    If that’s the case then we could just throw Gordon out there at the 4 to stretch the defense.

    Tucker brings more overall than ryno. He’s not shooting 3 steps behind the 3 pt line but he literally does everything else that this team needs better.

    Great job from our team managment.

    This team is stacked. IF it wasn't for cupcakes snake move we would be best team in nba no doubt. We still arguably are... but warriors still have the edge in another gear and exprience.

    Make them play us, and not the other way around. Have many teams really have a 4 that can abuse Luc on offense?

    Ryno off the bench always made a lot of sense.

    I'm not opposed to playing this starting lineup

    James
    Chris
    Luc
    PJ
    Clint

    I think the key is to be flexible and willing to make quick subs . With Ariza , Ryan , Gordon , green , and JJ as options .... We can really be proactive and play so many different combos at the 2/3/4 .

    That first lineup is probably our best defensive lineup ( for most match ups ) and can allow us to really set the pace . Then we can bring in our snipers and start bombing away .

    We can keep James and Chris fresh .... And I think the addition of JJ might give us another ball handler . He can mimic ( to a lesser extent ) some of the things that Chris and James ( or more realistically Eric ) do .

    The key will be if MDA can find enough time for each player to keep guys somewhat in rhythm . Also more importantly , we have enough depth where I think James can take games off and we can still expect to win . We have enough 2-way play from everyone else.

    I'm so excited
