    Gordon would have been out there instead of House if this mattered. I ain't worried.

    House massively choked tonight. I for one am worried. He looked like a GLeaguer tonight. No intensity on defense at all. Dreadful on both ends.

    House cannot fail. He can only be failed.

    The 4th Q from House was no bueno. He's human - learn from it.

    He had a bad game. Why the excuses? Everyone has bad games. He had some boneheaded plays. He contributed to the loss and he wasn't the only one to do that. I've been asking for a week about when he's going to have some off nights, the dude had been unusually good for a long stretch of games.

    If you ask me, the game was lost because everyone but Harden and Tucker sucked. Green brought us back with his late 3's. CP3 had a few good plays. Other than that, everyone mostly sucked.

    The whole team's body language was garbage. I don't want to hear no BS about how tired they are. I know how tired they are. You don't get to tire your players, publicly dispute the value of rest and then say "aww they were tired". They were grumpy, slow, lacked energy and took for granted that they would be able to come back for a win. The Grizzlies have nothing to play for and played like it was a playoff game. We have everything to play for (chief among them, a blowout W to get rest and climb the standings) and we played like we've already clinched 1st seed. It would have been really nice to have Faried off the bench for short stretches to break the dullness of their energy a little bit and give Tucker/Capela a bit more of a breather.

    The coaches and most of the players should be ashamed of this effort. Instead of buying themselves rest tonight and possibly later in the season, they went to OT and lost.

    I'm more worried about Rivers. He's been pretty much trash the last 2 months.

    I don't even think House would blame it on not being on the team in jan-feb lol this is silly logic.

    these guys are professionals, g leaguers know you need to be ready to get called up at any moment. you act like he was sitting on his ass for a few months instead of playing pro ball

    3-8 is a good 3pt percentage, he still shot 38% from 3.

    The board once again is ruled by James Harden

    I mean, he hit a clutch shot the night prior.

    I wouldn't be too concerned.

    Did you watch the game?

    He played like the black Jeremy Lin in the playoffs.

    Pressure definitely got to him. Here is to hoping it was just a learning experience and he improves.

    I thought he was immune to the curse. I guess the curse gets everyone eventually.
