The better question is: Has Steve Kerr made Capela unplayable? The lineups that the Golden State Warriors show aren’t big-men friendly. That was exactly what Kerr wanted when he opted to start the Hamptons 5.
This series, the Golden State Warriors started Andre Iguodala, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. This lineup has caused grief for the Rockets and their devoted fanbase.
In this conference semifinal matchup, the injury to DeMarcus Cousins may have been a blessing in disguise. His injury has given all the minutes to Andre Iguodala. Iggy scored the first six points of Game 2 and played game-changing defense on Harden who ended with just 29 points.
