    Better than MCW yes but not James Ennis. Ennis was atleast serviceable defensively.

    He is not good, but remember he's only playing because Eric Gordon is hurt.

    It's pretty baffling how bad of an open 3pt shooter he is. Didn't he shoot a higher percentage last year? Thabo too.

    Always seems to go this way..

    If you pair up WB and BMac then you have a really bad tandem in terms of IQ.

    Sucks for Ben Mac that he is in the same lineup as Russ so often. Imagine them having a night off, bricks after bricks.

    He would be playing even with Gordon not being hurt.

    He would still be part of the 8-9 man rotation after:

    Harden
    WB
    Clint
    House
    Tucker
    Gordon
    Rivers

    Of course he might be shooting himself out of it.

    But then again, we dont exactly have any options other than Clemons outplaying him and taking his minutes. But this was not the original plan.

    Ben sucks man. Whether Rockets win or lose. I get that he had a few decent games, but even in those games he showed an inability to hit a wide open bucket.

    There is absolutely no reason that Clemons can't take up his minutes. Regardless of Clemons size, he is a much much better defender.

    I remember people saying the same about Green when he'd have a bad game.

    I might give Clemons more time but we will see a slew of bad games from him once he gets a large chunk of it.

    I'm ready for it. I just see that he actually has the ability to hit a wide open shot and it makes me wonder why he isn't being used.
