No size, no bench

No size, no bench

Yep, going to be a problem for them all year. They have snipers but they have no size and their bench is significantly worse. KD is another jump shooting scorer, the Dubs have more than enough of those.

Golden state is using him wrong.

No size, no bench

They will definitely have to to tinker around and probably stagger rotations with the big guns to make up for what they lost on the bench.

You can't teach size, and losing Bogut and Festus will amplify one of the ways that teams could beat the Warriors if they weren't lights out from the field, offensive rebounding.

All that said, it is the Spurs in the first game of the season. It ain't time go into panic mode just yet.

It's not even about that, they didn't need KD. As good as he is, he doesn't help them with their weaknesses. I think they'll be a poor defensive and rebounding team all year. It's only game 1 but they have clear weaknesses. They'll have games where their raining j's and look like world beaters but it will be a struggle for them in the playoffs.
