Teams are going to try to follow the Thunder and Cav's blueprint--Play the Warriors physically and trap HARD on the pick and rolls. The Warriors also didn't address their rebounding issues during the off-season as well. If teams can switch on everything and still kill the board will probably have the best chance.
Wouldn't be surprised if this years Warriors team wins at least 65 games.

Am I the only one who thinks KD and Curry switched shorts?
That's what I would do as well. Make Draymond try to score. Waiters did fine on him while Dray tried to bully him on the block and it ended well for the defense.

Assuming the Warriors go Curry-Thompson-Iguodala-Durant-Draymond, then I would match up with Bradley-Smart-Thomas-Crowder-Horford respectively.
I'm switching everything that's not Curry-Draymond pick and roll, in which case I'm doubling Curry and forcing Draymond to finish over the top.

But what happens when Draymond gets a PG on the block? What if the center and/or power forward is sitting on the perimeter because of the switching?

And the dude that shoots 39% so lets call it 4 guys who shoot 40%.I've been trying to figure where the help D is gonna come from.
They're starting three dudes who can shoot 40% from deep on very high volume... In an offense that hunts threes.
I don't know man.
Where is the help coming from???

This is me assuming dray is still playing the 4. But I'd throw a PG on him and make him beat me on the block. It beats giving up an open 3.
It would at least solve the 1-4 pick and rolls. Pretty sure every coach in the west is trying to figure this out too.
Utah has the personnel to switch everything too

IDK man, a PG on Dray in the block is bbq chicken. You can't roll with that gameplan, especially if the Warriors are clamping down on the other end.

The Pistons can trot out a decent lineup too. KCP defended Curry as well as anyone last season. Just a matter of Drummond-Harris matching their defensive potential.

Dray wasn't turning them PGs in the Olympics into BBQ chicken.

Back and Ready for the season fellas.
Was in and out in the offseason, too much crazyness.
But we ready!!
Is it true Drummond dropped 20 lbs this summer? Musta shaved the back hair/body fro
Steph looking kinda svelte and bulky. Looks like he been working out with Barry bonds if you catch my drift
This is what I was asking. Sounded like an ESPN or bill Simmons concoction/reach
How the hell do you stop this 1&3 P&R with Klay on the opposite side :x
Easy. Just convince kd that it's a must win game. He'll take care of the rest himself
It is funny reading these comments on the warriors tho. There was a legit conversation last season that kd wouldn't fit on their squad and they wouldn't be nearly as good. Times have changed

Oh, i'm sure Haralabob has already figured it out, but he'll just keep it to himself.

It's crazy that if mayo wasn't on his rapper steeze, he'd probably start and be in line for a big pay day.

If only TA was AT LEAST average on the perimeter, the Grizz would have a good defensive lineup. I guess it could still work, but he would have to be the only non floor spacer on the floor to make it happen
Conley / TA / Parsons / Gasol would be a nice lineup to put out there. Maybe throw Ennis in there or Green (if he extended his range this summer like mentioned). What hurt us so much last time was trying to play TA with Zbo and Marc
