Analysis: All Eyes On Curry, But Watch Your Words Coach
OAKLAND (CBS Sports) -- Mark Jackson said what he said, and there's no taking it back now. Whether you agree or disagree, the goal has been accomplished: All eyes will be on Stephen Curry in Game 6 between the Golden State Warriors and Denver Nuggets on Thursday night.
Jackson had a point in that Curry was a marked man in Game 5, as he should have been. When you allow your opponent's best player to be as comfortable and contact-free as Curry was in Game 3 -- when he put on a show in the Warriors' 115-101 victory at home -- you have to make him feel your presence in the next game or you are going home yourself.
"Hitmen?" "Dirty plays?" A little overly dramatic, but Jackson has accomplished his goal and probably will be happy to pay the price - expect a $25,000 fine or more from the league office.
