Flashback to last April: David Lee was nursing nerve damage that stretched from his back to his right hamstring, Draymond Green had only a handful of starts under his belt, Mark Jackson was coach and the Warriors were in the midst of shuffling lineups and unsure of their playoff seeding.
As seen this seen with Lee’s preseason injury forcing Kerr’s hand to start Green, the circumstances of Lee’s injury last season shed light on the best lineup this team can trot out: Curry/Thompson/Iguodala/Green/Bogut. “Oh yeah, that’s our killer line-up,” said Bogut last season. Context is key, as Bogut was referring to how the team reacted defensively with those five on the floor.
