    If we had all our players tonight .. I think we close with Wall/Harden/Tate/Wood/Cousins

    He’ll take PJ’s first, EG should start over House

    Tate played well, but my assumption would be Gordon as the closer in place of House or Tate

    Might get blasted for this but his mannerisms and swag remind me of a Draymond/PBev hybrid.

    Yeah, House was booty tonight. And he still gets caught asleep leaving 3 point shooters open. It’s maddening. I don’t know what he was doing wandering by himself in the corner while McCollum was curling for an elbow 3.

    I got a bit of a draymond vibe from him on a few plays. Was hounding melo in the first half on defense too

    Tate should be starting over House. Errrrrrbody on here talking about Tucker’s demands and I get it BUT let’s not overlook the fact House contributes little to nothing while getting starter’s minutes

    Houses basketball IQ has stayed the same since day one. Never know what you are going to get with him

    Until he can shoot 36% or higher on decent volume from 3, i dont see House's job being in jeopardy at all. I'm not convinced Tate and Nwaba can shoot.

    That’s fair, I hope they can be consistent shooters. If they do, House shouldn’t get PT

    We may not know if Tate or Nwaba can hit threes, but we know for sure House can’t.

    Tate's lateral quickness is insane and he hustles like Bev used to.

    House needs to go. He's been wildly inconsistent in the playoffs and he's been a headcase as well.

    Roosh on twitter just said Tate almost signed a 10 day with the Warriors before he signed with the Rockets. interesting.

    I'd like to see him upgraded too but the thing with House is that his contract is so cheap , it'll be hard to find a better player making similar money and the team is up against the apron as it is - that's why GG isn't currently with the team.

    To be able to upgrade that position , they have to shed salary elsewhere. That means either EG , Tucker or .... Harden being moved to free up space under the apron. The rest of the roster is playing for peanuts (aside from Wall and he's not going anywhere).

    Hopefully, much much, MUCH earlier than the All Star break.

    EG, Tucker and House need to be traded together by the deadline along with a first round pick. Throw in Bruno too as an add on.

    I expect our closing lineup (if everyone is fit ) will include Cousins & Gordon.

    Cousins
    Wood Tucker (Big rotation)

    Harden Gordon
    Wall (Guard rotation)

    House Tate Nwaba McLemore will fight for SF minutes.
    Tucker Harden will probably see minutes there too.
