For the life of me why is AD allowing Green to push him all the way out to the 3 point line to get the ball when they are trying to isolate him in the post? Also, on the few occassions where AD has good post position, instead of going over the top of Green, AD tries to go around him which forces him to throw up some circus type shot. AD should be killing Green in the post on those isolation plays. AD has like 3-4 inches over Green and more athletic as well. I just don't get it. Maybe some of y'all can fill me in.

green seems to be athletic enough to keep up with AD and force those circus shots and he is also much stronger that AD which is why AD gets pushed out of the lane in iso situations. on top of that green is playing very agressively with a chip on his shoulder.

AD needs to finish developing his hook shot. The rare occasions he pulls it out it looks great, he just doesn't try it enough, especially over smaller defenders.

This.
Green has been playing AD very physically. All of the Warriors have been handsy off ball on AD and our shooters. It's playoff basketball and hopefully we adjust to the extra contact and grabbing. This is why just making the playoffs is so important this year. We need this kinda of experience. Need to learn first hand what it is expected to win in April, May, and June.

Agree with the physicality comments. Remember in the first game GS had Bogut sagging off Asik to "double" AD when, or if, AD was able to shake Green. That is respect and good coaching. AD needs to be as physical as he can and take it to Green. Try to get him in foul trouble. Be prepared to throw it out and reset if you have to. AD is good enough to adjust his game.
