Almost every lineup that Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has thrown out there during meaningful minutes has been able to tread water at the bare minimum, with lineups like “The Hamptons Five” being arguably the best five-man unit in history.
Still, there has always been that stretch at the beginning of the second and fourth quarters where Stephen Curry is on the bench, and Warriors fans hang on for dear life.
This year’s roster looks dramatically different though, and while it’s expected that the team’s overall performance will decline, there’s a chance the second and fourth quarter starters could turn a weakness into a strength.
