    I would go w Joe Johnson for the first few minutes to see how he responds. That guy has playoff experience. Who knows, maybe everyone else's intense defense rubs off on him. Heck even James Harden is playing defense.

    I would try Ryno out too. Just never know he may go bananas.

    He said maybe he play 8-9. Me think he might try to see who play wells. But there is a pecking order. Luc is first. After that, my guess is Ryno then Iso Joe or Nene.

    I think playing Ryno at center would give Harden some space to drive.

    I would try Ryno if they put David west in. Give the man three shots. He can shoot the deepest of all our threats and harden will need the space. We don’t win our last two regular season wins at oracle without Ryno 1 of which on 50% shooting from deep. If West is in that is Ryno.s best chance to contribute more than a wet fart on D. If he could just hit a shot or two he could help. Hopefully Luc has seen a shrink or a hypnotist to exercise whatever demon invaded him.

    I would just about sacrifice one of my testies for a win in Oakland. I have two kids and don’t need more.

    If Harden is the weakest defender on court and is gassed defending on ISO and carrying the offense, give Ryno/Joe some burn to test out the water. This is to increase the offensive capacity while diminish our defense giving Harden some rest on defense while our less capable defenders get the ISO. This won’t work for extended minutes but can be a way to find out who the 7th or 8th man will be when resting some starters.

    Ryno will not be guarding West, they will switch him to Curry or Durant.

    Gotta go with Luc.


    Harden has proved he can keep Steph in check, for the most part. The key to the last two games is holding Durant in check. Durant is the only guy I'm afraid of. Luc, OJ, and Ariza are the only guys that can. I'd even mix in as much backside help from Clint as I could.

    Does Gerald Green get more playing time? What about MBMoute and Tarik Black?

    Any other suggestions? Johnson is washed and Moute is rocking in a fetal position calling for mommy. Guess we could suit up John Lucas.

    Probably 8-9 guys is just head games, it’s only Green and Mbah off the bench.

    Y’all have to root for Anderson y’all throw his name around like he’s never been done nothing for the team. We need him to step up. Not hate on him like we want him to do bad, that’s GSW fans job
