Can the Warriors Defy the Odds and Thrive Without Steph Curry?
This is how the Warriors need to play when possible. Green has to be aggressive trying to get downhill when the opportunity presents itself. The Wolves will likely try to make Green beat them as a scorer and not help too aggressively when he gets penetration, but if he can cause enough problems in the initial action on possessions, the Warriors have enough shooting and basketball IQ to finish the play with high-quality shots.
It’s not just Green, either. The Wolves will try to get away with guarding the Warriors’ worst shooters with bigs, and those players have to be active. Gary Payton II shot well in Game 1 but the Wolves will try to make him beat them. Ditto for Kuminga when he’s in the game. Those players have to be active and purposeful without the ball.
