    OKC Updates:

    Lu Dort is out.

    Expect Roberson on Harden. He may not be 100% either.

    House on SGA should be so good.

    For the Rockets.

    PJ finger injury has been an issue for awhile.

    Maybe not tired legs affecting his 3ball.

    Harden-Green tandem is my favorite thing to watch on offense.

    Their chemistry is outstanding.

    Green Needs to start at the 5

    Harden - Green - ROCO - PJ - Benny Mac

    Gordon - Rivers - House - <insert defensive matchup player(s) here>

    Love the idea of Green starting but going to need House on SGA and EGo on CP3.

    Everytime EGo sits, Green needs to replace him.

    EGo and Green will be the primary short rollers while Russ is out.

    Anyone remember that Nader was originally a Rocket for 2 seconds?

    I recall wanting to keep him over some other scrubs (looking at you Vince Edwards).

    I feel like someone already said Ariza and Beverley ?

    I was think Ariza and Clint at first just for defense , but that takes green out of the lineup and he’s good . We’d be relying on James / Eric / Austin for all guard play . (Until WB comes back )

    still a defensive frontcourt of roco / pj / Ariza / Clint is absurd .

    There are so many combos which are potentially badass .

    can you imagine how many more 3’s we’d jack up if we got Gerald green back ? Who is best to pair with him lol ? Lou will ? Harrell haha

    And when Rockets play Green with both PJ and RoCo, they combine into the perfect small ball 5.

    On offense and defense.
