Curry, Klay, KD, Draymond, Boogie 

Post#1 » by cdubbz » Fri Jan 11, 2019 12:16 am

The Golden State Warriors will unleash a new version of the lineup of death. SUPER Death lineup

Steph Curry
Klay Thompson
Kevin Durant
Draymond Green
DeMarcus Cousins

Shooters: check
play makers: check
Post offensive presence: check
Perimeter defense: check
Interior defense: check

For the Warriors:
Everyone is freed by Cousins on the block. He commands a double team, but who leaves Curry & Klay open? Green can have more freedom on defense with cousins. Bench scoring won't be an issue when 2-3 of the starters will almost always be in.

Who can stop this team? Do teams double Cousins?

Yeah I'm a big fan of Boogie but I'm really not expecting much more from him this year than just being a get buckets off the bench type guy who gets lit up defensively. Could be wrong tho.

Yeah who knows how cousins is on defense now, but if he’s solid than still allows green to be more risky and physical on perimeter

I think teams will really test Boogie, they'll go small to run him off the floor and rack up points. Almost all the teams are in game shape now, and he's obviously not. Should be interesting though, an allstar starting 5, freaking absurd.

The most interesting thing will be how the Warriors defend pick and roll. Before the Kings traded Cuz teams really started attacking him on almost every play and it wasn't pretty.

I think they should use him like they used Carl Landry back in the day. Instant points and high usage. It could totally throw teams out of whack.

I'm pretty sure time already told us Draymond Green is a top 5 defender in the NBA.

Not mentioned yet rebounding which the recovering Cuz will be doing is defense and what his main contribution should be with the starters.


Closing lineup I think will have Iggy in for Green but true C Cuz in the middle.

I am interested to see how Boogie will anchor our defense.

the only chance for opposing teams is getting into Boogie's head. Otherwise, prayers is the other only answer.

I dont really know if DMC at the 5 is better than Draymond at the 5. Iggy at this point is still good enough in small spurts so I'd probably still want to include him.

I like Cousins' game but even last season for the Pelicans, he had serious flaws. He's considering going back to GS next year. That alone tells me how much worse he is than even last season.
