The Warriors today kicked off their first game of the playoffs. Today they beat the Nuggets in a home game against the Nuggets, ushering in the playoffs. Curry made his comeback today, scoring 16 points off the bench. Thompson played steadily, shooting five three-pointers to score 19 points. Poole scored 30 points efficiently. He also hit five three-pointers.
Before the playoffs began, many people were fantasizing about the Warriors' playoff lineup, and today their playoff lineup was revealed. The Warriors used a ten-player rotation in the playoffs. They are Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, Green, Rooney, Iguodala, Jordan Pooler, Otto Porter, Bjelica and Peyton Jr. Every team in the playoffs will shrink their lineups, and the Warriors are no exception. Damian Lee and Anderson, who got playing time in the regular season, were abandoned by Cole in the playoffs, which is of course what many fans can expect.
Damien Lee and Anderson really can't play a significant role on the field anymore. It should be known that these two people were able to get very stable playing time last season, and even Damian Lee was once the warriors' starting guard. But with Thompson's return and The rise of Payton Jr., the two men's playing time has been gradually compressed, and Anderson has spent most of the season in a state of abandonment. And the two men will most likely not stay with the Warriors after the season. Both men will expire their contracts after the end of the season, and the Warriors will focus on developing Cuminga and Moody in the future. The two of them are getting smaller and smaller in the Warriors' living space, so they are destined to be eliminated.
The Warriors probably won't use Cummingal and Moody too much in the playoffs, and may be more of a waste time. Every round of the playoffs is very important. In the first year probably they won't get a lot of time in the playoffs. The two of them will also need to grow up in a regular season next year, and maybe by next season they will be able to get a steady playing time in the playoffs.
The Warriors' lineup is a combination of old and new, and fans are more pleased to see such a lineup, because they are likely to complete a rapid transition in the next few years, not like some traditional strong teams, when the superstar withers, the team will be reduced to a state of chaos, and now they have Jordan Pooler, Cuminga, Moody and Wiseman, they have left enough capital for the future, so the Warriors are also a team that looks to the future.
