So decidedly losing the early battle for competitive edge isn’t the only factor that doomed the Golden State Warriors’ spirited yet arduous comeback efforts against the Denver Nuggets on Friday. Draymond Green and Klay Thompson were playing under a load restriction, notching 27 minutes and 24 minutes of court time, respectively. Their ongoing ramp up […]

The most ballyhooed lineup in the NBA barely got on the floor last season as the Larry O’Brien Trophy hung in the balance, notching just 10 total minutes in the NBA Finals.

However, there are more than a few teams that are expected to mount a serious challenge against Stephen Curry and Co., and one of them happens to be the Los Angeles Clippers.

Stephen Curry wasn’t always a stalwart defender. Size prevents him from being a true difference-maker on that end, and there are still times he’s targeted in pick-and-roll again and again—occasionally with great success—by opposing star ball handlers.
