@@@ 鈥淥ne of the reasons I was excited about this job is what they鈥檝e built already: the continuity that is here,鈥?Kerr said. 鈥淭hese guys have played together for years, and it鈥檚 easy to see. They know one another.鈥? Still, he tinkered with the usual starting lineup, moving Harrison Barnes into the first five, so he could bring Andre Iguodala off the bench with Leandro Barbosa.
鈥淎ndre really organized our second unit and handled the ball quite a bit as a kind of point forward,鈥?Kerr said. 鈥淗e鈥檚 such a smart defender. He was terrific. I think that was probably the biggest difference from our first two (games): We had more continuity with our rotations. I think Andre had everything to do with that.

Iguodala had a team-high eight assists to zero turnovers and allowed Barbosa to play a more comfortable combo guard spot 鈥?a position where he asked to score more than initiate the offense. While backup point guard Shaun Livingston recovers from toe surgery, a process that Kerr believes could take a week or two into the regular season, the Iguodala-Barbosa combination might be used more often off of the bench.
