I spent the 4th Qtr wondering what the E1P would feature....Dray Defense?, OurGuyJuan Offense??, Wiggs all around game???, Steph just because he's Steph????....Keep up the fun EA
Warriors have arguably the best bench in the NBA . . . and that's before Poole gets moved to the bench with Klays return. Add in the raw potential/development of Kuminga/Wiseman/Moody at the end of our bench . . . they have far more explosive potential than other bench players (who are more consistent but can't get hot and begin pouring in points like our youths).
When Klay gets back, I think rotating rest days might be the only chance Kerr has to keep guys happy with rotation minutes.
As I said in the game thread, if you give Steph and Klay 30 minutes each, and drop Poole to 25, that leaves 11 minutes for GP2 and none for Lee or Moody.
Front court will have Wiggins, Dray, Looney, Bjelly, Porter, JTA and Wiseman competing for minutes, but what about Kuminga?
I think he'll start right away, so I assume you are talking about by the playoffs? Might be possible, I'm not a doctor, but this guy who is thinks 25 might be more realistic.
I just wonder whether Kerr will mix and match game to game, no one outside of Curry, Dray, Wiggs gets regular minutes and maybe even comes down to rest and matchups
I for one am looking forward to more games where two or more starters (plus Iguodala) get a rest and the Warriors' youth movement plus grinders show other teams what they're made of. I mean, maybe it's not the spectacle that Draymond+Curry deliver on a nightly basis, but the potential is still sky-high and the mystery factor is so much greater.
It helps when the team has so many wins that they can afford to do that.
I think Kerr’s in the enviable position of being able to tinker/tailor lineups endlessly, perhaps even into the early rounds of Playoffs. Standard Disclaimer/ Player Health Allowing
You probably have to have a PHD in cosmology (something Draymond has) to fully understand the impact Curry's gravity has on the offensive side of the court. Can anyone remember one play in the finals against CLE, 2 on 1 gsw fastbreak, Curry teammate has ball on a straight drive to hoop while Curry veers off to spot up left side 3 point line. The defender LEFT the ball, chose to guard the empty-handed Curry while Curry teammate walked into an unguarded layup. Maybe #1 on my list for the power of Curry.
Pretty much the same thing happened in the 16-17 Finals when Kevin freakin Durant was coming down the lane on a fastbreak and Lebron/JR were STILL worried about Steph at the 3pt line
You mean the one where "Curry Teammate" was some Kevin guy who got called a cupcake by his old fans? yeah it was pretty awesome seeing him earn a finals MVP with a thesis in gravity-assisted launch maneuvers.
Always hoped that Durant would buy completely into Curry - let’s “toy” with the game - mode and the Warriors utterly flatten the League, not that what they accomplished wasn’t a thing of beauty

I’m starting to get worried. Mrs. Goofus has become a fan of E1P’s and laughs at Apricot’s jokes more than mine.

And none of this includes minutes for Iggy.

Klay, Iguodala, Dray, OPJ are all going to get plenty of rest days, and maybe Steph & Looney. And there will be injuries too. It will be ok.
Klay's not going to get 30 minutes a night given his injury history, it'll be closer to 20
I’m talking about at whatever point he’s starting again. At that point, you think Klay’s going to be satisfied with 20 minutes? (I don’t.)
I think he'll start right away, so I assume you are talking about by the playoffs? Might be possible, I'm not a doctor, but this guy who is thinks 25 might be more realistic.

When everyone’s100%, I think Klay and Poole will get regular minutes
Can you believe you’re saying best bench in the NBA after the past two seasons
