Rivers is one of the dumbest players out there, right next to Klay Thompson. He makes erratic decisions more often than not, cannot afford that during a close game.
not exactly a starter swap, but CC only played 21 min today and Rivers played 27 min. So Mac maybe knows something we don't. Props.
Rivers is a better fit against the Warriors small lineup. You can then have CP3 guard Curry, Rivers and Gordon guarding Thompson and Iguodala, Tucker guarding Durant, and Harden guarding Draymond. In this series, Capela has to be able to hold his own in switches or cover Draymond Green in space. Both are tough assignments for him. Offensively, as long as the Warriors take away the lob, he lacks the necessary skill to make them pay for targeting him defensively.
no. we need someone to score off the bench. chris needs to step the **** up. he, harden, and eg are mroe than enough offense in the starting unit.
Why it's working with small ball even at the level cp3 is playing. Why magical pray for cp3 to be better when u have the answer with him at his current level...unleas u just dont like winning at any cost
the point of having someone scoring off the bench is to take some of the scoring load from your main scorer. and with paul not dropping 20ppg harden needs someone to consistently help. eg isnt enough and cant rely on him having crazy efficient games every game.
Why isnt eg enough tho. Gordon could always score more if he was a starter...n I told people early in the season when they kept crying about moving eg back to the bench n I told yall. Ego would be the starter the rest of the year n that it would prove that it was the best decision mda made the whole season...cause I felt they was preparing ego for a greater role in the playoffs. N I also said that Gordon really was a starter but in years past we didnt have anything else that work off the bench...I said that changed with Austin....that's more a 6 man then gordon....Gordon is a borderline allstar when he good. He a super 6th. U.really dont need a super 6 in this NBA cause most teams are front loaded. I felt austin is perfect....people forget the one thing Gordon does that most guys like Crawford or lue Williams does do is play lock down d...they knew that. So u was getting basically our version of klay with having him a starter.. . A
if clint cant figure it out next game then im ok with it. having an agile shot blocking center who's not a midget like green is a huge game changer. he doesnt need to get a bunch of lobs. just rebounds and defense.
Knowing how you role with harden out there. CP3 Getting old, should the rockets give him that starter role. I mean CP0 coming off the bench would be something.
