What if this line up is much better than the one we have now? They have to try everything. Like last night they closed with Russ and not Harden, that’s what peaked my interest in this.

    When the big 4 lineup was starting, Lue should’ve had Harden take on a spot up shooter role. Harden is literally one of the most elite shooters of all time and arguably the best 3pt shooter on this team, but lue decides to make Russ a spot up shooter? Doesn’t make sense.

      Lue was literally trying that. He outwardly said that Russ would be the primary ball handler, and it went horribly.

      The issue is that you’re now playing through your 4th best starter and giving him higher usage than your 3 star players. It made sense when we didn’t have Harden, because PG/Kawhi aren’t Point Guards. It doesn’t make much sense the second you get a better PG in Harden.
