The Warriors won two games against the Nuggets, and my Brave fans have begun to discuss the question of who starts curry and Poole who starts and who is on the bench, and it is okay to be reasonable, but does the warriors need to discuss the question of who starts in the first place? This is not a problem at all, to be precise, it is meaningless to discuss, because this starter is Curry sooner or later, and the only suspense now is when Curry will return! Obviously, Kerr made Curry a substitute for two consecutive games, but this intention is not a subjective intention, nor is it to say that Poole played very well, so Curry was put on the bench.
Curry's bench is just because of injuries, these two playoff games Cole is very cautious about Curry's use, almost all played for about 20 minutes, obviously Kerr does not want to give Curry so much intensity at the beginning, but wants Curry to slowly adapt to the game. There is a fact that many fans ignore, that is, he has not played for more than a month before Curry's comeback. Kerr's approach is very conservative, let Curry come off the bench more from the perspective of injury, he does not dare to let Curry play more than 35 minutes as soon as he comes up, can only be in the case of the team to stabilize the situation, slowly give Curry time, this game if not garbage time too early, Curry's playing time will be 25 minutes.
Curry's normal playing time should be about 35 minutes, Kerr will slowly add playing time, and the next game may be 30 minutes. But will Curry be a substitute next? There may be substitutes, but definitely not as discussed, Poole played well Curry should play as a substitute, more from the perspective of injury. Curry's return to the starting lineup is only a matter of time, and the Warriors do not really "win", the playoffs have always been the real beginning of the away win, the Warriors are currently only holding their own two home games, and there is still a distance from their first round of promotion.
Will Poole be a substitute in the future? Obviously, the position of the sixth man is still Poole's for the time being! The Warriors can't put up a five-small lineup as soon as they start, and Curry, Poole, and Thompson must be the only two who can start. And Poole's excellent play is not only after Curry's truce, in fact, as early as Curry was not injured, Poole has scored 20+ points in a row, the positions of Curry and Poole have not been in conflict, whether they are starting partners or rotating partners, there is no problem throughout the season, the only problem is how long Poole plays.
And Curry's substitution is more of a pseudo-substitute meaning, more often Curry is still the core of the field, the tactics are still around him to play, Curry is still the core of the team. So it doesn't make much sense to talk about the starting point on the bench now, Curry is still the core, and the return to the starting lineup mainly depends on the coaching staff arrangement. Poole's transition time is really good, but it's not yet to the point where it will definitely squeeze Curry out to start. The next G3 game may be the signal, Kerr may let Poole continue to start, but may also officially take Curry to the starting lineup.
