Game Thread: more minutes for Thompson and Green
...and err, more Ty Jerome
It's game time as the Golden State Warriors host the Miami Heat! It’s game five, but the stakes are high(ish).
Per coach Steve Kerr, we are going to start seeing the promised ramp up of minutes for Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
Klay Thompson’s minutes will be bumped up to around 27 tonight, per Kerr. Draymond Green in the 30 range.
Also, Kerr likes what he’s seen. They talked about “positional fit” when they made the signing.
Starting lineup was +12 in about 18 minutes. They continue to overwhelm opponents.
Also the new bench unit Poole/Moody/Wiggins/JMG/Looney so far has a +5.9 net rating in 8 minutes. 8 minutes is nothing, but still off to a better start than basically every other second unit they've tried.
Morning quiz:
What do these three people have in common?
