That four can no longer play for us.
Before Harden gets settled it’ll already be weekend.
TMann is injured and won’t be back for the games this week.

Which leaves Ty Lue with a very interesting task for our Magic and Lakers games.

I think the obvious move is pushing PG and Kawhi to 3 and 4 - the same positions they’ll play when Harden is here. On the 2 spot you put Norman Powell. I’m not sure Bones starting makes sense yet.

That means our starting 5 will look as follows: RW/Norm/PG/Kawhi/Zu

And the bench? That’s the interesting part: the only untouched pieces are Bones and Plumgod.
Which means there’s no way we can play 48 minutes without going deeper on the bench.

And that in turn means KOBE BROWN PLAYING REAL MINUTES FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK!

​

Who knows… maybe these two games will be looked at as the moment Kobe Brown gained his rotation spot.
