Ok folks, here we go - the final warm-up run without Demarcus Cousins. It’s a scorched Earth sort of vibe around the Golden State Warriors right now, and the New Orleans Pelicans are the next potential victim.
Coach Steve Kerr, a man who loves to tinker with his lineups, has abandoned the so-called “stagger” approach. Rather than trying to force either Durant or Curry to play offset from one another, Kerr is now seemingly content to go back to the old approach - maximize the time for Durant and Curry to play alongside one another, and sort out the weird bench units’ 10 minutes or so however we can.
