Need lineup change: Jeff Green

better fit in this micro ball system.

 

Harden just added about 3 years to Green's career. People thought he was done in Utah.

 

I would say MDA system also helped immensely.

Jeff would not have played small ball 5 anywhere else.

 

START: Harden/Westy/HOuse (Gordon here when healthy) /Covington/Green

BENCH: PJ/Rivers/BMac/House(when Gordon starts)

 

not since Chandler Parsons and DMO

 

It's time to start Uncle Jeff!!!

 

Green as a starter: 8 for 8 from inside the arc, missed his only two 3 point opportunities. I'd say since OKC is big, start the man!

 

This would make most sense IMO.

Harden-EGo-PJ-RoCo-Green

Rockets can always change starting lineup, insert House, Rivers or BMac over EGo at anytime.

 

I'll take Harden McLemore Roco PJ Green.

 

I think this answers question if this is simply a hot streak or if Jeff has finally been unlocked.

 

Not worried about the lack of consistent shooting but I am more worried about who gives Tucker or Covington a breather when Green gets moved to starting lineup. Unless luc can turn into 2017 luc...

 

Yep. If only Luc or even friggin Bruno could provide just 10 minutes.

Otherwise the combo of PJ/RoCo/Green will have to stagger their minutes.

We may see more of Demarre or Frazier than we want if there is foul trouble or injury.

 

If we see Frazier or Demar on the court then we've raised the white flag or we're blowing em out. Expect harden to play every
minute

 

Let's not get carried away. Capela grabbed 14 rebounds, blocked 2 shots and was a better defender inside while on par with Green on perimeter defense.

He's as much better defensively as Green is offensively. The difference of course is Green makes like 10% of what Capela makes. I wish he would grab some more rebounds but he's been a great signing overall.

 

I rather have Green, if only MDA started him. Him coming off the bench probably makes people less appreciative.

 

let's make our horrendous bench even worse. great idea OP
