I'm going on record to say this won't be a good starting lineup for the Warriors. Green will get in foul trouble too easily if he has to play Center for the entire game.

Why did Wiggins pass when he had a layup?

I love that the broadcaster considers 39% from 3 (equivalent to 59% from the field... far better than peak Shaq) on ultra high volume "not efficient". Someone educate these guys.

That was such a bad pass Jokic should get an assist.

Monte with the stupid foul, but immediately jumps up to blame his teammates for not helping

The eFG% is equivalent. Realistically, shooting that level from 2 typically means shooting inside, which often includes a higher FTr, which does need to be considered. Also Shaq shot 58.3% from the field on his career, and 58.0% from 92 to 06... 59% is not "far better" than peak Shaq. Hell, in his second season, he shot 60% on his way to over 29 ppg, then 58.5% the year after as 29.3 the second time around won him the scoring title.

Kerr put Looney in early to keep Draymond from having to guard Joker and picking up a 2nd early foul. Took me a while to figure out why he took out Poole. You'll have to excuse my friend he's a little slow.

Bro, that was Grant Hill saying that. Show some respect and say the man's name at least.

There is a cost missing shots. It opens up fastbreak opportunities for the opponent. So, eFG is great, but a perimeter oriented team does have to be careful about transition defense.

So, eFG isn’t equivalent in that sense.

Even more embarrassing he wouldn't know how efficient it is.
