In this episode of The Death Lineup, Brian and Garrett Gonzales break down what to expect in the second half with the Golden State Warriors. The Dubs face a new reality: a roster anchored by newly acquired center Kristaps Porziņģis, but missing the veteran presence of Jimmy Butler following his season-ending ACL surgery.
Realistic Expectations & The Porziņģis Era The guys discuss what "The Unicorn" brings to Steve Kerr’s system. Can his rim protection and floor spacing compensate for the loss of Butler's perimeter defense and clutch scoring? We look at how the Warriors' offense must evolve to integrate Porziņģis while keeping Stephen Curry in a position to dominate.
The Western Conference Playoff Race Sitting in the thick of the Play-In hunt, where do the Warriors realistically land? We analyze the remaining schedule and the uphill battle to avoid the 9th or 10th seed. Is a top-six finish still on the table, or are the Warriors destined for a high-stakes do-or-die tournament?
Next Man Up: The Youth Movement With Butler out, the door is wide open for the young core. We debate which players deserve the biggest minutes:
Will Richards as the young player who should get more minutes.
Brandin Podziemski’s increased playmaking role.
Moses Moody’s chance to finally lock down a consistent rotation spot.
The potential impact of Pat Spencer and rookie center Quinten Post.
What are your realistic expectations for Porziņģis in a Warriors jersey? Can the young guys fill the void left by Jimmy Butler? Let us know in the comments!
