We just went icecold from three yet somehow still managed to keep it close for quite a while.He was doubled in the paint all game long. This was possible as we did not hit the early open shots from 3, where they doubled Luka and he passed it out when he saw the double team.
Luka looked like a shadow of himself all night. They really found a way to impact him in the post though with timely double teams right when he began to turn. Looney also really pressured him on the perimeter early on, Luka got by him seminglessly but they really made it difficult once again there too when he got into the paint.
Once the shots fall from 3, GSW will not be able to double in the paint.
THis is the strategy from GSW: double the paint, let the perimeter open. Let other guys than Luka beat you.
It worked in game 1. But will not work every time, that's for sure.
