@Mecca what do you think about the lineup?

Too many players that need the ball in their hands. Russ and Harden both need the ball in their hands to initiate offense. I don't think any of them are great stand in the corner players

That was my thought when I saw that they were going to start all 4 of them. As I posted the other day, one of the Clippers issues is that they get stagnant on offense, especially late. Not sure how this addresses that.

I guess it could potentially work if Harden plays like he did through the 1st half of last season...but even then, you still want at least 1 "catch and shoot guy".

Who's going to be that guy? Zubac?

I think GS might take the crown for most crybabies on a roster after adding CP3

its unreal.

not sure I would pay Klay Foot Thompson at this point.

the amount of whining is just unbelievable. LeBron is a disgusting whiner but he looks an amateur compared to these guys.

TT can still crash the boards and provide some toughness.....i like him getting a few minutes per game.

I think exactly this.

Someone, *see Russ, will be a token starter.

Play a couple of minutes to start the game , head to the bench, play most of their minutes with the 2nd unit

They have to use Harden or Russ to lead the 2nd squad but I have no clue what they should do in late game situations. Gotta be one of the most difficult jobs that I can remember. I am not envious of Lue

they fucked over russ. He was able to show he can still play here but now he likely goes into a similar role/situation as he was with the lakers....i hope im wrong though

The way they make this work imo is only play russ/harden together to start the half and to close the game. IMO for it to work while both on the court, Russ should be the PG since harden is the better shooter
