I don't have a problem with notnplaying him last night . He hasn't been with the NBA squad for like 2-3 months He needs a film session/ practice under his belt otherwise you are putting him in a position to fail
Honestly, this was 100% a cost cutting move and it pisses me off, I don't blame DM, he is doing his owners bidding, but House starting was working and we were not so undersized. Letting him go for basically money reasons, hurt our chemistry - he should have been converted and kept playing.... DD
Rox were on a 9 game win streak and a game away from 3rd seed how "hurt" was the chemistry exactly? House's size didnt help him in the GLeague where he was shooting 30%. I get it Rox just lost by 2 pts to the best team in NBA history and maybe they would've won if House played instead of Shumpert. But stop acting like House is a superstar wtf like Rox would be 1st seed if House had played. House is only 6'7 how the helk would he help the team be less undersized when Cousins and Iggy are taller than him?
They might not be in 3rd with him playing they might be even BETTER, and fighting for first seed, that is HOW it hurt our chemistry. And Harden would have not had to carry the team so hard with House giving him a blow, causing him to be basically exhausted lately. DD
clear example of why threads like house is overrated exists. its utterly ridiculous how people hold this guy up to the standard of some star. especially when hes done nothing to warrant it an undrafted nba/g-league player still trying to find a spot, has somehow become the key to being the difference in a #1 seed. some of yall really need to just shut up
I will try to explain it for folks like you who are only looking at it from a 1v1 scenario and not team wide impact. it is not about replacement, it is about chemistry and fit, both offensively and defensively. House would be our 2nd tallest starter behind Capella - and his athleticism, defense, and shot making ability make the starters both taller, and better overall, and it allows EGO to come off the bench and feast on 2nd team level opponents, it helps to have a SF that is taller than our starting PF to rebound the ball better. It just makes the OVERALL team better, not that he is a star, or replaces one, but that he makes the TEAM better due to his size, athleticism and show making. House - like Ariza is a big key to our success......sometimes ROLE players fit a role so perfectly they elevate the overall team. House is that guy. DD
whats this delusional chemistry and fit. the rockets have been absolutely rolling with out him. apparently his chemistry and fit was so good that they played even better without him. gtfoh with all these gimmicks. hes a depth piece to this team. nothing more, nothing less. that certainly isn't the difference between being a #1 seed
Look at how he attacks the basket to both score and set up his teamates, WHAT OTHER role player do we have that does this AND plays D? And for crying out loud contribute to this forum - Clutch deserves it. DD
Maybe you should check yourself, you are basically saying House is good enough to lift the Rockets from 3rd seed to 1st seed? If he was that good then he would be HOF in the Gleague and not shooting 30% from 3. The notion that House is good enough to give Harden a rest is insane. So basically House is as good as Cp3 right? Because he can carry the load and give Harden a rest wtf!!!
If he was this good he would be dominating the Gleague and locking down opponents. Gleague is 30x easier than the NBA is he had that much fire in him how come he got outplayed by Hartenstein and Tjones? You put Eric Gordon in the Gleague he would score 50 a night. Somebody who can turn the Rox from 3rd seed to 1st seed as you claim should make the RGV undefeated and beat every team by 20 pts.
Danuel House averaged all of 1 assist a game what setting up teammates are you talking about? House would've improved the chemistry of the Rox all the way to 1st seed because as we can see from his record he makes set up his teammates enough to get 1 assist a game. I can probably find a highlight of Gerald Green making an insane pass that doesn't mean he is gonna be the next Cp3.
I have a feeling even if House plays 36 minutes the HOF's will still be crying about an injustice they suffered.
Sigh, I tried to explain how sometimes a perfect fit elevates the team, but somehow, some people just don't understand team oriented sports..... Oh well. House makes the team better, PERIOD! DD
Absolutely right we don't need to sacrifice the big picture by doing stupid stuff like rushing him back. To me the rotations and the gameplanning really starts now since we have a full roster

A moderately above average player with strengths that fill weaknesses, over scrubs who kill lineups is the difference between a few wins in a season. And a big overall difference.
