NBA is about to start tomorrow. Whether Harden or likes it or not, he has not been sent away before the start of the new season! This means that in the next period of time, Harden will have to wear the Rockets jersey to participate in the game.
Today, Rockets coach Silas talked about the team’s starting lineup for the new season in an interview. Z12z Silas said: "I hope Gordon will be the main scorer when he is on the court, but he will do it if he starts. Not that."
Regarding the Rockets' starting lineup for the new season, there is actually only one position that is uncertain, and that is the starting position 3. Harden and Wall will surely occupy positions 1 and 2, and Tucker has been the starting position 4 and 5 of the Rockets for many consecutive seasons. Currently, there is no player in the Rockets lineup that can replace Tucker. Then there is the new aid Wood. Judging from the state of Wood in the final game of the preseason, Wood is well-deserved as the starting No. 5. Will House or Gordon be the No. 3 position of coach Silas? In the D'Antoni era, Gordon also played the sixth man, but because of Ariza's departure, Gordon was put on the starting position again. In recent years, Gordon has also been in and out of the starting and bench. Returning to the bench in the new season I believe that from the perspective of play, Gordon will not be too uncomfortable!

Gordon said when talking about the feeling of being a substitute: "It's always a bit difficult and weird for me to play on the bench for , but like when I started, I will perform the same from the bench."
"When I play as a substitute, I will have more possessions and more personal offensive opportunities. I have no problem with playing off the bench or starting. I fully respect the decisions and arrangements of coach Silas. Like he said, as long as you can win. I really don't care." Gordon said.
Actually, for Gordon and the Rockets, playing off the bench is really not a bad choice. One is that the Rockets’ starting lineup already has two elite guards, Harden and Wall, and Gordon’s words will not only make the lineup shorter, but also feel a bit violent! The second is that Gordon’s return to the bench can improve the distribution of firepower between the starting and the bench. Harden, Wall, and Gordon are the "three shots" of the Rockets outside. They are all concentrated in the starting line. This easily leads to insufficient bench firepower and the team scores. Lack of continuity!
From Gordon’s conversation, it seems that Gordon has no complaints! I hope Gordon can find who he once was~
