    He likes him based on performance obviously. Morey, unlike you, didn’t start watching Shumpert last week.

    I'm thinking either Clark or Hartenstein. Probably the former than latter.

    Here's my take on it:
    I'd say Harden/CP3/House/Tucker/Capela
    bench: Rivers/Green/Gordon/Faried
    supernumeraries: Shumpert/Clark/Nene or Hartenstein

    Since Gordon has been playing majority of the season on him as starting SF. It surely would have taken a toll on him if we continue to start the regular starters in the playoffs rounds by rounds. So I would suggest starting House and give him around 20-28 minutes a game. Eric is more lethal and shows more shooting more effectively coming off the bench with better decision making!

    Harden
    Cp3
    House
    Tucker
    Capela

    Gordon
    Shump
    Faried/Nene depending on matchup.

    I'm assuming Shump doesn't play himself out the rotation. Rivers and Green are situational guys during non blow out times, when you need some defense/ball handling and shooting respectively. MDA prefers a tight rotation and I think an 8 man rotation would be to his liking.

    CP3
    Harden
    Gordon
    Tucker
    Capela
    ---------

    House
    Green
    Faried

    Rivers situational, we have enough ball handlers. Nene depending on match-ups. Shumpert only if Green stinks the place up, Green has earned his stripes and I'm stunned so many have him out of the rotation. Shumpert hasn't shown a damn thing to deserve a place in the rotation. I don't expect House to take Gordon's spot, because:
    A) we've been winning
    B) Gordon has been playing great as a starter
    C) there's not enough time for House to get back in
    D) would mess with chemistry potentially, Gordon is finally having fun!
