You cannot put LeBron on Durant and risk getting him into foul trouble and, worse, physically taxing him. He'd be exhausted halfway through the series.
I think the strategy that Lue and his staff will devise will be to have LeBron again shut down Green's playmaking and keep throwing guys at Durant to defend him the best you can. If he goes for 30-40, so what, it's the rest of that offense finding rhythm that makes them unstoppable.
The key is to goad Durant into becoming a chucker and not getting Steph/Klay involved.
I still think Tucker would have been a more sensible get than Korver and I'm as big a pessimist as you'll find but series is not lost. There is A LOT to be said for Curry and Durant's lack of clutch and the LeBron factor.
We have to get Kevin mean and motivated, and a healthy JR sure would be nice.
