I think have a regular lineup made us play regular solid defense. We just matched up alot better without Rip playing. Rip wasn’t playing….

To have only one SG (AI or Rip) makes a big different. Give Rip and Ai only 10-15 min together on the court and for the other 33-38 min bring only one of them! So both will play something around 30 min (even a little bit more). And if one of them gets on fire, let him play a little bit more than the other! If it is a day-to-day desicion, it couldn't be a problem for both of them! So Curry doesn't have to change his starting linuep (Though I will be happy, if he will change it, because i'm a friend of having two real bigs out there and having Tay and Rip on his natural positions!). He told the media, that he will substitue AI and Tay early in the first! And i think this works good! Only if we play against an bigger opponent (Orlando, Boston, ...) he has to change his starting lineup! We only use one of our SGs! ;-)

Even their coach said he made a big difference in the game. I gotta question tho... How did we play so good that night opposed to other nights? Like what was the big difference? John help me out Amir did have a hell of a game. Even their coach said he made a big difference in the game.

He performed exceptional in my (biased) book. Amir had a great game especially when you consider he hardly gets consistent minutes. He performed exceptional in my (biased) book.

But he had a very strong game tonight, so maybe even Curry will have to consider it. You just can't start both Rip and AI. Probably not, knowing Michael Curry.
