Warriors just went +16 in Steph Curry’s 8.5-minute stint on the bench. They were down 18-15 when he exited. Up 39-26 when he returns. Did not happen much last season. Long, steady stint from Chris Paul. Gary Payton II has 12 points in 10 minutes. Two 3s. – 7:52 PM

With only 2 exceptions thru first 9 quarters, Warriors have been good/excellent during non-Steph minutes. Rarely could that be said last season. With Chris Paul now anchoring, it should get even better – 7:42 PM

Chris Paul, in his first career stint off the bench, enters at the 7-minute mark and plays the duration of the first quarter. Didn’t take a shot. Had three assists. Closed the quarter with a pick-and-pop find for a Dario Saric 3. Warriors up 26-24 on Rockets. Paul a +8. – 7:39 PM

Chris Paul checks in after the first time out. Warriors time out before inbounding, so technically, he still has never come off the bench. – 7:24 PM

Draymond Green on his fit with Chris Paul
“When you can put two of the smartest guys in the league on the floor with the weapons we have, I like the odds.”
“You put Bill Gates and Paul Allen in a room and you get Microsoft. That’s how I see it.”

Chris Paul called for the adjustment.
Andrew Wiggins turned into a point guard.
And Stephen Curry did what he seems to always do against the Kings.

More on this storyline
One answer, especially in the Warriors’ smaller lineups, will be Green as the screener in a high pick-and-roll with Paul, spreading Curry and Thompson as the shooters and Andrew Wiggins (or Kuminga) in the dunker spot. “(Have to figure) out what he likes in the pick-and-roll,” Green said. “That’s what I try to do. Different guys like different screening angles. He may want a hand off. He may want a pitch-back. He may want a step up. But, like I said, I think we are two of the smartest guys in the league. When you can put two of the smartest guys in the league on the floor on the same team with the weapons we have around us, I like the odds.” -via The Athletic / October 29, 2023
