  • I think the warriors problems is that they have a bunch of ‘good’ players but not enough ‘great’ players right now. Steph is still Steph but he doesn’t have one person who’s playing at an all star level, not even close. However the team’s depth is very good. Once GP2 and Draymond get back, there’s is going to be at least one quality rotation player who won’t play.

    This is a very unique problem for the Warriors, they’ve been playing well during the non-Steph minutes (net rating of +2.9 when he’s off), but not nearly as good in the Steph minutes (-.8) as they have in the past.




  • Ignoring my obvious bias, I think there’s a few aspects of CP3 that are going unrecognized. Everyone is worried about him starting or not but regardless the 5 man lineup where it’s the main 4 plus CP3 won’t get a lot of minutes. Even the original “death” lineup only got around 10-12 mpg together. What CP3 brings more than anything is hopefully some stability when Steph isn’t on the floor and allows Steph and Draymond to match minutes more (which is absolutely huge if that ends up being the case), and allows for overall more lineup flexibility since now they have another playmaker that they didn’t have last year.
