Teams did that when KD was on the Warriors too. Steph getting hot was a quicker L than KD getting hot.

They have to double Steph to let KD drop 35 instead of doubling KD and let Steph drop 50. 😵‍💫

truly the hardest road

Let's put some respect on KD too here. If you double Steph you have a chance at impacting his shot and a good chance at making him pass it away, maybe something happens on the pass. Curry absolutely can murder you, and has done it to many, but he can also cough up turnovers or be forced off the ball.

If you double KD he takes the same shot he always takes.

IIRC it was a fastbreak KD getting a free layup while Steph was doubled at the 3 point line. It was a miscomm about defensive schemes, but still pretty freaking nuts.

[u/Npsiii23 → u/owlbi]

Ehh, this isn't really correct though. Curry can absolutely get careless with the ball passing, but, KD hasn't been able to figure out what to do out of a double, yet.

It's still one of his biggest weaknesses.

KD is far worse at deal with doubles than Steph is

[u/Mintastic → u/owlbi]

If you double KD he takes the same shot he always takes.

Nah, if KD has lesser teammates then they will absolutely double him and it works (see: playoffs before and after the Warriors).

Warrior was never good enough for a back to back, not without KD

[u/ProfessorXWheelchair → u/Majestic_Square_1814]

only good enough to win two ships without him, i’ll take it

[u/Majestic_Square_1814 → u/ProfessorXWheelchair]

Yeah, just good enough. With KD they became a great team and was pushing for a three peat
