they have no chance with their second best player out for the season. It’s not jaha fault. He will still be ROY. It’s not like the pelicans are doing any better.
No Russ, expect Harden to go off. Tyson Chandler may even see some time as lob threat. Probably not. But have to give the rebounding fans some hope.
They also had Jae Crowder and AI at one point. And they are currently the 8th seed. They may be young but the team is talented.
If I am D'Antoni, these are my starters tonight. Harden BMac RoCo PJ Green That is 2 ballhandlers (Hardeen & Green), 2 lights out shooters plus max length on defense. Bring in Rivers, House, Demarre off the bench for scoring, ball handling and defense. Much more balanced rotation. Play EGo next game. Make sure he is 100% first. Let's not waste him on what is essentially a scrimmage.
