I see Russ starting and Harden finishing as he's much better in the half court especially if the game comes to a crawl and slug fight. Russ is for the open floor-end to end-easy bucket getter and creator. I'm just hoping PG isn't thrown off and continues to play like he's playing which is awesome.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.
