If they go through those droughs, the Warriors can catch fire and absolutely blow them out within a few minutes.
And this is where we really miss Hayward... as I imagine the plan was to stagger one of him/Kyrie in the 2nd units for this very reason.
I think the goal through the season is for stevens to find lineups that can eliminate the scoring droughts. Those droughs are going to be killer and teams with elite talent like LeBron or KD, can score no matter what kind of defense is played against them and will start to crush the Celtics when those droughts happen.
Once Stevens solves that scoring issue, they can for sure become a contender.
The warriors go through droughts sometime as well, and thats when everyone just gives the ball to KD and gets out of his way and he scores on like 4-5 posessions in a row, after that the team starts clicking on offense again.
Reckon come trade deadline they will look for someone to shake loose who can get their own shot to boost that 2nd unit if they don't find anyone internally
