"Per ESPN Stats and Information, Russell Westbrook is 8-of-25 FG with 7 turnovers when Steph Curry is his primary defender in this series."

The reason Curry's not on him full time is because Westbrook is allowed to dive into defenders on drives and get fouls called. Plus, you never leave the best offensive player in the world on a guy like Westbrook full time. Not even Jordan guarded his match up full time if the opposing player was a star.

Steph said himself the reason Klay guards Westbrook more is because Klay is a better defender.

Damn...haters avoided this thread.

This is misleading... It doesn't account the times Curry guarded WB 1 on 1, many of those possessions Westbrook blew by Curry and was met by someone else in the paint, like Thompson and Green and Bogut.

Curry got burned 1 v 1 and watched WB run by him in transition for layups/dunks.

Westbrick barely ever burns anyone without his illegal screen buddy Adams.

No one can stay in front of Westbrook you dumbass. He was crossing Klay over and over last night in an off game.

If Curry wants to accept the challenge of forcing Westbrook to shoot 8-25 for an entire game, I got Curry shooting 6-30 on the other end because he won't have any energy whatsoever

What a simplistic reading of things. Westbrook was causing havoc for GS cos he kept blowing by Steph and getting easy buckets or fouls for himself and others..

Picking up the slack for Warriorfan while he's out?

Justin stop. Bad Justin.

Not sure how they determine coverage.

Westbrook and Durant were blowing by their primary defenders all night long, and flying to the rim...where they were met by Bogut and Green. They were throwing up some very questionable shots down the lane. I assume that they were hoping to get foul calls, but nonetheless, they were poor shots.

Also, ...what in the hell did the Warriors put on the floor last night? I have never seen so many players slipping-and-sliding all over the floor in my life.

Gods don't bleed. Curry meanwhile, has periods.

Curry doesn't play defense, though.

He just gets a few steals a game...despite being a net positive on that end ALL year.
