There has been some speculation about limitations to the main guys for GS, as this is their second game of a back to back and guys played legitimate minutes last night, but Kerr doesn't appear to have any such intentions. Now of course, he may be planning to start them but limit their minutes, but I wouldn't rely on that. The team will have to show up consistently to make this work. So far, through only two games, we have the 2nd best defense in the NBA but a bottom 10 offense: there's a lot of room to improve on that end, largely from the shotmaking perspective, so this team hasn't hit its ceiling. We should be trying to make a statement tonight.
