Steve Kerr: we’re getting destroyed in the paint and on the glass, but I have the perfect plan: I’m going to start someone 6’3 instead of someone 6’10.
GP2 had a game-high +25 plus/minus.It wasn’t a good adjustment just because they lost by less than 30 points. They lost the game once again by giving up offensive rebounds and getting crushed in the paint. The beginning of the 4th lineup, when GP2 was in, put the Lakers right back in the game.
The game was only close because of Steph’s heroics, as normal. Kerr left him out to dry defensively forcing him to guard Lebron 1 on 1 on every PNR, which no doubt killed his legs.
The adjustment of starting him has been the best counter of this series. He's been a key influencer on both ends of the floor.
