Houston doesn't have a "Death Line-up". Eric Gordan and Trevor Ariza? PJ Tucker? The Death Line-up is about more than just shooting 3's. It's really about high basketball IQ and multiple guys that can run the offense. Of the 5 guys in the line-up, Klay is the only one who couldn't run the point in this offense, followed by KD. And they're arguably the two best scorer. Definitely two of the three best along with Steph. What makes this line-up so deadly is the fact that Draymond, Iguodala, KD, and Klay can all defend multiple positions. And when they force turnovers and get out on breaks, they can all run the offense. They are all high basketball IQ players. They all make the right move. Most teams get out on a break and kick it to a primary ball handler. Usually there are only on or two on the team. I haven't watched Gordan, Ariza, and Tucker enough to know if they do this.

Ariza, Gordon, Harden, Paul, Tucker in 10 minutes tonight = 125.2 ORTG, 95 DRTG, 30.2 net rating
That was their 2nd most utilised line up
Ariza, Capela, Harden, Paul, Tucker in 12 minutes = 114.5 ORTG, 133.6 DRTG, -19 net rating
Also in game one:
Capela, Gordon, Harden, Paul, Tucker in 6 minutes = 126.9 ORTG, 96.4 DRTG, +30.5 net rating

Let's see PJ tucker do that again. He, nor Ariza, and to an extent Gordon, are not decision makers. They catch and shoot. Tucker had some drives. He is a versatile defender, as is Ariza. Gordon is not. Let's see it again.

These 3 guys, Tucker Gordon Ariza, will have a very hard time replicating what they did in game 2. They're all streaky, inconsistent players that happened to get hot at the same time. I'd be very surprised if they can do it again
