    If House is out of the game MDA needs to play DMC.. Man this stuff never lines up.. DHO was playing great and his defense on Lebron was good enough. smh..

    At this point, I'm waiting for someone to ask if we could sign D-Mo or Joe Chee for the rest of the playoffs.

    IF him sneaking someone in is true then what a selfish POS. No excuse for him. None. Right before game 3 against LeBron and the Lakers. Unreal.

    My guess: They convinced Avery Bradley to dress in drag and lure House into a trap.

    Now im pissed. If its true its a very stupid thing to do but we cant afford to have key players sit out for two or more playoff games for this. Give him a huge fine and move on!

    Not taking the time out to check his minutes, but IIRC B-Mac hasn't gotten more than 10 minutes in a game in a long time.

    That's not time enough to know if he can help, offensively at least. I'm mystified by his absence. I really thought that when House went out we'd see B-Mac get most of his minutes.

    MDA doesn't trust his defense, so he gets fewer minutes in the playoffs, when every game is crucial.

    Then when Benny Mac does finally get in, he's rusty and doesn't contribute on offense, either.

    I think this all happened on the day when he called himself one of the best two-way players in the league...I guess he meant...one of the best two-timing players in the league.

    The defense thing I totally get. But nobody is warm on offense from getting off 1-2 shots in 0-10 minutes. There have been times when we really could have used his sharpshooting.

    Sounds like someone in LA paid off House to throw this game.

    Yeah, it's very short-sighted on MDA's part.

    I typically trust him to do the right thing, especially in this system. I just have an unnatural love for reclamation projects and B-Mac has been such a Cinderella story all season long that I would have bet a lot that he'd be in the regular playoff rotation.

    When he wasn't vs. OKC, I thought, okay matchups. But then when he wasn't again vs. LAL, I thought what's going on?

    I like DMC a lot but I think he's way rustier and defenses could sag off of him from distance every single play. And Ben has the advantage of a very good 3-point shooting year. So I'd take him over DMC in these playoffs any day of the week.

    Also, unless there's a really good reason we don't know about yet, House just really sucks for this. We've never needed him more.

    MDA has done a number of short sighted things recently...... like playing Westbrook in a worthless bubble game to end the season.
