All these stars being injured makes me appreciate James Harden more. We may criticize how he plays the game sometimes, but this guy is a freaking tank. *knock on wood*
Will a quality PG even want to come? Our three best players are at the guard spot. When healthy, that quality guard will be glued to the bench when they could be getting 20+ mpg elsewhere.
If you read Feigen's Chron article today, it states that MDA is set on his rotation right now without CP3. The 2nd unit is Eric Gordon at PG with Moute at SG (+Tucker/Anderson/Nene or Black). They are banking that lineup will be a strong D lineup. It probably will be, but to me the key to that lineup is having Anderson continue his strong offensive play. Need his shooting in that lineup.
i'm not a fan of that lineup. we saw how much the offense opened up even with a marginal guard like bobby brown. having an extra ballhandler against good defensive teams makes a huge difference for our anemic 2nd unit.
We have seen solid guards go to contenders before. We either need Daryl Morey to discover a young stud, or we need an old ass guy that doesn't mind riding pine like Eddie Johnson/Jason Terry/Bobby Jackson.
He'll be back in 2 weeks and he will be fine. Keep things positive and stop worry about things u can't control.
So? Neither are better players than CP3. Neither can run an offense like CP3. Neither are even top 3 in their positions.
Hint - just saying that when your smalls are out with a bad case of bone on bone.... It can't hurt to have a big body like DMO. SIL
