  1. That was someone of the best defense on Curry you can get.

    Steph will do Steph, and there can be more adjustments for those screens, but he was co-MVP with AD with that defense he played today.

  2. KSmooove

    Elite defense on Curry. As soon as he went out in the 4th the Warriors went on their big run until he came back in. Casuals just see his offense not his huge defensive impact.

    Jarred vanderbilt is steph curry father

    Love you Vando.

    When Ham took Vando out Curry went hot again in the 4th leading to a 10-0 run. His impact doesn’t show up on stat sheets, but we need him

  5. Jeanlucpfrog

    We thought he could only do wing defense. Nah, he proved us wrong. D’d up Curry šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤šŸ˜¤

  6. Hashtagworried

    Dude was practically curryā€™s annoying shadow tonight.

  7. GovTheDon

    Jobs not finished, get some rest gunna need to maintain that effort

    Vando is so good on defense it completely counters how useless he is in offense and heā€™s still legit.

  9. 3rdPlaceYoureFired

    The three and the dunk was just the icing on the cake. Great job

  10. K0CKULEES

    Steph is such a goddamn beast that no matter how well you play him he is gonna get his. Take that into consideration and they did a solid job of keeping him contained.

  11. booty_sweat_juice

    Screen navigation was insane, even with the blatant moving screens. All-Defensive type shit today.

  12. AndThenSheAssMeh

    And Darvin takes you out. Damn with these decisions, Darvin. And call a time out for christ’s sake!

  13. That Vando block on Looney and 3 pointer on the other end was tuf

    My new nickname for Vanderbilt: Elmer
    Dude was Elmerā€™s Glue on Curry bruh!
    Every time Curry had the ball with Vanderbilt on him I was like ā€œcā€™mon Elmerā€™s shut him downā€

  15. dmoola_3016

    DLo and Reaves get distracted and Vandos length is huge when heā€™s trailing Steph

  16. No-Equipment-20

    Listened to a ton of scouting stuff on this series and it seems the general consensus was ā€œthis probably isnā€™t a Vanderbilt series, his screen navigation is poor so he canā€™t guard Steph or Klayā€. Glad that Vandy is proving he can defend one of the toughest assignments in the NBA

    I want him to be a Purple and Gold forever

    Locked Steph down all night until Darvin Ham took him out in the 4th and Steph went on a 10-0 run by himself

  19. The whole defence locked down on the Warriors in the paint. Vando did a great job on Curry and even hit that corner 3.

  20. goblinking67

    If Vanderbilt does what he did tonight, the Lakers win the series. Play that defense, and do what he did on offense. Hit at least 1 three (no more than 3 maybe 4 attempts) to keep them honest or make them pay for not. Grab a couple offensive boards and get one bucket off an offensive rebound. Get one bucket pushing the pace in transition most likely with LeBron. Get to the foul line once and hit one of them. Sprinkle in a few assists and thatā€™s a winning formula.

    I never seen anyone block curryā€™s floater that was something

    Not once did I ever doubt the Vandalorian’s defensive prowess. All he needs to do is stop fouling so much. Less fouls = more time on Curry = less shots made.

  24. Anyone notice how many butt bumps or ā€œaccidentalā€ kick balls Vando did after a make? He finally got called for delay late in 4th. Stopped them from running. Hilarious, high iq.
