Warriors Make Long-Term Starting Lineup Decision

Steve Kerr announced on Tuesday that the Warriors will start Stephen Curry, Moses Moody, Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Quinten Post for the foreseeable future.

That fivesome hadn't started a game until Sunday against Portland.

Overall, the Warriors have started 15 different lineups in 27 games. They were in need of more rotation continuity, so sticking with one group for a while will help.

How Has This Lineup Fared?

It's a small sample size, but this lineup has been bad this season.

In 35 possessions, it has a minus-24.0 net rating, per Cleaning the Glass. It is scoring at 62nd percentile clip, but it is defending at 0 (!) percentile clip.

Against the Trail Blazers, it lost the first five minutes of the game 20-14, but then it won the first four minutes of the third quarter 14-9.

It should be noted that this lineup with Jonathan Kuminga in and Moody out has a plus-14.9 net rating in 94 possessions.

It's fair to question why they don't go back to Kuminga, but for better or worse, he's currently getting DNPs after a three-game stretch in which he went 8-of-32 from the floor.
