Warriors starting rookie big man in Game 2 vs. Timberwolves

The Golden State Warriors continue to adapt their lineup as they head into Game 2 against the Minnesota Timberwolves without star guard Stephen Curry. With Curry sidelined, coach Steve Kerr is opting for a strategy that emphasizes size and shooting. Rookie Quinten Post is set to make his first playoff start, joining a lineup that includes Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, Brandin Podziemski, and Buddy Hield.

Post has seen limited action in the playoffs thus far, averaging 4.6 points on 32.5% shooting from the field and pulling down 2.9 rebounds in just over 15 minutes per game. His debut as a starter presents an opportunity for him and could impact the team’s overall dynamic as they look to solidify their playoff run.

What is the impact of lineup changes on team chemistry?How do injuries affect playoff performance?What strategies can teams use to adapt to missing star players?What does it take for a rookie to succeed in playoffs?
