No more free rides for Steph on defense

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

1st round-injured Jrue and Reke
2nd round-injured Conley (who Klay started guarding after Conley lit Currys @zz up in game 2)
3rd round-injured Bev. He had to defend Terry and Prigioni who still lit him up in games

now he will have to defend JR or Kyrie more, less energy on offense since his stacked defense cant constantly be bailing him out like tonight. Tonight Klay, Iggy, Harrison and Ezeli played better than him, arguably Draymond too.

lets see how he does..............my guess GS wins title off what goes them here............DEFENSE AND being the most stacked/talented/deep team

Kyrie is like at 50% health though

He gets over a week rest luckily

[J Shuttlesworth]

The series has some interesting matchups, no doubt. I hope Kyrie is 100% or close to it, because he can't cover Curry if he's hobbled, and there really isn't anybody you can "hide" Kyrie on.

Reke is a tough guard for anyone in the league.

AMC will be at 100% health and unstoppable, brace yourself for FMVPAMC and completion of 2/6

Evans is tough to guard in ISO's and how is guarding a hobbled Irving and inconsistent JR Smith the toughest test ?

kyring will be close to 100

JR is a top 5 spot up shooter in the league. He was in NY too statistically. Steph cant gamble like he did this series leaving Prigioni and Jet wide open, JR will make him pay. Plus hes far more athletic than Steph and can drive on him, has the footspeed, strength and game off the dribble

Kyrie is fine now he destroyed the Hawks last game

[Im Still Ballin]

Irving will be fine

Curry will have to put in work

[AintNoSunshine]

Even Kyrie is injured... Talk about easy path, talk about voodoo

[imdaman99]

They will put him on Shump. Don't worry, they will find someone to hide him on. I have faith in Steve Kerr hiding his MVP's flaws.

Except they've hardly done that this year. That was a Mark Jackson thing.

Curry has played good defense all year long.

[longtime lurker]

Let Jr bomb away contested jump shots He'll shoot the Cavs right out of the game.

Curry cannot guard, and he will not be guarding Kyrie otherwise it's 4-0 Cavs

People have been saying this since the 1st round
