PLAYOFFS WCF: #3 GSW (4-1) vs #4 DAL (1-4)

Warriors played it smart. They gave Luka a lane and directed him into the help defender. Allowing Wiggins to play close and contest the step back. Help defense shadowing the play and taking away the rim. At times it almost looked like a zone.
If the Mavs cannot punish the Warriors from three they will continue to pressure Luka. Reminds me of LBJ in 2015.
Desperately need shooting from DFS, Maxi and Bullock. And of course Luka can also play a lot better.

I think the most interesting coaching move so far is the Green/Brunson matchup. Kerr identified something many of us have pointed out in the past. Brunson isn´t a willing spot up shooter. Allowing Green to play free safety.

Brunson is going to have to pull the trigger.  He was 40% on catch and shoot this season, and 42 on wide open looks.  He has to take and make those shots.  Its one of the most important aspects of playing with Luka.
