I think the team needs Looney’s rebounding and strong interior presence more than it needs Kuminga’s cutting to the hoop for a dunk. Yes, JK & MM can help in some ways, but I’m not sure they would be more useful than Looney & Poole right now.
Kerr did reveal in the pregame that rebounding was their No. 1 issue (I thought it was energy per Draymond), but then what happened was, Steve went with Otto. So, I was right about that part akin to 2015: some significant lineup change was necessary being down 2-1 except it was Otto, not JK. And it may have saved Looney a few more minutes in the 4th.
They should give JK more minutes, we need that energy!

Do you think it was the right decision to start Otto Porter Jr. instead of Kevon Looney ?
