Warriors HC Steve Kerr seems committed to bad starting lineup

The Golden State Warriors' newest starting lineup has been getting definitively outscored over the past month. Head coach Steve Kerr is in no hurry to change it.

Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green have been mainstays in the Warriors' starting lineup. For the past month, they've been joined by guard Moses Moody and center Quinten Post, and that five-man group has a -2.3 net rating in 105 minutes together. Can the Warriors afford to start each half with a losing matchup?

The Draymond Green-Jimmy Butler duo needs shooting around them

Neither Green nor Butler is particularly a threat from behind the three-point line. Green is shooting 33.6 percent from deep and 32.1 percent for his career. Butler is making 38 percent of his threes, but averaging only 2.3 attempts. For his career, he's a 33 percent three-point shooter.

That's ostensibly why Moody and Post are in the starting lineup, but they're not making outside shots either. Moody is shooting 36.4 percent, and Post is at 34.4 percent, while taking 65 percent of their shots behind the arc. Considering that Moody doesn't particularly drive to the hoop or pass, and Post doesn't block shots or rebound, that can be a problem.

In Sunday's 124-111 loss to the Atlanta Hawks, the two combined for 10 points in 35 minutes. When the Hawks started the second half by stretching their lead to 10 points, Kerr called a timeout to pull Moody for De'Anthony Melton — and the Warriors went on an 11-0 run. Still, Kerr has no plans to change, saying the lineup "allows the game to unfold in a way we like."
