Should EG continue to be the starting SF in the Jazz Series?

    As we all know, the starting SF of EG is to pursue offensive energy(especially the three-point shots) at the expense of team height and rebounds. But when EG continues to be a brick, should we change it in time? Should we guard against it?

    You can check the personal data and performance of EG against Jazz this season. It's so bad that it can't be described in words. Bad condition,Impetuous dribbling rhythm bad shooting rhythm,Wilfully squandering a lot of easy 3.

    To be honest, because EG's shot felt like a barometer, I had nightmares for two nights. The nightmare is that in the first series, EG's average three-point scoreboard is 2/10.:eek::eek::eek:

    The second half of EG season, 48% of the three-point goal is very hot, I never deny that.

    But I found that when EG got stuck in bricks, he would lose himself throughout the game.

    I trust MDA will play hot hand in any critical 4Q, better than Bzdelik anyway.

    When you’re the best team since the break and elite on both sides of the ball. Yeah I’d say the lineups work. Adjustments will come if necessary but at this point it isn’t

    Manimal at the 4, Tuck at 3, Capela at 5. EG off the bench.

    EG was not good at the start of the season. He is much better now. I'm not sure why everyone wants to bench EG when the Rockets have the 2nd best offense and 2nd best defense after the ASB when EG has been starting. Last two blow out wins against Utah, EG started.

    Rocket have no need to start Faried when Jae Crowder and Joe Ingles are starting at the SF and PF.

    Don’t really care want to miss with the rotation.
    The question is:
    How much playing time for nonproductive players?
    Will coach use a quick hand to pull said players because of depth?

    Only Harden, Paul & Capela get passes on the slow starts all others should be pulled.

    Eric Gordon was kind of up and down all year. I don't think you can look at a sample of 4 games and draw any conclusions from it.

    If the Jazz start Favors with Gobert, maybe we counter with a Faried/Capela front court and bring Gordon off the bench.

    No all that’s required is the common sense to pull him out when he’s off. Seems to difficult for coaches...

    our starting lineup should be:

    5-Clint
    4-Manimal
    3-Tucker
    2-Harden
    1-CP3

    2nd Unit:
    5-Clint
    4-Tucker
    3-House
    2-EG
    1-Harden

    House and EG should be playing heavy minutes off the bench. Rivers, Nene and Green filling in for minor minutes when needed.

    We need to stop giving up the rebound advantage to other teams. We need to stop playing Tucker so much against longer 4's who shoot over him like he's not there. Manimal should be playing starter minutes at the 4, and Tucker should be playing most of his minutes at the 3. EG should be getting 30 min off the bench.

    Still think we're too small and bench too weak when Gordon starts, but it's working so don't fug with it.

    Rockets can do a draft night trade to get Grayson "40 point" Allen in exchange for Austin river!

    I think Gordon is best coming off the bench, but DA is the coach and likely doesn't read CF.

    No, house should.......or Faried and slide PJ there......but EGo is a much better shooter when fresh......let him go against the 2nd teamers.

    The team just seems so focused that I’m not too worried about them.
