Well, he’s 5-9 with 4 3’s in the last two games. Better than house was doing. That layup was a huge miss of course, but I think he obviously has MDA’s confidence more than House does
Our players finally realize that rebounding is crucial in the outcome of a game, especially against the Worriers. Need to keep the focused on the little things that helped us win the last 2 games and try to clean up some mixed ups. It's going to be tough, but we got to these lucky bastids.
So House is officially off punishment tomorrow? Hopefully they allow him to learn and play. With games being decided by slim margins you would like to think House could help somehow (yes I get it “ONLY IF HE REBOUNDS GRRR”) Having a guy who can go the rim on his own is invaluable against the Worriers.
So we lost the 2 games with House. Okay I can take that. Now win a championship this year with House on DNP or injury list. I’ll take the championship.
GG shoots stupid shots every game, not just the playoffs. He’s comfortable with those shots and that’s his game
Haha that’s true. Such a shame for someone to be so gifted athletically, and such a liability defensively.
House is playing too timid thats the problem. He's playing like he's afraid to make mistakes and hesitating, you can never do that against the Warriors. I don't blame him either, I remember the Warriors hunted for him to defend Durant 1v1, he looked like he was frozen, and Durant just shot over him. You have to play physical and jump for every ball no matter what, but it's a lot to ask for a g League player in his first post season to go against GSW. Shumpert has been there and done that, that's why he's on the floor, he's committing to something every possession, right or wrong he's not afraid.
I think I have a better chance of getting laid tonight with Megan Fox than House playing tomorrow. lol MDA is not going to mess with what has worked.
Like learning to swim in the deep end of the pool. Not sure House is ready. He balked under pressure in some of our last games. Would LOVE to see him come through though and get some confidence
Not sure house is worth the gamble this late in the series where all the games have been close. On one hand it would help to have one more contributor taking the load off the big 5, and if house can get over his jitters and play like he did in the reg season he can bring more than shump. However he’s a rookie out of the gleague which means it’s likely he can’t grt it together and in a close game a couple of preventable bad plays could end up costing us the game. Going to be interesting to see what happens. My guess is D’Antoni sticks with shumpert but if he is bad enough may decide to try house out for a bit.
Golden state has the same issue as us. They are essentially running a 7 man lineup and may remove Livingston if he continues to be ineffective. They may go deeper into their bench and start playing guys like jerebko, cook and bell just to rest their guys.
