The Warriors’ upcoming home game against the Lakers has sparked debate, with some questioning the team’s priorities. The game against the 3rd place Lakers seems to have less meaning than tomorrow’s away game.
Home Advantage Ignored?
The decision to prioritise an away game over a home game against the Lakers has confused some observers. Warriors fans buy tickets for home games, not for away games, leading to questions about fan consideration. It seems, at least to some, “we don’t matter.”
Kerr’s Strategy Under Scrutiny
Kerr has repeatedly said the purpose of these last games is to “sharpen” our play. The Lakers have some decent players. However, the approach to the Lakers game suggests a different strategy may be at play.
Injury Updates and Potential Lineup Changes
Injury updates include Curry, Brown, J. Green, Goodwin, Powell, Hall. There is talk of resting players, with suggestions that Greymond should start against the Blazers and shoot a lot of threes. Maybe he’ll be a knucklehead, slap somebody or kick a dude in the nuts and get thrown out.
This could lead to the Bassey, Leon, and Spencer show the second half as the dubs cruise to a 9 point loss.
Play him tomorrow and rest his brother.
