    Default How many teams can counter the Warriors small ball lineup of death?

    The Key is that you have to be able to switch the Curry and Draymond pick and roll and have your rim protector/rebounder able to guard Harrison Barnes. Obviously not perfect, but stlll works good enough to keep the game close. This works because Draymond only scores when he's wide open and Curry is "neutralized" by the defender that was guarding Draymond.

    Obviously the Warriors are still elite so it doesnt guarantee a win. But the Warriors were unable to completely dominate their opponent with this lineup like they use to.

    Thunder had Durant and the Cavs had Lebron who can both protect the rim and switch everything. But which other teams can counter?

    Basically any team that has a SF big/fast/strong enough to play the 4 and still guard Steph on the switch.

    Bron, Durant, Kawhi (Spurs), PG13 (Pacers), Celtics, maybe even Paul Millsap and Gordon Hayward.
