    I don't but if Lou + Gordon stay healthy Harden is going to gain 50 pounds on the bench because he isn't needed for some of the weaker teams.

    Can't really say if our bench alone can make playoffs. Hypothetical what will this starting five bench look like? NBA is a team sport of 8-10 rotational player not just starting five. If this starting five had like another two player like our sixth men on the bench yea it's doable.

    Some of the weaker teams they could. Lou and Gordon could start for most teams that aren't already Guard stack like GSW.
