Meant to reply to this in earlier post.
Interesting point comparing GSW to that Rams team. Patriots(in addition to cheating by possibly having tape of rams walkthrough) slowed them down by jamming the receivers at the the line...neutralizing their speed advantage. Thunder's scheme of not switching on pick'n'rolls, throwing an athletic big(SA) on Curry, and the refs limiting the illegal screens has slowed the fluid movement of the Warriors. It worked and has slowed down GSW. That small ball stuff only works if they have a lead....otherwise you can exploit their lack of size.

I hope Coach Donovan has another trick up his sleeve because I think refs will call the game so that the NBA has a big payday in a Memorial Day game 7.
