#3 Andre Iguodala's value
So during the regular season, Andre Iguodala doesn't look like he deserves a lot of his $14.8 million for this season. In actuality, the Warriors know it's the postseason that they are paying him for. His minutes are carefully monitored during the regular season, so as to maximize his playing time and productivity in the Playoffs.
In a game that the Warriors ended up winning by just 9 points, the 2015 Finals MVP was a +25 in his 25 minutes on the court. Steve Kerr, mentioned in his postgame press conference, that when he subbed out Iguodala at the 6:25 mark in the third, he didn't want to bring him back as the Warriors led by 23 then with all of their four All-Stars still on the court. Credit to Kerr that even as the game closed up late, he resisted the temptation of putting Iggy back in.
Iguodala didn't follow his regular rotation of checking back-in during the fourth quarter and that's when the Pelicans made their game-threatening run.
Nine out of 10 times, you will not see Iguodala put up any flashy numbers but in his limited minutes, his impact is invaluable. He can make the odd three, he pushes the pace (which the Warriors always want) but hardly ever turns it over. His assist/turnover ratio is among the best in the league.
