Can the Warriors Defy the Odds and Thrive Without Steph Curry?
The Timberwolves are playing two traditional big men for good portions of the game and the Warriors need to leverage their quick processing skills to put Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle and Naz Reid in unfavorable situations.
A lot of teams have tried to take on these players in isolation, but the Timberwolves are ready for that.
Gobert is a better isolation defender than commonly thought. Yes, Luka Doncic punked him a bunch, but that’s true of just about every big who’s ever switched on him. And the Timberwolves are one of the best teams in the league at helping without committing to a full double team and rotating when necessary behind the play.
