Reports from the Bay Area saying that the Warriors may actually be looking to start Chris Paul when the season kicks off. That means they could have a lineup of CP3, Steph, Klay, Wiggins, & Draymond out there. Besides never winning a tip again, I’d imagine they would be dominated on the boards by bigger teams but their 3 point shooting would be crazy. Will be interesting to see their first game.
Yeah, gonna be nice to see how CP3 will fit on the Warriors roster. Yeah, I know there is no Looney in the lineup, but I guess the Warriors wants to have a fresh start already since Jordan Poole has left and so their big 3 and now with the addition of CP3 as the point guard and it will relieved Curry of the duty as the point guard. And it might be good for him the long run.
But it still the question on how CP3 will play as we all know that he is no longer getting any younger and maybe be prone to injuries as well in this season. So we will see how the adjustments will be done by Steve Kerr with his new starting 5.
Small-ball lineup again, with no legitimate center, so they need to ensure their offense is very dominant. Since they are smaller, they are quicker as well and can easily switch or double-team the big men of their opponent to disrupt the shot. On paper, this doesn't look good, but the Warriors are adept at this. They have used this strategy and have won championships against the Boston Celtics, so I kind of trust Coach Kerr with this strategy.
The Warriors are very efficient when they're playing without any legitimate center in their line-up. I can still remember the time where their starting 5 was Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Green, and I think Iggy. That line-up was a monster at that time, and that's the time where they won a title as well.
They're bringing it up again, but I don't think that it will be as efficient as the one that I said above. They're too small, and too old. Yes their pace will be faster than other teams, but defensively? How can they defend those big guys out there. Well, anyway Coach Kerr is their coach when they introduced the small line-up in the league, so we might see some adjustments coming from him that will help the team if they will push with this "small line-up", and let CP3 start as their PG. TBH, I don't want him to start, but more of a bench player, so he can involved those bench players even more especially Kuminga, and their other young players.
I guess we'll just see how this works. I have some doubts with this plan of them, but I might be surprised if this turns out to be good for them.
