    MDA likes his small lineups so you could be right.

    Bucks are long, could be why House is starting.

    i love house, but I will say WB and Harden have looked a lot better together when EG is out there with them.

    Westbrook/Rivers
    Harden/ McLemore
    House/Gordon
    Tucker/ Thabo
    Capela/Tyson

    that’s the 10 man rotation right there...

    special players/situational:
    Nene, Ryno, Isiah, Clark, Clemons

    PS we are super tiny. AD is gonna shoot over PJ tucker

    defensively

    I’d like to try

    PJ on Davis ( switching defense switch on Lebron)
    Westbrook on Lebron
    Harden on kuzma
    Capela on Javale ( switching defense rotate on davis)
    House on green

    clippers

    PJ on Kawhi
    Westbrook on Shamet
    Capela on Trez/Zubac
    Harden on Bev
    house/ Thabo on Pg

    clippers a better matchup for us straight up. Due to size

    Im worried about the role players. Honestly looking at the Clippers pisses me off. We gave away our quality roles players. Morey needs to find a way to have great role players and stars together not just one or the other, im sick of this ****.

    The idea that Tucker is a PF on a team that sorely needs rebounding pisses me off.

    Well, like MDA said, even coming off the bench, EGo will play starting minutes and close games, so it really doesn't matter to me who starts. EGo is more versatile on both ends, but House's style complements Harden and WB, but we need more slash and dunks from House! Hopefully, that will improve as the season progresses.

    You mean Bev, Lou and Harrell? The guys who were paired with Harden or Rivers, Gordon, Tucker and Capela?

    Stupid complaint is stupid.

    Gordon should start, Westbrook should be 6th man

    Prove me wrong.

    House needs to step up because we literally have no other wing. We're gonna have some problems if House can't step up. We're gonna be really good if he does step up. A lot riding on his shoulders whether we like it or not.
