Like it or not, they need DeMar's offense out there. Harden and Isaiah Thomas are even worse defensive sieves than DeMar, but they aren't going anywhere. If you want to mitigate the defensive issues, probably best to manage timeouts well so you can make lots of offense/defense subs late in games.

I think if Casey is smart he puts Lowry in with that unit for offense. DD as a sixth man makes the most sense. He provides absolutely nothing but offense. He shouldn't be on the floor in the clutch. Ditto JV / bring him in for offense but if either of them aren't scoring let them sit.
