Jan 05 home 99-82 W - no Kristaps, no Klay - Dirk Jersey Retirement
Jan 25 away 92-130 L - no Draymond - game THJ got hurt in Q2
---- KP trade ---
Feb 28 away 107 -101 W - no Klay, Draymond - 21pt comeback victory
Mar 04 home 122-113 W - no Maxi, no Draymond
so it's hard to compare these games with Warriors never being at full strength
Draymond changes everything. Klay also changes everything. GSW shouldn't be taken lightly. Thankfully they don't have one of the best SF to ever play the game flanking the best shooter ever and probably the 2nd best shooter ever now.
Best gameplan should be to make Draymond take every single shot
Adding onto this, I wonder if Kidd is going to take from his strategy he implemented against the Suns in games 3-7 against CP3 with Steph. Making Steph defend PnR after PnR should wear him down. Steph also isn't nearly as crafty as CP3 on defense.
14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.
