The Golden State Warriors have only lost one playoff series under head coach Steve Kerr in the last 3 years. A major reason for this is they have the versatile personnel and brilliant strategies to adapt to whatever their opponent throws at them. They remind me of the T-1000 death robot in the “Terminator II” movie; constantly threat assessing and shapeshifting to deliver a lethal response.
In Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors did just that to the Houston Rockets. After the Rockets won Game 2 in large part by embarrassing Stephen Curry on the defensive end, tortured the Rockets in isolation, much in the same manner they had hoped to do to him.
