That's Kerr choking....and Curry and Draymond were trying to choke the game away as well.
To take a winning combination of players and roll out a midget lineup in the last 2 minutes??? It's the same choke mentality as the deny defense in football.
its crazy,,, if the result of the 4 guard play is to get Curry a clean look then it's ok but absolutely not give Podz or Draymond a shot at this time of the game.
There's nothing "ok" about a 4 guard lineup. It's a defensive nightmare where it gives opposition mismatches on every level, puts the team in an awful rebounding situation where you also have guards constantly getting physically bullied near the rim. That's presuming the offense is elite with four guards and giving Steph what he needs, neither of which is happening.
The 4 guard lineup is the dumbest lineup I have ever seen in professional sports. Limiting it to just basketball would be doing it a disservice.
Wanna hear something crazy? Curry, Klay, BP and GP2, with Dray, in 19 total possessions, score 121pts/100poss and give up 110/100poss for a +11 net rating. I would not have guessed that.
The only other 4 guard lineup to play more than 10 possession had Moody in for BP in the lineup above. In 18 possessions, they have a per 100 of 105 scored, 162 given up.
Pretty much all of our other 4 guard lineups have <10 possessions. I would have thought it was a lot more. Crazy thing is, many of those lineups have a net rating of +100. Meaning they're outscoring teams in those 5-10 possession by a point per possession.
e.g.:
cp3, bp, gp2, moody, TJD: +128 net rating on 7 possessions.
sc30, cp3, gp2, klay, tjd: +126 net rating in 6 possessions.
