Dallas Mavericks v Golden State Warriors Dallas Mavericks v Golden State Warriors

I wanted Steve Kerr – who was leaning toward bringing Andre Iguodala off the bench for Harrison Barnes – to stick with the same starting lineup as last season.

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Iguodala, David Lee and Andrew Bogut were just so darn effective last season.

But the new coach won’t even have the option of maintaining that continuity when the Warriors open their season against the Kings tonight.

Rusty Simmons of SFGate:

Draymond Green will start Wednesday night’s season-opener against the Kings as power forward David Lee continues to deal with a left hamstring strain, according to Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.

Green meshed well with the other starters last year, but if only Golden State had all of them available.

Well that leaves the Warriors awfully thin up front. A limited Festus Ezeli and Ognjen Kuzmic are probably overmatched.

DeMarcus Cousins should be licking his chops.

    The Warriors have to cut ties with BOTH Lee and Bogut!!!!

    Or they need to be paid only for games they play in/ Take a pay cut!

    Those two, are probably the two most injury prone guys in the friggin league!

    No doubt, they have fundamental skills. BUT if they can’t stay healthy to play 40-50 games AND the playoffs…….WHAT’S THE POINT!!!!

    At some point Kevin Love was available.
