SAN FRANCISCO — While Golden State star Steph Curry’s deadly long-distance shooting may have transformed the NBA, head coach Steve Kerr’s small ball ‘death lineup’ has won championships and the 2021 version maybe the most frightening yet.
“You get a lot of floor spacing,” Kerr said of the current iteration of the lineup. “You get two playmakers with Steph and Jordan and you get Draymond at the five where he’s most effective. So he can do his thing in terms of DHOs , being a great screener, diving into the pocket catching the ball and playmaking himself.”
So Kerr now faces a playoff conundrum: start Curry in Game 2 and move Poole back to the bench or stick with what worked so well in the opener.He said he’s not surprised with Poole’s development this season.“He’s not afraid of the moment,” Kerr said in his post-game news conference. “He looking forward to it . He works hard everyday to prepare and had a great game.”
Healthy at last, Thompson returned to the playoff stage for the first time in nearly three years following two serious injuries and scored 19 points with five 3-pointers.
