Show Notes

Andre Iguodala may have stolen the game and the show in Golden State Warriors’ Game 2 win against Portland Trail Blazers. But beat writers Dieter Kurtenbach and Mark Medina instead dissect the Warriors defensive performance in Game 2 against the Blazers to crush a notion of Draymond Green as the most overrated player in the NBA.

Defensive tactics don’t evolve as fast as offensive tactics, but ever since the Warriors started switching everything with Draymond Green-at-center lineups in Kerr’s first year as head coach, 2014-15, we’ve seen nearly every team in the league pick up the scheme.
