Someone mentioned in the game thread and I thought it was a real interesting comment about the matchup of Draymond vs Brunson. I can't remember who said it. The more I have thought about it, the more I think it could be the key to the series.
Smart for Kerr as he may think the same thing. He is saying, I am going to put my best defender on Brunson and try to limit what he does best in getting into the lane. It is a masterful move imo. From game 1, it seems like at this point they are fine giving Jalen 5-10 open threes a game. He needs to hit them.
For Jalen, can he get to his spots and shoot over a taller Draymond? If Jalen can't make or won't take open threes, then GS has an elite defender who can play centerfield when Luka has the ball.
It is a fascinating chess move that could very well tell the outcome of the series.
For tonight, I would like to see a little less impact from Looney in game 2. That is a tough thing to get when they beat us bad in the center minutes. I would also like to see Curry and Poole gone after repeatedly on defense. Lastly, this GS team is battle tested, but I would like to show them tonight that this series will not be a walk in the park where they will be strutting through it.
