No way coach has time for stupid behavior. The chances for the title are on the line. If House out playes anyone he'll get minutes. Come on get real. We are talking about an opportunity that has escaped MDA, the Beard, CP3, Morey and all the rest of these pieces for years. Nobody dicking around with "I'll show you whose boss" If thats the way they wanted to play it they'd kept his ass at the House all season.
I have a hard time believing that Shumpert won’t be in the rotation He has more general experience than House He has more playoff experience He is still just 28 He is a better defender which is the skill set we need the most We gave up a first (and 11mil) for him Mostly, Morey targeted him for years.
It is the Rockets who are winning, both on the court and by bringing back House, Jr., in my opinion. It's about time. Welcome back, Junior, and try to pick up where you left off, OK?
I understand that Shumpert hasn't looked good over the small sample size but Gordon was absolutely terrible for a LONG stretch this season. I'm willing to give Shumpert the benefit of the doubt based on his previous track record.
Coach please play them all; everyone should have your trust. Paul, Harden -> 35 minuets Tucker, House, Capela, Gordon, Faried -> 30 minuets Nene (match-up -> 20 minuets) Spot minuets Rivers & Clark-> eat clock Shumpert-> defensive effort Green -> offensive energy Looks like a team with depth & Cutting back Tucker’s playing time and playing him on the wing should help him out a lot. Last move of the season: I think DM should turn Jones’s spot into a 3 point specialist for the end of the bench. Just in case we go dry again we have a back up to the backup plan. A G-leaguer / overseas player wanna jewelry shouldn’t be hard to find on the cheap, especially after their season is over.
why? shump has never been anywhere near as good as gordon. his career production is not much better than what we are seeing here. moreover people here keep talking about his defense but who have we seen him stop? he is too small to guard bigger players, which he will have to do often here. he already comes off the bench at the 3. that isnt his position. he seems like a good guy but this isnt the place for him.
Based on what I read here somewhere, Morey has been really high on Shump for a long time. There has to be something to the guy. He's supposed to be a good defender, and he does have the size to guard 1-3's. We can use someone like that in the playoffs, although it would be nice if he found his shot first. He's going to have to contend with House for minutes, in my opinion, and it'll be a trip to watch that play out. I think Gordon will get his. Rivers and Green have to be wondering where MDA is going to find their minutes. I guess it's a good problem to have.
Moreys recent record of guys he has been really high on tells us that something wrong must be with Shumpert. He also been high on MCW, Ennis and Melo this season alone
Ladies and Gents, now we are officially stacked! Competition for minutes is going to be stiff, I tell you! This team is ready now to kill teams with the first team and bury them with the second.
