Stephen Curry is the most revolutionary player in the NBA. He is also the most important player for the Dubs having reached the NBA Finals on five consecutive occasions and is the favorite to win his first finals MVP award. He has been leading the league in offensive efficiency for years now.

It is imperative that the Raptors manage to restrict Steph in this series. Curry is coming off an unbelievable Western Conference Finals in which he averaged 36.5 points per game on a true shooting percentage of 66%.

Klay Thompson and Draymond Green were also superb for the Warriors. The Raptors need to disrupt the rhythm of Green because he impacts the game so much with his unlimited energy. The Raptors need to be on their toes on the defensive end and they need to switch quickly to the Warriors' shooters and prevent them from having open shots.
