Hi All,
Latest post is up where I look at what offensive adjustments the Warriors are making without Stephen Curry and what defensive schemes teams can implement to stop it.

Nice depth, using the limited data from this season. I wonder though if past year data could have added support to your findings or shown other paths to success in this situation without Curry. He missed more time in past. I consider it relevant and not too moldy to be ruled out.

Thanks Crow.
The only reason I didn't look into last seasons data was because Draymond only averaged 3.7 assists last season vs 7.4 this season and I was going down the path of stopping Draymond as a play maker. You are right though, I should have taken a deeper look as it may have found something else that this seasons numbers didn't and last years numbers would be relevant as you said. I don't believe anything past the Kerr era would be all that relevant though. Last years misses may have found something more solid about Livingston for instance?

Perhaps. Yeah, last season was different but still relevant. Jackson era might if the focus was on evolution and coaching impact but not for current gaming.
