Year to year lineup continuity in the west
Re: Year to year lineup continuity in the west
Unfortunately, it looks like Curry is hurt. Otherwise, the Warriors might have been the only team to have the same opening day starting lineup from last season.
Re: Year to year lineup continuity in the west
The only big time positive lineups that played 75+ minutes in the playoffs which are still possible are with Miami, Boston and Memphis.
OKC had 4 below this minute threshold that were pretty or very good, all with Collison on the court and Ibaka only once.
Philly had one close too.
