I'm not delusional enough to think that this lineup will give the Warriors any trouble with their death lineup but I think this lineup can do some damage.
Ball (6'6)
Hart (6'5)
Ingram (6'9)
Kuzma (6'9)
Bron (6'9)
This lineup has atleast 2 very good shooters, atleast 2 very good defenders, atleast 2 very good scorers , and 2 guys with IQ levels that are off the chart.

i would replace ball with kcp until lonzo learns to shoot with consistency.
but that group will be nasty. |

Honestly, I think Lonzo will be the second most important piece if that lineup after Lebron. He's the best defender in that lineup by far at this point, and I think his jumpshot will be improved this year.

The nice thing is we have a lot of mix/match players this year, unlike last year when due to injury, Travis Wear was our starting SF and Ennis playing major PG minutes.
Lonzo down? Bring in Rondo.
KCP in jail? Bring out Hart.
BI feeling gimpy? Lance or LBJ.
And so on.

You only need a rim protector when the defender is trailing, if you switch everything the defender won’t trail unless you are terrible at defense. These guys are all good defenders.
Also basketball is like boxer, styles make the fights. If we build our identity to push the pace and get a bunch of lay ups every game from steals and missed 3s while forcing teams to play ISO because of our strong switching (rockets forced gsw) then i like our changes. Lebron is the best player in the open court, then you add in lonzo, hart, kuz and ingram. Everytime any of these players grab a rebound they won’t be looking to pass to our Pg.. they are pushing. They will kee teams on their heels.

Lance
KCP
Ingram
Kuzma
LeBron

The Warriors are going to be running out of gas and the Rockets just took them to 7 games. Why does nobody think we have a chance? |

Honestly I think any lineup of death we throw out there next season should include Rondo, especially if it's in the playoffs.
I'm starting to warm up to the idea of Rondo and Bron just killing teams in the playoffs together. That's a ton of experience and IQ and competitiveness right there. |

You bring up 2 very good points. The first one especially.  |

Yeah, after I sent I realized I’m forgot Rondo. Still don’t know if Hart makes the cut. He’ll have time to show off.

Then let's call it the "Round Table" or "Camelot" lineup or something - a King with 4 Knights around him.
And Magic would be Merlin, of course.  |
