    Ima stop u right there. I watch every game as im sure u do to. Ennis i dont care what the nber say he just doesnt pass the eye test. N yes ennis may shoot better. So did anderson. Reason i dont like ennis right now is because he doesnt shot the 3 enough. Our system u dont not shoot the 3. N on d my eye tells me ennis gambles to much. I feel he is brewer level defender. Brewer gambled alot. I rather u stay in ur assignment. Gambling tell me u cant play d. Harden gambles. U give big n u take big. Not gonna beat this point i prefer a guy thats constant disciplined.

    The other thing house can dribble n slash. Alot of our problem stem from guys not able to do anything without james feeding them. House can create his own shot. Thats important in the nba


    If ennis would stop gambling so much..rebound n take more 3s i would start him. Basically if he would just be ariza lol. Yes i know ariza gambled but lets not pretend ennis is as good defensive as ariza who streaks the better blance between gambling n discipline

    It was already established in his last game that ennis isnt starting again this season... its either going to be gordon or house the rest of the way.

    Yall are forgetting how good ennis is when hes on. Man looked like a viable ariza replacment in his best games. He should not lose any minutes

    With all due respect, your eyes basically don't work.

    Ennis 3.5 3pt FGattempts per game
    House 3.6

    For some reason, with your eye test, the fact that Ennis makes more is bad?

    Defensively, the eye test is generally confirmation bias. Run the numbers and get back to me. House has publicly said he is working on his defensive game this year so that he can play NBA - and good on him! But his numbers are (currently) way down there.

    I want to be clear, for me it isn't 'either/or' - it's 'both/and'. I like both guys and want them both to succeed, shoot well, play hard, and contribute to Rockets wins!!

    Seems like some around here treat Ennis like ESPN treats Harden... lol!

    7-1 since Ennis went down (2nd rated offense during last 10 games). Nuff said
    "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
    Integrate Rivers, get CP healthy and I think we got something.

    Im not saying house will out play him. Im saying so far his ceiling seems higher. House could always regress. But as a guy that loves to watch n play basketball i tend to want guys that can dribble pass n shot over like just a corner 3 specialist. Especially on a team were ur best player gets tored cause he has to dribble pass n shot so much cause others cant.

    N house is a small simple size. N fyi u kind of made my point. U see 3.5 attempts is not even close to as many as u need from that position in our system. Thanks for doing the research for me. Cause my take actually is for green to start ahead of both those guys for said 3 point attempts. Bet u greens is amost 3 times that.
    N i give house kimd of a pass cause he can penetrate which ennis can not. His only job on offense is to shoot 3s n he doesnt do that enough. Would u agree

    Not trying to be an ass but why is your grammar so bad? Why N instead of And?

    Ennis should have never been on the Rockets. I've been screaming since he's been signed to get him off this team.

    Ennis/House... both are not championship caliber starters.

    Ideally, we get a real starting SF.

    Man, Green in the starting line up though? We’d have to hide two guys on defense.

    Haha. Fair enough. Sorry, it was a combination of spelling/typing errors and grammar errors that made it slower to read. And yeah, guess I’m not used to the N instead of And thing.

    I like Clark but we won 7 of 8 games with this lineup. House is just more consistent and Clark is shooting like 20% from 3. For a sf/pf that is no bueno.

    Just going by the eye test here, but it looks to me like Green’s appreciably worse than House and Ennis. He also seems to mess up on rotations more often and commit unnecessary fouls. Haven’t researched or looked up stats tho so I could be wrong.

    Green is not a good player unless he is having a hot shooting game. He misses a lot of rotations... a lot. In the conference finals we were in desperate need of capable bodies, and he still wasn't playing much until Paul got hurt. Everybody likes him because he's a proud local boy, but he is an extremely flawed player. He was a street free agent for a reason.

    I do think House has done enough to be ahead of Ennis in the rotation, but Ennis would still be ahead of Green and Clark. Ideally we still need to find a better wing 3/d starter. Ennis is really good rotation player for 15-20 minutes.

    House, Ennis and possibly Rivers would have helped a lot in the conference finals last season. It would be nice to have more than a 6 man rotation. If we can somehow add a proper starter and Mr.Glass can keep his ass on the floor, I think we have a better roster than the one that faced Golden St.

    Green is an extremely low IQ player. But yes, when he's hot he's good. In the RS, we can get away with him for 15mpg. If he's hot, 20-25mpg. He's also one of our only actual athletes.

    Shooters are streaky. I know it was preseason, but his stroke was legit. He does rebound well too. We can afford to let him play 10-15mpg.
