NEW ORLEANS — The Warriors are waiting on death.
The Death Lineup, that is.
The five-man unit of Draymond Green, Kevin Durant, Andre Iguodala, Klay Thompson, and Stephen Curry — colloquially known as the Death Lineup or the Hamptons’ Five (after the location of the Warriors’ free-agent pitch to Durant) — was the best lineup in the NBA last year because, well, it’s comprised of four All-Stars and a former NBA Finals MVP.
This year, though, the Death Lineup simply hasn’t made the same impact.
“It’s a combination of the injuries and the way we went through the regular season anyway,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Saturday.
