Steve Kerr considering Warriors lineup changes after Celtics loss

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr is considering to change his side's lineup after 119-104 loss to Boston Celtics, as youngsters Omari Spellman, Jordan Poole and Eric Paschall struggled. Eleven minutes into the game 22-year-old Omari Spellman stood at the top of the key, surrounded by teammates of a similar era and to his right, 20-year-old rookie Jordan Poole stood in the corner, waiting for a pass that never came. To his left, another rookie, 23-year-old Eric Paschall stood in the other corner and of the five players on the floor, only Alec Burks was born before 1995, bringing a familiar sight for Warriors. Spellman made just 2-of-6 from the field Thursday night, finishing minus-8 from the floor in 21 minutes. Entering Thursday, he shot just 30 percent from the field, including a 2-of-7 performance against the Sixers on Tuesday. His struggles have coincided with Poole's poor shooting from the field. Since returning from the G League, Poole is shooting just 33 percent from the field, forcing Kerr to find a new lineup. In his post-match interview, Steve Kerr talking about the game, said: "We might try to change the lineups a little bit. Just so we're not bringing in three of four young guys at the same time."  "Right now we're trying to bring along these young guys. And it's tough because we're trying to bring them on at the same time." "I didn't think we played particularly well tonight. We hung in there, we fought, which was good. But we weren't very sharp."  "We just have to keep fighting. The goal is to keep getting better individually and collectively. If we do that, it becomes a productive season." Warriors will return to action on Saturday as they are set to face Cleveland Cavaliers at Quicken Loans Arena. Source- Yahoo! Sports
