    Legit question? Westbrook, Green, Rivers and Bmac...damn. Slowly bringing him back. If it works, maybe longer

    You’re asking if MDA should bring Russ off the bench permanently as a 6th man?

    no, he will be starting when he comes back.
    It is very unlike MDA to do that to a superstar, Gordon or House will move to the bench unit.

    nah, he starts...u can’t disrespect Russ like that, and that’s not a solution or an option for when we play better teams, so I don’t see why MDA should try it

    We should put focus vs blazers, this is not an easy game. They have 5 strong positions especially center. I suggest keep westbrooks 100 percent healthy first until our straight win stop.

    quads are a different injury, you have to let it rest and walk it out. Westbrook too damn good driving to the basket hes been averaging over 30 pts over 45% since capela trade. The defense has to respect him and collapse on him or else hes gonna score and he ll have wide open shooters.

    No, but he'll probably be the first sub out. No need to push his minutes.

    Until Gordon gets his shot back, Westbrook and Gordon shouldn't share the court together unless Harden is also on the court.

    Move Ego to bench when Russ gets back. He's not near as effective sharing the court with both Harden and Russ

    Russ will start. Statistics show the House plays better as a starter and EGo better as the 6th man. So naturally, House will come off the bench and EGo will start lol

    Russ should start. The adjustment MDA should make is let the bench play without Russ for a couple minutes and let Russ run with Harden more.
