He likes him based on performance obviously. Morey, unlike you, didn’t start watching Shumpert last week.

Here's my take on it: I'd say Harden/CP3/House/Tucker/Capela bench: Rivers/Green/Gordon/Faried supernumeraries: Shumpert/Clark/Nene or Hartenstein Since Gordon has been playing majority of the season on him as starting SF. It surely would have taken a toll on him if we continue to start the regular starters in the playoffs rounds by rounds. So I would suggest starting House and give him around 20-28 minutes a game. Eric is more lethal and shows more shooting more effectively coming off the bench with better decision making!
Harden Cp3 House Tucker Capela Gordon Shump Faried/Nene depending on matchup. I'm assuming Shump doesn't play himself out the rotation. Rivers and Green are situational guys during non blow out times, when you need some defense/ball handling and shooting respectively. MDA prefers a tight rotation and I think an 8 man rotation would be to his liking.
CP3 Harden Gordon Tucker Capela --------- House Green Faried Rivers situational, we have enough ball handlers. Nene depending on match-ups. Shumpert only if Green stinks the place up, Green has earned his stripes and I'm stunned so many have him out of the rotation. Shumpert hasn't shown a damn thing to deserve a place in the rotation. I don't expect House to take Gordon's spot, because: A) we've been winning B) Gordon has been playing great as a starter C) there's not enough time for House to get back in D) would mess with chemistry potentially, Gordon is finally having fun!
