I am as optimistic as they come about this season. But I still see us as being easy to defend.
I think teams will start out man and see if Curry is going to hurt them. If he comes to play then the opposition switches to zone and then our problems begin. I haven't seen any of the preseason games so correct me if I'm wrong.

I would start with a zone and make Curry prove he can score in the paint. If he is successful, I would double him, because he is a bad passer, and he hardly ever passes.

Knicks have no shooters, I'd clog the paint and force them to make some jumpers. If it takes them a while to get hot, a lead may have opened up, which adds additional pressure on them.

ditto to that-

Also, teams historically have had success when they press & trap us- our passing skills are weak until proven otherwise.
