    I think we’ll definitely need these two to play atleast 15-20 minutes a game to secure the deal vs GS. I think Shumpert could really bother Steph with his length. And Faried should have a better series now that Gobert and Favors aren’t in the picture.

    Faried as Center playing against Draymond, Faried will make Draymond work. Kenneth Faried has played really well against Draymond in the regular season, memorable crossover on Draymond and layup, shooting 3s on the Warriors.

    Andre Bogut - Clint Capela should outrun Bogut on fast breaks, Nene used in a slowed down, grind out late situations.

    Draymond Green - Clint Capela, Kenneth Faried used with Chris Paul in early in the 2nd qtr, early 3rd qtr

    Shumpert athleticism is gone on defense, lack of speed laterally because of his knee injury has hurt him.

    We could try to get cute with role players ... or we could just play our best players more minutes.

    I might be inclined to try the latter.

    Harden will need to guard someone. Hell no to Shumpert. Faried ok.

    I think we've already seen what the rotations will be. Faried will get some minutes. Shumpert may not even play. Things could change if we get killed the first couple games. But, I think we saw in the Jazz series who MDA feels comfortable playing.

    Shumpert is no longer the player who made life difficult for Curry back when he was in Cleveland.

    Shumpert needs to stay behind the bench. He can’t shoot. Liability on offense. His defense doesn’t offset.

    Gary Clark should get playing time over Green/Shumpert.


    I’m mentally preparing to see Gerald Green on the court right now.

    I'm wondering if Livingston is going to keep his spot in the starting lineup.

    Shumpert only haters are hoping Shumpert just does this at the far end of the bench

    Shumpert might casually slice the Warriors without even looking at them.

    Shumpert must mean "He who shoots low percentage 20-foot two point shots" in some language.

    Orlando could have used Shumpert.
    Miami for sure needed help.
    Vince Carter shows that anybody can play when opportunity.

    Farid is going to be crucial in this series...we are going to need him to be atleast half way decent on defense.... because his lob threat is going to help us alot.
