Warriors Potential Starting 5 (Post ASB) does this team have what it takes to make a Deep Playoff Run 🤔

1. My Ideal starting 5: Steph/Moody/Gui/Dray/KP

2. They are missing something…. Santos for Moody?

3. Damn I kinda like this

4. If we had Jimmy yes

5. If everyone stays healthy, they get in easily w/o having to deal with the play in.

   In the real world, where Steph and Kristaps will play roughly half of their games, we squeak in to the play in, and heaven help us beyond that.

6. Let Gui play instead of deranged-mond green

7. If by deep… you mean the 1st round. Sure.

8. Offensively they might lack some firepower from the wings but the defense would be pretty damn good.

9. A deep playoff run? Doubt it, but I do expect them to at least make the playoffs.

10. I know it’s the celebrity game but Tacko Fall looks enticing lol

11. Honestly? No

12. Based on the teams below us and how they are treating the rest of the season already, the Warriors won’t drop below the 10 seed. So if they can truly gear up, stay healthy, and be the freshest team in the playoffs/ins; then yeah they could win a playoff series or 2

13. Assuming good health from everyone, this lineup + Pat, Podz, Seth, Santos, Horford, QP on the bench can make it all the way. I only say this because a healthy KP on this team really adds so much on both offense and defense. Any lineup with steph is pretty much a guaranteed 120+ offensive rating, good enough to win most games assuming the defense isn’t atrocious. With KP’s rim protection/ detterence and Dray at his most natural defensive position, the defense can end up being very good, maybe even top 3 like it was post ASB last year.

    But again it is a big IF on the health.

14. I have no hope that KP plays consistently.

15. Where does a magical fully healthy kp get us?

16. I’m so happy we kept Mody Moosey past the deadline

17. No lol

18. I think semi finals if healthy. KP is very good when healthy. Teams would be fuked when Curry is hitting.

    Edit: and the defense would be top notch. With Jimmy, finals.

19. deep run? no. If we make it out of the play in presumably we have either the thunder or spurs waiting for us. Health is also another factor to take in as well.

20. I know what every sport analysts/pundits think of us right now. And I KNOW every one of them is wrong.

21. Dubs in 5

22. The biggest issue is that the team has 5 b2bs left and half of these starters won’t be able to play them. That and this is pretty much the entirety of the team’s scoring output. Unless they fill the empty roster spot with a microwave scorer, they’re not going to be doing too well unless this lineup is staggered.

23. No. First round series W in 7 maybe and they out in 5/6 and that requires Steph going insane

24. Dang if we only had Jimmy in this roster, we’ll blast through into playoffs.

25. No, not this year at least. If we end the season as 6th to 8th seed, we will face OKC, SAS or DEN in the first round. We could put up a fight but we can’t get past them.

26. No

27. Jimmy over Moody woulda been the bees knees

28. Tingus Pingus plays less games than even AD, so i wouldnt bet on it.

29. Lmao f*ck no

30. No

31. No

32. no

33. Maybe this 5 starts sometimes, but i prefer Melton off the bench. He cant be himself when Steph is in and we need his productionbwith the second unit, not the first. Also, i think starting Al next to Draymond makes more sense ….again, so you’re getting bench production from KP (and hopefully conserving his strength).

    Starting 5

    Steph/Moody/Gui/Draymond/Horford

    Bench

    Melton/Podz/Payton/Post/KP

34. Give me moody and gui instead of moody and melton

35. Melton honestly should be off the bench. And no disrespect— him and Al together would anchor us well.

36. If healthy*****, I see us being a 6-game out in the WCF to OKC.

    KP would solve a lot of headaches on both ends of the floor that have cost us games due to poor matchups.

37. You lost me at deep. Maybe one round, maybe

38. Define “deep”
