMychal. They could do that to the guard heavy Kings lineup but against this size and skill with Poole's tendency for really good and really bad games....too high a risk |
Sure start Poole, we'll eat him alive; his BBIQ is suspect & his defense is non-existent  |
They have less levers to pull, but I can absolutely see this because AD cants guard him outside. The goal is to get AD to guard DG so they can run the curry PNR, but obviously they give up more size by playing this lineup. |
I think now our adjustment should be to bench Vando and start Rui and switch everything. That will be an adjustment they dont see coming and I really see it working for us. Draymond switched onto anyone wont kill us but him rolling downhill on a 4 v 3, unless AD continues to demonstrate handsy skills that blows up their pick and roll - which is a high risk strategy - can cause problems for us. I want a sustainable defense, not one relying on Warriors shooters to miss wide open shots. |

They are going to come out with a lot of energy and try to bury us early in this next game
Don’t get sucked into the three-point contest we need to play our game and keep it close and then take it at the end |

Yes, I expect the Warriors to come out firing from the 3. At this point I think they realize it's the only way to beat us.

Don't underestimate those guys and keep the pressure on.
Kerr is 5-1 in series where he trailed 2-1. |

Hell of a record.
Also, with their trio healthy (Steph, Klay, Draymond) I believe theyve gone to 6 straight finals (Klay down 2 seasons before last).
Super challenge. Really need to be ready for their discipline, focus and energy.
