and yet he looks A LOT better than gordon right now. that guy somehow managed to get even worse over the break smh
Good thing D'Antoni has a plan B then. House is too inconsistent to get same benefit of doubt that a player of EGo's talent and production has earned. If he cannot find his game, we will know soon enough.
and i don't think either will get much postseason run b/c mac is a sieve on perimeter D and green offers little resistance in the paint. teams are going to attack those guys until pringles has to pull them out
house can stay in front of his man and defend adequately enough, just had playoff jitters on his first go-around, so there's still hope for him this time mac and manimal have been hopeless defensively their entire careers and green is simply not a paint presence defensively
Gordon NEEDS to start so he can up his value. Successful playing time is the only way to do it. Key word successful. Coach’s comment on House vs Gordon was political to try to up Gordon’s value, too. (Why else would he say that remember he has a relationship with a House, too). I hope Gordon can pull it together so the offseason can be successful in the the rebuilding around Westbrook & Harden. Also, if he finds himself I truly think we get a better than average shot at championship. (Rebounding will still be an issue)
But EGo has been better in the playoffs, much better. Your argument is either valid or it isnt, picking and choosing who it applies to only weakens your position.
Westbrook and Harden are the superstars of the Rockets, but players like Green and Gordon will determine if the Rockets advance in this year playoffs; both provide outside shooting and the ability for instant offense off the bench, something the Rockets sorely lacked for much of the season. https://clutchcitycontrolroom.com/2...-from-bursting/amp/?__twitter_impression=true
ego has been better in the playoffs making shots, but w/ respect to our discussion about defense he's been a decent defender both reg and post seasons
i don't disagree on that. house being a better defender than bmac is the point here. i see bmac getting abused in a series where opposing teams target our weaknesses to exploit
