Vs Westbrook: The blur is a one man fast break, will break your ankles and then finish on your bigs. Dribbling the ball around him is dangerous, he'll pick your pocket. Watch out because he's a passing lanes thief as well.
A career 30% three point shooter who took a career high 300 last year. This means you can still play him a step or two back. Be prepared for shots to fly, he averaged 18.7 last season along with seven free throws per contest. 617 of his shots came from within seven feet and he shot 54% on those. From everywhere else Russell went 369-901 which equates to 41%. Make him a jump shooter.
Vs Sefolosha: This lockdown defender is adept at stripping the ball from players on their way up for a shot. He also happens to be a short porch specialist.
Sefalosha doesn't have any mid range game taking only 62 shots from between seven feet and the three point line. So play up tight on him behind the line and don't even think for a second if he dribbles it by you that he's going anywhere else but the rim. 142 shots came inside seven feet, he made 96 @ 68%. Watch for the post fade if he does post you up. Where Thabo does his real damage from is the land of plenty. Especially from the right short porch (33-62 @ 53%) last year. From the left side of the three point arc he shot 45-103 @ 44%. From the rest he went a plain 32- 94 @ 34%.
Vs Durant: The second best player in the NBA, who doesn't get his shot bothered by defenders. Is adept at creating his own shot and knocking it down. As well as finishing around the basket. He's a microwave who usually saves his best for the fourth quarter.
17.7 shots per contest last season. Believe it or not you have to make Kevin go left where he only shoots 50% (278-560). If he takes you to his strong hand he unbelievably shoots 56% (374-670). These numbers reflect the entire court. His weak link offensively surprisingly comes from dead straight, shooting 38-105 @ 36% from the top of the key. From the top of the key three he shot 35-89 @ 39%. Dare him from these localities any chance you get.
Vs Ibaka: The league leader in blocks two years running. He is the anchor of the defense and a put back specialist to boot.
Offensively he'll face you up. Serge has developed a jump shot and isn't afraid to use it. Last season he shot 168-329 @ 51% on jumpers alone. Keep him outside seven feet if you know what's good for you. Last season he dominated the inside shooting 233-331... that's 70!%. He can even hit the right short porch three going 9-16 @ 56% last year. If your going to let him shoot make sure it's from the left elbow where he only managed 25-59 @ 42%. There is one area he does struggle from and that's from seven to fourteen feet in the paint (19-59 @ 32%).
Vs Perkins: The screen setter from hell.
Keep him out of the paint by doing your work early and forget about him. If he's roaming offensively anywhere near the elbows double team someone else. Same thing goes for any of their trucks off the bench. Don't forget to rim run all day.
Know your coaches: Scott Brooks is going to run, look for early offense at every opportunity and try to get his shots from as close as possible. Get back on D and stack the middle. Every Warrior aught to make a concious effort to know where the help defense is coming from against the Thunder. Spacing and ball movement will be key to victory every time the Warriors play the Thunder. One more for the road, the OKC Thunder do not play any zone defense.
