    To be fair if he can hit the 3 to some level of trust he becomes a better 2 way bench option then faried green house.

    My concern is he will be able to hit shots at home in game 4 and back at gs I wouldn't trust the guy. If im choosing a road option i will take someone else besides shumpert and thats probably green. I can see the appeal but man i hope dude can hit shots. He becomes a huge negative vs faried house and green real quick. Its hard because really its a conversation of who do you trust out of those guys? House faried green shumpert? Hmm...

    Why? Because he came up big along with rivers and nene. All 3 of them deserved the minutes they got.

    He got lucky we're not going to see many 3/5 3`s from him. The guy is worse than green offensively and just a tad better on defence. Scrub worthy

    I honestly think D'antoni was grasping at whomever was going to contribute offensively off the bench. If Green was able to hit some shots he would have had more minutes then Shumpert.

    The only thing that we're missing is the consistency with our interior defense, the refs are pretty much giving calls to anyone wearing Yellow/white/blue. I'll give you that the refs finally started to swallow their whistles near the end of the last game and luck was with the Rockets on the last few possessions.

    doubt it. green is just so bad defensively, especially in this matchup.

    If green or house are off it’s worth giving him a try but given the season sample size don’t expect him to be any better

    Green is so terrible defensively I don’t get how anyone would think he’s a better option than Shumpert.

    Not sure if it's already been discussed, MDA indicated something was wrong with Daniel House healthwise in the post game 3 press conference. Does anyone know his health issues and are they short term?

    House has an inflamed toe that's why he was held out

    Yea I can tell by your screen name your in the wrong sport. Shump is getting PT because he plays solid defense & does the intangibles, period. House isn't playing because while he provides offense, his defense is suspect & his rebounding has been atrocious. If we win this series it'll come down to defense & winning the glass.

    Obviously he still doesn't fit our offence but he can still defend Curry and Klay to give them fits.

    Shump was killer defensively last night and hit some huge buckets

    Not sure why ppl are down on him. What did Green give us besides a goose egg?

    Shump and House will be key to wearing down the Worriers

    Green is a liability in this series. He’s not intense and smart enough to contribute. Shump can at least annoy Steph, Klay and sometimes KD.
