i would still want House on the team as an injury insurance. you never know who would go down next as season goes on.
THIS injuries will happen you can bet on it....it would be nice to have someone capable replace the injured
Yes,driving to the rim is a strength of his. Gosh, I miss Rudy T's coaching, he knew how to get the best out of every role player by playing to their strengths . Harden and Chris Paul would have a field day with him too.
I bet Steve and Cat could be pretty damn good in today's NBA too, especially If you had them shooting bulk three pointers. Both had stepbacks in their games. Full isolation packages and good shooters.

If you want more DRB/Blks/greater FG% and 3P% put in House. Ast’s go to House. I’m not sure why (because Eric Gordon is suppose to be a facilitator also); but it may be too many “cooks in the kitchen” with Harden/Westbrook/Gordon at one time. Just my belief. They be tripping over themselves......hesitating and too much thinking, leading to less ball movement.
voted for house back then and still support him now EG gonna be gone after this season if we don't make the finals. book it
Loving House, but don’t sleep on playoff EG just yet. He always brings it when everyone starts playing hard.
If the dude couldn't get healthy after four months off, I just have very little faith remaining that he's ever going to be healthy this year (if ever again in his career). I think what Gordon did for us his first three years in Houston fairly earned him his contract, but the timing was awful. It looks like he's fallen back into the the pattern he was in in NO, and has left us with more dead weight that will make our window painfully small.
