    Good question. Tough to know how to feel. For me, I know I will feel better if Harden comes out and plays hard and at least looks like he is interested in winning basketball games. On the other hand, if he just stands around the 3pt line and jacks 3's all game, looks disinterested, and basically makes his teammates worse, then I am not going to feel very well at all.

    LOL

    Same small ball line up + Cousins in place of RoCo that MDA trotted out.

    Except defense will be much shittier.

    Silas is already terrible. Jesus ****ing Christ. No way in hell should Gordon start over Nwaba or House.


    And fundamentally Gordon doesn’t add much to a lineup with the offensive firepower of Harden/Wall/Wood anyway. He’s a 4th option at best. He’s a dumb version of PJ Tucker offensively....







    With some handles...And a first step...But still a dumb chucker.

    Spurs legend: Not that impressed by James Harden

    “They added stuff for these guys to score,” explained Gervin. “When I played, you could put your hands on me and stop my forward progress. It made it a lot tougher for me to score.”

    “James can flat-out shoot the ball,” said George. “Is he accurate? No, he’s streaky. Am I impressed with that? I’m impressed with some of the long shots he shoots. But you’re talking to a guy that averaged 30 and shot 50 percent whereas he’s averaging 38 and shooting 35 to 40 percent. So I’m not going to be that impressed.

    Be serious. Gordon is neither an optimal fit not a better player than House or Nwaba right now in the starting lineup.

    You know thisz

    And he’s starting off banged up. Silas might be stupid. Let’s follow this closely

    I think House is actually pretty capable to attacking closeouts. Plus it'd be nice to have EGo's scoring off the bench but we'll see how it goes.
