Shump is going to monumental when he is attacking pointguards defensively. Shump Rivers PJ Faried Capela are the best defenders
He is just a unstable shooter. If he can make 3s, let him beat opponent.If he cannot,let him sit in the bench.We have more players can play in playoffs this year.At least,he can be an option.
Disagree... Starting lineup could use some more size and bench needs more scoring punch. EG should be able to score more easily against other team's bench players.
And Morey should get an awful lot of credit from you if he isn't rusty and instead we find ourselves in the position that we have a considerably more deep and talented roster than we did last year clicking at exactly the right time and bullrushing the 2nd seed DESPITE reducing salary to get under the salary cap.
Harden,Paul,Tucker, Gordon and Capela will combine for about 160 minutes, leaving 80 or so for 4 other guys. We've seen enough from Rivers and Faried IMO to pencil them into the rotation, and Nene will have his cameos depending on matchup. As far as I can see, Shumpert, Green and House are competing for the last 2 rotation spots in the postseason if the team is healthy. We pretty much know what Green brings, and what his shortcomings are. House and Shumpert give us much greater defensive potential if they can start to (or continue to in Houses case) perform well offensively.
I love it when you have a squad of underdogs, who used to be somebody but no longer is for whatever reasons, or like House who used to be nobody but wants to be somebody. They are eager to prove themselves and not afraid of biting the opponent. And somehow, unlikely the Celtics, these Rox underdogs are willing to be led by James/Chris. Fun to watch.
The way I see it, house is going to get a serious shot to solidify his rotation spot. Shumpert will, too. May the best man win. (If they haven’t already given up on Shumpert, which IMO they shouldn’t yet)
Instead of limiting, I hope MDA changes his ways and lets Green, House and Shump all play and contribute allowing us to stay healthy during the journey.
