Guarding Stephen Curry Is Hell, Says Austin Reaves
āItās honestly hell,ā Reaves said on All The Smoke. āJust the way he moves without the ball. Itās honestly their system, too. It fits him to perfection. You literally canāt ever relax.ā
āI remember Game 1 and 2, chasing him and Klay around, and I couldnāt make a shot. Everybodyās looking at me like, āWhy canāt you make a shot?ā Iām like āI aināt got no legs,'ā he added.
āHis approach to the game too is special,ā Reaves continued. āJust the way that he sees the game and the way he goes about the game. It was a lot of fun to play them. Obviously, happy we won. But nah, it was hell to guard him.ā
