He’ll hound Steph. Need him to keep on hitting those corner threes, Schroeder also needs to step up offensively this series. I’m sure he’ll bring the energy on the defensive end as well.

Different assignment for sure. Curry relies heavily on screens. Vando needs to have the ability to fight through them.

I feel like Vando is the perfect Steph defender. He is 6’9 and lengthy. Fast af and can move through screens very well. Plus he has a exceptional motor.
Adam2190
He might be the x factor this series, tracking down some of those offensive boards that Looney was feasting on.
Beautiful-Doubt69
He can handle Ja and he’ll handle Steph
Danny_III
He’s going to be wide open all series long. Warriors are one of the few teams that dare bad shooters to shoot and stick to the game plan even if they’re hitting
animosity07
how the hell are we gonna hide dlo tho that is what worries me the most
VeNeM
I don’t think he guards steph. Ja can’t shoot, steph can launch from anywhere and drive on you also.

The Lakers won’t see another defense like the Griz again, well at least not in the West. Time for them to cook. Also the rebounding advantage that the Warriors had will not be the same against the Lakers.
animosity07
fck it just trap curry and klay let wiggins score he has a 17pt cap anyway
sasisasino
The way Looney rebound, we must go big when Looney is on
Gloyaltie
Whoever is guarding him at any point in the game has to be prepared to run the entire time. No ball watching.
velphegor666
Him and dennis are gonna be key. Perimeter defense is going to be the name of the game this series
mikeytlive
Whatever the lakers have is sure better what the kings threw at him lol
brahminAK47
I heard people saying Vando isn’t good at navigating through screens and defending off ball actions. He’s an on ball defender.
mo3mon3y
there is no way Vando will be on Curry like that we gonna have to switch. Curry runs around like a mad man. Vando as good as a defender is not as fast as curry to chase him
3xperimental
Doubt he will be Curry’s primary defender. Maybe in spurts but Schroeder should defend curry more especially since they love screening
Zachkah
I don’t see him hounding Steph like the comments are saying. Steph is too fast. This is a series for Dennis if I’ve ever seen one because he can navigate screens about as good as anyone.
INT_MIN
I don’t think he’ll be used much this series. Liability on offense that the Warriors will keep open in the corner, will not want him on Curry. Rather see DS on Curry.
danrod17
You guys are hilarious. Curry is going to cook. It’s going to be a really tough matchup.
gleophas
Need him for klay and wiggins.. curry gonna go off no matter what it’s the misc players that lakers gonna have to shut down..
hellokitty2469
Vando shroder and reaves hopefully will be enough to limit him
Pay4Convenience
Vando is not gonna be guarding Curry. There is no way he’ll survive 30 minutes of fighting through all the screens they throw for Steph.
Gonna be interesting to see what Ham cooks up for this round.
AD is gonna feast though.
skyzas
Shroeder on Steph.
Reaves on Klay.
Vando on Wiggins.
Steph will score anyways but Shroeder is great on fast guards like Ja. Let Vando shut down someone that can be shut down, Wiggins.

I like the two headed beast of Vando/Rui. Vando to help lockdown, frustrate, and tire the starters initially, especially a superstar like Steph, Luka, or Booker, and then Rui being that microwave bench scorer like Vinnie Johnson or Manu.

He just needs to limit his fouls and reach ins. Refs are sensitive to ticky tack fouls.
