Only 2 ways this works

1 one player is always hurt and the other three step up

Or

2 Harden comes off the bench like OKC days.

Yeah, harden definitely needs to come off the bench.

Do not let him fukk up this chemistry.
I agree. Keep the starting five as is. Let Russ start things off as he's damn near looking like his all star old self. Plus with Russ running the point it's taken all the pressure off PG and now he's ballin' out at an MVP level. Lue will figure it out. I'm wondering does Bones make Norm Powell expendable. I think we got something with Kobe Brown going forward. He needs to be ahead of PJ Tucker in the rotation when he comes aboard

-added you to the team list btw

The talent is there. Kawhi looks very good, but PG has been phenomenal.

Harden should stabilize the offense and hopefully we get an end of so much ISO ball and find some kind of go-to play in clutch time.

Russ makes the game so easy for PG. It's crazy. Kawhi benefits too, but not as much.

Have harden off the bench for scoring and to allow kawhi more time for rest.

Start bones, trade Norm for another wing defender and shooter.

Norm for OG straight up?

Starters were gassed plus they haven't played in a back to back like that in ages. Russ and Zu in the second half :hhh: Kinda sucked that Lue went away from Kobe Brown and played PJ like he was Marcus Morris :unimpressed:

I wonder how Russ is going to react to coming off the bench in many of these games with the acquisition of Harden.

Could have used Harden that game. Really hope Tucker doesn't turn into Lue’s new Mook. Kawhi balled out but his legs were done by the end.

Knicks
Nets
Mavs
Grizz
Denver

We need to go at least 3-2 over this stretch.

Option A. Russ starts but finishes on the bench.
Option B. Russ starts on bench but finishes.

Russ, Bones, and Norm on that second unit is not ideal. Lue has got everything he asked for this season time for him to earn his check.
