JTA 16 mins -> 10mins
Chiozza 11 mins -> 0mins

all of those mins need to be redistributed to Moody, Kuminga, and back to Klay once he gets his feet under him, maybe a couple of more mins to Dray (he's only playing 29 mins per).

tighten the rotation, remove Chiozza, JTA, Bjelica, Iggy and Lee from any non-garbage time sets, go back to playing Steph 1st/3rd full time and manage the rotations around that.

i get it, we have a pretty deep team, but in the playoffs it's gonna be quality > quantity, and we need to start tightening those lineups and sets and figuring out the rotations that we will be using to make the PO push.

in any high leverage or close game, these are the only players should see the court:

Steph / Gp2
Klay / Poole
Wiggy / Moody
Dray / Porter Jr.
Loon / Minga

this 10 man rotation is plenty good enough, supplement Iggy, Bjelica or Lee or JTA as needed in garbage time.
Hey, you accidentally left Wiseman out of the rotation.

Chiozza isn't a rotation player so what is the point of this question?
I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

What does the date matter? He was never a rotation player. He's a guy who gets random spot minutes.

Only issue is the of handlers. I don’t think Moody will be able to contribute much offensively unless he’s with the ball-movers. Maybe something we can address at deadline or post deadline waivers, but we could use someone who keeps the ball out of Poole’s hands a bit more

6 consecutive non-garbage time appearances in a row at time of posting. Thanks for your contribution and concern about a throwaway line in the thread title

Unreal that the Chiozza part apparently makes the question confusing :lol:

play Steph less off-ball and more on-ball, we have two primary handlers in Steph/Dray, pretty much what the majority of POs teams have anyways, we're not facing a unique issue

Lakers: Lebron/Russ
Denver: Jokic/Morris (or Murray)
Suns: Cp3/Payne
Utah: Conley/Mitchell

etc. etc.

The Warriors need to see if they can be trade partners with the Kings by the deadline.

At this point, I think they should give Curry and Green every other game off or the games against weaker competition off to get their heads and legs back on right. While also getting the others more experience.

Small ball is bad for a player’s health past 30. They have to save their shot for the playoffs. If this team is healthy they can beat almost anyone, so as long as they are not in the playin spot, I’m a believer, but they have to be healthy rested and ready to go.

Kuminga and Bjelica should alternate for backup center minutes against fast and slow teams respectively.

Nobody was confused about the question though. It's just a bad question with a bad premise.

Ah, so everyone on that list deserves the minutes they get, Chiozza wasn't in the rotation despite what the boxscores said, and apparently Chiozza is relevant to the question being asked despite his exclusion, which is literally in the question

lol man you started off terrible and somehow made it worse

It’s going to be impossible for Kerr to deny minutes to Kuminga after the CHI game. About the only thing he can argue is there’s too many mouths to feed, which isn’t really a great argument either since he’s already playing as well as a number of players on the team but with a WAY higher ceiling and an upward trajectory.
