The Golden State Warriors started the season keeping pace with the Phoenix Suns at the top of the Western Conference but a slump in form for Steph Curry and then a plethora of injuries meant they ended up finishing as the 3rd seed by the skin of their teeth. Things are heating up for them during these playoffs though, they finally have all their stars back and are starting to hit top gear.
One of the revelations of the season has been the emergence of Jordan Poole, who should have at least been nominated for Most Improved Player, if not named as the winner like Draymond Green suggested. Poole has been unreal in his first 2 playoff games, he’s averaged 29.5 points and 5.5 assists in the first two wins. And the way the line-up is coming together when Steph Curry is on the floor seems almost unstoppable, something Kyle Kuzma noted in a tweet.
I don’t play 2k but I’d imagine if you played with this 30-Klay-Poole-wig-dray line up you’d beat everyone lol

“I don’t play 2k but I’d imagine if you played with this 30-Klay-Poole-wig-dray line up you’d beat everyone lol.”
NBA 2K is an incredibly realistic game, and the Golden State Warriors this season might just prove that it’s not only virtually that this line-up can dominate. Green and Thompson are elite defenders, while Wiggins is quite good too, and there are 3 elite shotmakers in Curry, Klay, and Poole on the floor. The ball movement is incredible and when put together, this line-up seems custom-made for the modern NBA.
Kuzma has been closely following the playoffs this season as he’s not involved, tweeting about various games so much that there are jokes about him getting a show of his own. Kuz hasn’t given any poor insights yet, and even this one seems spot on. Not only would that line-up be great in 2K, but if they stay injury-free, they could also pose quite the threat to the Phoenix Suns.
