    EGO is better off the bench. With Rivers disappearing and that last bucks game it’s clear we need more of a punch from the reserves.

    It’ll also help House’s confidence for the post season, as he is our 3rd best player and can really boost the starting lineup

    I fail to see how he can be the 3rd best player on the roster.

    Harden, CP, Capela...

    No one fall for this garbage. He's just a troll.

    House is at best the sixth best player on this roster AT BEST.

    Lol... Look, man. I'm on board w House since hes done well for us.

    But we aren't winning many games without Capela grabbing boards, setting picks, dunking lobs, and shutting down the paint on D.

    We aren't even getting past the Clippers without Capela...

    Seriously we are so much better with House as a starter and Ego feasting on the bench of the other team.

    House's size and athleticism is something the starting lineup needs.

    Not to mention he is a better shooter than Gordon.

    Don't think it makes a difference who starts between House and EGo, as long as the minutes and player combos stay the same.

    We dont need to change the starters. EG is their to space the floor for James at the start of the game. He and Cp3 sub out House and Shump come in few minutes later James and Tucker comes out Eg CP3 Faried Come in. This is fine Eg becomes primary scorer when James comes out and House takes PJ's spot in the corner. Here is the crazy part if the Rox just hit half of their WIDE OPEN SHOTS they will nullify the 30 assists avg. that Golden State Warriors generate thru 3 to 4 passes. Iso and pICK N ROLL BASKET BALL WILL PREVAIL WITH A DOMINANT SCORER

    This starting lineup is now 17-4 on the season and y’all want to change it.

    Let House feed on these bench units like he has been. Seems to be working nicely.

    I love capela, but comeon man A LOT of what clint does is due to Harden's godlike passing and drawing the defense.

    Starting House would just put his value through the roof and on the radar of just about every other team, not what I want this off-season.

    House is playing well against the weaker teams. He definitely has promise, but he is a bench player for sure. A solid off season will do him a lot of good. I hope he can step up against the Clippers.

    If House is going to replace/displace a starter, it should be Tucker, not Gordon.
