what we didn't have this year - power forwards

[Blazer4ever]

In their last game, GS's frontcourt was
Iggy (listed as SF)
Durant (listed as SF)
Green (listed as PF)

who all played the lion's share minutes. My guess is that Iggy played SF, Durant played PF, Green played C.

So, which "real pf" do you want guarding Durant?

My Answer: none, I want Aminu guarding him.... who we have as our starting PF.

Yes but you can't beat the Warriors by playing the same game. That's their system, not necessarily ours, and Green is maybe the best PF in the game. They sometimes go small ball but they can also play bigger. I think we played with no real threat at PF the entire season

Zach has the potential to become a fantastic PF. He just needs to build his body up and continue to develop his game. I think the Blazers will be fine at PF going forward.

Oh, hell yes.

I’m not trying to claim those were bad wins or they didn’t count or anything like that, so please bare that in mind.
I don’t think GS cared that much about the regular season and it showed all year, they were sloppy, didn’t play championship level defense, whenever anyone got hurt they would miss more games than it seemed necessary. It seemed like the 73 win season showed those guys that the regular season is a chance to work on some thing and by talent alone they won a lot of games. I just think GS at this point is one of those teams that’s had enough success that they don’t care all to much about regular season success
I’m gonna pretty surprised if GS loses 3 times to the Rockets, I mean it’s possible obviously, but GS knows they are judged by rings, and anything short of a ring is a failure.

Nope. What's relative is having a cohesive 5-man unit where each player components to other to make up for their individual weaknesses and to build on their strengths.

Obviously, a team with all 6ft Pgs isn't gong to be a good 5-man unit. You need balance. But positional labels? Nah. They're not relevant. They're helpful when determining roles and the assortment of players on the court, but when it comes to building a lineup, they're not relevant.

Positions were invented so layman can follow the game.
