When playing against the Golden State Warriors, even a first-year coach would understand that his (or her) team’s chances of scoring on a possession go up exponentially when going at former NBA MVP, Stephen Curry.
I mean, when Golden State’s lineup of Curry, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green are on the floor (a.k.a., the Hamptons 5), it should be a no-brainer. Curry, of course, understands this entirely.
When asked after practice on Friday about the possibility of the Houston Rockets targeting him defensively over the course of the 2018 Western Conference Finals, Curry stressed that he remains confident in his ability to do what he can on defensive end despite being well aware of his defensive shortcomings.
