I don't think the Warriors as a whole (that includes Draymond and Klay) were ever that great defensively to begin with.
Outstanding offensive team, maybe the best offence ever with Durant? Sure.
Defence though? C'mon. They played D for some stretches but that's about it.

Re: "The whole world knows Stephen Curry can't play f--king defense" - Mav Carter
wow never realised the Warriors entire starting lineup + Iggy was NBA all team defense in 2015-2016. Barnes was good on defense and made the 2016 team usa as well. i suppose it makes sense why they would hide Curry in the corner, they did a great job camouflaging his weaknesses Originally Posted by scuzzy

A couple of errors here but hey accepting info without checking is to be expected of lemmings isn't it? Originally Posted by scuzzy

If one is a believer in the saying that the best defense is a great offense and think 3 dimensionally then the player who made the defense possible was—wait for it—Curry!

Easy offense leads to focusing on defense. That is why LeBron always has the best defensive teams. Originally Posted by Stephonit

Didn't do him a favor on more than half of his finals appearances though. Originally Posted by Monta Ellis MVP

kyrie came down the court licking his lips every time he saw curry in front of him. you could practically hear him laughing at steph's feeble defense. Originally Posted by Stanley Kobrick

i'll never forget that play when Stephen was screaming at Klay to guard Kyrie, he was really upset and nervous he had to guard him Originally Posted by red1

Stan's obsessed isn't he? Curry has been seared into his psyche. Originally Posted by Stanley Kobrick

You're saying it was a mistake to pass to Korver? But I thought the lesser player didn't make mistakes? Originally Posted by LAmbruh

i'm actually quite surprised Kerr even kept Stephen in on defense during the final possessions. usually he subs him out for being a defensive liability, as we saw on christmas that year Originally Posted by LAmbruh
