Legacy Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Warriors rookie guard Stephen Curry will be at least a part-time starter this season. Golden State coach Don Nelson didn't name Curry the permanent starter, saying he'll make his lineups based on matchups. "I think I'm going to — because the kid (Curry) is so good — leave that spot open and it will be a matchup thing," Nelson told the Contra Costa Times. "We're going to have a small backcourt anyway. We might as well start that way sometimes."Source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted October 9, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Sometimes? How about trying to stick with a consistent starting five, and a second unit, so you can consistently win games? Doesn't make much sense to me, trying to play like that.

Although there were rumors that Randolph got bigger (gained muscle and is 7 foot now). I think the Warriors had the most different starting lineups last season.

Owner Real Deal Posted October 9, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Haha, yeah, Golden State had 47 different starting lineups last year. How the HELL do you manage that? K.
