    He did the same thing on a Thunder game winner in the OKC playoff series too. Floating around in no man's land, ball watching, rather than covering the open three point shooter. In both cases, only a three beats you, so there is no reason for him to be trying to contest two point shots. He has one job in this situation: prevent an open three pointer. Maddening.

    Well, he still needs to think about who he is supposed to be covering on defense.

    We haven't seen all of the links yet. We've only seen half the chain play together so far.

    Though House has been pretty bad to start the season; we all know why he’s the starting 3 for now. He can do a little bit of everything but excels at nothing. Until we find a better option (likely Nwaba) he makes a little more sense as a traditional SF instead of Gordon

    If House isn't consistently shooting 40% from 3, he's a huge liability. Man to man defense is decent. Off-ball defense cost us vs Por. He commits a lot of TO's for a guy who is a catch and shoot guy. He proved to be unreliable in the bubble. If he wasn't from Houston, I'd dislike him even more.

    People are debating about House.

    I'm trying to figure out where the pun is.

    Many clamoring for Nwaba or Tate.

    But do not overlook what Brown is doing either.

    Yep. And the point is, we might have some other options this season if Danuel House doesn’t pull his head out of his ass.

    Silas needs to stop slobbering over House too.

    Right now Silas loves his ass.

    Tucker's the reason we even got to OT by shutting down Dame on the last play of the Blazers game. You guys don't know what washed is i see

    He has sucked, but it is only 2 games, that we were probably going to lose anyway.....let's let the entire roster show up before we make blanket statements.

    Him having one decent play does not make up for every other minute he's been on the court. He's no longer a starting caliber player.

    It was the GAME SAVING PLAY. If a player has to have a 50pt triple double every night just to get your attention, you're not watching the game right

    Let’s give him a few games surrounded by more playmakers like Wall and Cousins before we pass judgement.

    I've been down on house but your reason for hope makes sense. Hope you are right
