    This is our lineup when our "starters" are off the floor.

    Paul
    Gordon
    Luc
    Tucker
    Nene

    That is a stellar 2nd unit that will crush opposing second units.
    Would make a run for homecourt in the East.

    Seems a bit facetious to say the he starters are off the floor because cp3 is a starter. Nonetheless, I think the biggest luxury of having cp3 and harden is the obvious stagger of 48 minutes of elite PG play, so I agree about the 2nd unit thing

    I mean TECHNICALLY it's true.
    Kinda crazy how other teams haven't thought of doing something similar to this.

    I think Phoenix already attempted this strategy in essence but never with this type of talent or ultimately that much success.

    I vaguely remember someone referencing the 72-3 Knicks with Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe as being a close comp.

    Championship. Lol

    As of last night, the lineup is

    Paul
    Gordon
    Luc/Tucker
    Ryno
    Nene

    Ryno sat down with Paul at the 7 minute mark and returned at the 2 minute mark, and played with EGo and Paul for 8 minutes. Harden, Ariza and Capela pretty much rest and return together. This was true last year, too.
