    MDA up to his old 8 man rotation like it's the playoffs. Meanwhile GS has played 11 people in the first half.

    When are people going to stop making excuses for bad player management. It's the freaking first game of the season and it's already happening.

    Lol. But Clint Capela is a star!!!!! Give him 4 years. He's averaging 24 a night. -- cf

    At this rate, Clint will be the second coming of Wilt. At similar ages, DeAndre was worse than Clint. Wilt was on par.

    probably trying to save Nene a bit since he's old. We realistically have a 9 men rotation which is okay if we stagger minutes correctly

    Key words: It's the freaking first game of the season.

    That's about all they got! Surprised they are already holding Nene out. (Out tonight, will play DH tomorrow)

    Warriors are 15 deep though.

    Mike has always been this way, down to his Phoenix days. I remember when he use to play seven man line ups at times. He will never change so stop complaining lol.

    A second round pick and Casspi saw some action in the first half. I wouldn't exactly call that "deep". My point is 8 man rotations won't get you to the finals. It's small minded to think playing more than that will hurt the team.

    Surprised Tarik Black hasn't gotten any minutes, especially with Nene out. These guys are gonna have to get some experience sooner or later

    8 men rotation with 3 new players playing major minutes. Rox is chasing the game the entire time. Not exactly the time to try out new lineups.

    I think they want Tarik Black to get his conditioning up in practice since he just came back last week and only played 1 preseason game. Otherwise..I think he would've played a little today.

    I dun expect some guys on the bench to average 14 or 20 except for Eric Gordon maybe. Latter is a starter IMO anyhow.

    Yeah, but we won the game, because they were stupid enough to play David West, who got schooled over and over in the 4th.
