Kerr has this all wrong. All wrong.

No athleticism and vertical threat (and defensive versatility) playing Embiid, so you play him with Curry and LeBron? Start Booker and Jrue? What the hell is this lineup man.

AD should be starting and let Embiid cook the second unit. Start Ant or Tatum instead of soft ass Booker.

Warriors fans I apologize. Kerr is ass.

You Americans are so worried about who starts, who plays. LOL. This is a warm up game, of course Kerr is searching for the right combos. And that line-up is so deep anyway there is no wrong answer on who gets the starting five or gets the most minutes.
If there is no basketball in heaven, i am not going.

Leaving us with nothing to argue about? Do you even America bro?
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.
