Can it be stopped? Not really. Can you beat it? Absolutely.
It's totally true that volume shooting threes is a viable tactic in the game, and that especially goes for teams that are built to play that style, which Golden State is.
If a user picks Golden State and knows how to get open shots, knows his releases, and knows how to play defense, he's going to win a lot -- and he SHOULD win a lot.
The three-point volume shooting + jacked up offensive rebounding is a very strong combination and some of the toughest players I've played against use it as their go-to strategy.
But it can be beaten.
It has two weaknesses which you must exploit to win:
1. Predictability. If your opponent is a volume three-point shooter then you pretty much know where he's going to be shooting from most of the time. Yes, the three-point line wraps all around the court but it's still a pretty small area compared with the totality of the basketball court.
Your job as the user is to manually contest as many of those shots as possible -- don't leave it up to your AI defenders. Get manually switched onto the primary defender before the shot and get a contest. If he isn't keeping you honest by putting the ball on the floor when you close out, don't be afraid to do a strong contest with the triangle button.
And if he's using a lot of off-ball screens and movement to create open shots, don't sit there staring slack-jawed at the screen being the "100 percent on-ball" guy. Switch to a help defender that can disrupt the play. If you disrupt the play even just once or twice, you can take people out of their rhythm and/or switch the game momentum.
2. Fast break points.
Teams that use the "chuck and board" strategy almost universally suck at defense, and especially fast break defense. Part of it is inherent to their playstyle -- a lot of the time people who go all-in on getting offensive rebounds are doing so because they're afraid of or bad at playing defense.
But it's also their sliders. When they jack up that rebounding slider they are giving you fast break opportunities every time they
don't get the board. If you want to win, you will take advantage of those opportunities.
If you try to walk the ball up the court, take 10 seconds to set up plays and slow things down, you are giving up the advantage that your opponent is giving you. Against those teams your ideal goal should be to score in transition off EVERY missed basket. Secure the rebound and don't fool around, push it up the court. Watch for where your wings are before the shot goes up so that you know what the best option for an outlet pass will be. Be merciless in throwing the ball ahead of the defense (L1 + R1)
when it is safe to do so, i.e. you have good separation and a good passing angle, and be aggressive in taking the ball to the hole.
If the initial break isn't there, look for secondary break chances -- that means finding mismatches created in transition and going at them HARD. Post up bigs against smalls; with smalls against bigs either shoot it when they sag or drive right at them if they don't. When you see an open shot, don't hesitate. Don't waste time and let the defense get set.
If you do this correctly, you will be getting dunks, layups, and and-ones consistently. That will get momentum on your side, especially at home. When the crowd gets pumped up, that brings down his 3-pt shooting percentage dramatically, and it will negate his offensive rebounding too, since that also depends greatly on momentum.

Execute in these two areas and assuming you are of a overall similar skill level, you will win, and your opponent will think
you cheesed
him.
