I forgot about Brunson's surgery.  That takes two of our top nine out of action.  Assuming Curry starts, you have KP, DFS, THJ, Curry and Luka.  The bench is pretty thin with Wright and Kleber being the main cogs.  Yes, we have some next tier guys who will have to play because stamina is going to be an issue (Barea, WCS, Jackson, Boban and Lee).  But, the dropoff from Powell/Brunson to those guys is fairly substantial.

So, we get a healthy Luka/KP combo, but our bench goes from a strength to a weakness.  Suddenly how well Courtney Lee stayed in shape during the last 3 months is hugely important.
