EG wayyyyy better than House. But EG needs to anchor the second unit....he is going to have westbrook or Harden on the floor with him at all times anyways. Also, D house better come on with it..especially with the 3 ball and defense.
Not going to happen. Either Toronto trades him before he becomes a free agent, or they hold on to him for their playoff run. The Raptors are going to finish as a middle-of-the-pack playoff team in the Eastern Conference if they don’t sell off guys like Gasol or Ibaka.
Great article. I expect big things from House this year. I want to add that John Lucas is a real gem too and that he damn well deserves to be on a Rockets' mural...
if you watched danuel house play last year, this was a no brainer.. and still credit for MDA for realizing but last night with house shooting 4/5 3s and 8 rebounds, MDA should have played him more and harden should have passed to him more..
Enjoy the win, be just as grateful when House goes cold and Harden has to perform at historic levels to get the win. SMH at how often fans forget.
I've been most impressed with House's passing game this year. Clearly his confidence is up - he is able to make the pass to the baseline cutter or find the corner 3. So far he hasn't overplayed it
House has done well so far so far and I hope He continues to improve. Oh and Harden expects to always be the heroic!! He wouldn’t have it any other way. Hell! We expect him to perform at historic levels every night!! Nice if he can become consistent. Added bonus and much needed punch and I like Gordon but he is a chucker at times and misses the most open looks ever!!
yeah his our 2nd best defender also 3rd option he can hit the 3 and drive and pass MDA just should play him as many minutes as tucker
D. House is playing like the best bargain in the league, starter level play from a dude making just 3M a year. Def one of the team's bright spots alongside PJ Tucker's offensive resurgence and of course Brodie. Apart from Tucker I guess he is the only dude trying on Defense as well, tbh with how PJ, WB and House have been playing so far we might have been unbeaten if only EG and Harden hasnt been on the worst slumps of their careers.
I agree, looks like he got a steal! I didn't think he was gonna cut it, but it looks like he put a lot of work in and is better than last year both on defense and offense....his shot has a really quick release and he is playing good man defense and help defense.....I didnt' think he was quick enough to guard 1s or 2s, but he can at least stay with them laterally..... if he continues to play like this, I say play him 40 minutes a night along with tucker....he's got them young legs so we might as well use them... now if we can only find another danuel house this year....we need two more actually.
At only 3M a year he is pretty much untradable unless the Rockets get a superstar in return. He'll be here for the next 2 years at least.
