4. Make Curry work, all the time
We touched on this a little bit in the second point about getting physical with the “Splash Brothers”, but Stephen Curry cannot be allowed to catch his breath, ever. The Cavs will need to be hands-y with him on and off the ball and get him matched up defensively with someone he has to pay attention too (and if he isn’t make him switch onto someone so he is).
When Curry struggled in the Oklahoma City series, many wondered if he was hurt. But, he went back to his old self seemingly overnight at the end of the series. Curry wasn’t hurt, he was just worn down from dealing with the endless energy of Russell Westbrook, dealing with Andre Roberson’s relentless defense at the other end, and getting bruised on every Steven Adams screen.
