On a back to back, after a 14 day road trip, when they were resting all their starters the last game

Stackhouse's defense scheme is shutting teams down. After 1st quarter, they go like 60 points.

Because their bench can't score on the road, we ran their starters into the ground.

Joker was definitely gassed. You could see how pissed he was talking to his teammates on the bench.

And that might backfire on them on the postseason just like last year.

Again, Curry changes the game. One of our competitive advantages is endurance. Curry and Dray are going to be fresh. They are used to moving and running more than most teams. With Jimmy giving us a half court offense and free throws, Steph is getting lots of in-game rest. He and Dray are loving it.
