Steph Curry shocked Golden State Warriors fans on Saturday when it was announced that he would be coming off the bench for Game 1 of the first round playoff series against the Denver Nuggets. Curry was on a minutes restriction after missing a month with a foot injury, and it was reportedly his idea (driven in part by how well Jordan Poole had been playing) to ride the pine to start the series.
That’s continuing in Game 2, with The Athletic’s Anthony Slater reporting that the Dubs are sticking with the same starting lineup that they’ve used for the last few weeks: Poole, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, and Kevon Looney.
