Holdup so whats the starting lineup looking like?

No Klay Thompson starting? I wonder if he is going to stay the season or take offers elsewhere?

Maybe they could run a 3 guard system...:francis:



I was going to say Klay saved many a games.
Why wouldn't Klay start?

I'm conflicted about this. On one hand, I'll be witnessing very likely the greatest team ever assembled in basketball history. On the other hand, the league is a wrap competitively for a few years, and Durant is a bytch.

Their bench got significantly weaker tho...ill be surprised if they win more than 65

Since when is Durant a SG??? Starting lineup was always going to be

Curry
Klay
KD
Draymond
Zaza

I dont watch NBA tv and other shyt during the off season so im not sure where all this "bench is to weak for the Warriors to win more than 65 games" propaganda is coming from but I can assure yall that Barbosa is the only bench player that will be missed and that nikka is old. Durants scoring before he leaves the game will more than make up for any bench scoring that we lost.

Also, nikkas love pointing out that there is only one ball but that works out in our favor. Kerr has the flexibility to distribute minutes in a way where instead of having the entire team sit out the fourth quarter, he can insert Klay in with the bench players so not only do we keep fire power on the court but Klay can get all the shots he wants.

Stagger the lineup you mean. That's probably the best the to do over he course of the game anyway.

Bench is better imo.

Nah

Clearly y'all have a better overall starting lineup (even tho y'all will miss Bogut and his ability to set moving screens)

Your bench will improve as the season progresses but it's not better than last year's bench mob was

No consistent 3 point shooting from the bench, rebounding didn't improve. Bench is weaker than last year's team

You forgot to add Patrick McCaw (3 and D rookie),who looked great in summer league and Ian Clark, a three point specialist guard that has been on the team for 3 seasons. The only 3 point shooter we lost was Barbosa because Brandon Rush didnt get any playing time regardless. Ezeli isnt on the team anymore but he's out indefinitely after having knee surgery, he is Portland's problem now. Rebounding should improve not worsen, Zaza is a better rebounder than Bogut and Durant is a way better rebounder than Barnes.
