    The problem is Cp3 keeps everyone relevant and accountable through the game from the time the ball is inbounded all 5 guys have to pay attention. Cp3 initiates the offense a lot sooner than james. Harden initiates it with just enough time for their to be an iso plus he is allowing teams defense to cinch down on him and his teammates very easily. There is more ball movement and body movement the way cp3 plays. DON'T get me wrong I think the way James plays is just as important but only at certain parts of the game in particular when they run the high pick n roll. James needs to keep the pedal to the medal but the offense we saw in Golden State needs to be our regular style with James style being a counterpunch. To me that keeps the defense working and honest trying to stop us and always playing from behind.

    Capela/Hilario
    House/Faried
    Shumpert/Tucker
    Harden/Gordon/Green
    Paul/Rivers

    I want to see....... Capela/Tucker/Shumpert/Harden/Paul on the floor defensively at the end of games if we have a lead.

    Nice creative thinking as usual Nook. I hope DM will realize that House can still help the team, it's on House too of course. Danuel doesn't have much talent, but he is tough minded and physical. He doesn't fear Draymond or KD despite being outmatched by them.

    But, how about that terrible coach that everyone complains about that is
    bringing out the best in Faried with career high numbers?

    The numbers don't bear that out this season, but I agree that the idea of Gordon off of the bench as a secondary creator is the best fit.

    Anywho, I'm nervous about House's return and how consistent he'll be. I say start Gordon.

    This team can do some things if they're healthy. Really excited about the rest of the season.
