Would we use our Sugar Land 5 lineup of CP3, Harden, Melo, Big Tuck, and Capela in late, close game situations? We don't have a lock down defender at that position anyways.
If we want solid defense, we should start Ennis. If we want better offense, then we should start Melo, instead of Gordon.
based on what? ennis is still a very much unproven player. people have no idea how he's going to respond. you don't just throw someone like that expecting him to be an ariza replacement. he's not.if he happens to progress as the season goes in and meshes well with the core guys in the starting 5 then they can adjust from there. But obviously they have a plan for him to play next to melo to cover his weakness which is more ideal for the actual team success Im glad the rockets are still showing they're smart enough to do what they're doing now and that's maintain their continuity that worked so well months ago
