When looking at matchups, it’s always tempting to focus on something unique and under-the-radar. Something that may not be mentioned in the SportsCenter highlights, or talked about excitedly by the broadcasters in the opening minutes.
Like, will the Golden State Warriors bench, so packed with depth, yet so lackluster thus far, find success against the Washington Wizards’ biggest weakness, their borderline nonexistent reserves? Will Draymond Green bully Otto Porter Jr., forced to play up a position in the absence of Markieff Morris?
But instead, I’m going to focus on something much more banal: Stephen Curry vs John Wall.
