    That might have been his best move soo far. The way Westbrook is playing if he played all 7 games we probably would have lost...

    Really hope he figures it out and if he’s gonna be a negative on offense he could at least put some more effort in on defense. He’s getting burned left and right.

    Guys this one isnt complicated

    house got smacked in game 2

    he most likely has concussion symptoms but was cleared by medical staff and is like

    nope yall are wrong i feel like **** still. Probably doesnt wanna mess up his value in off season With ugly concussion games.


    If he snuck a girl in he would be suspended and in quarantine. Simple. If someone died a source in the most random corner of twitter would shed light.

    Thats my bet. He disagrees with the medical staff and isnt playing due to personal reasons. Rockets would be turds if they threw him under the bus.

    teams just hunt mclemore so much, though. or he misses rotations. the second he's in he starts making defensive mistakes and teams start finding him on switches. same thing with gerald green in previous years. you can get away with 15-20 minutes for those guys in the regular season and just tell them to let the 3's fly. some teams don't have great offensive players and most teams aren't specifically scouting opponents to know to take advantage of green/bmc. i'm not saying it's impossible to get them minutes, but it's certainly difficult. the play where he was guarding lebron, had him shaded to drive right, which is where the help was, and then immediately gave up a drive to lebron's left was pretty bad. i know lebron beats lots of people but it's like ben just trashed the entire defensive philosophy the instant lebron even flinched a muscle.

    maybe his offense is worth more than his defensive mistakes when we have 4th quarters like we did, but it's a close call at the best of times.

    This coming from the guy that broke Butler was 100% signing with the Rockets. :rolleyes:

    I will wait for the official word about House and Chandler from the Rockets or NBA.

    You might be waiting a while. They don't seem very forthcoming with details.

    It's kind of suspicious that the insiders from the national media haven't said a peep about this. I know House isn't Harden or LeBron, but this is still a story that affects a close playoff series.

    Very fair but who would you play instead? Ben is a liability on D and DMC wrecks our 5 out offense

    Mess up his value? That’s simply not possible. House signed a three-year, $11.1 million contract with the Rockets before the season. He’s locked in to that deal for two more years.

    If House told team doctors he wasn’t feeling well (concussion symptoms, the flu, etc.), that is what would be listed on the injury report. For example, Robert Covington passed concussion testing protocol but he’s still listed as questionable with a headache.

    As crazy as the speculation about him bringing a girl into his room seems, the NBA nor teams are not allowed to mention that a player is undergoing mandatory COVID-19 testing because it’s a violation of HIPAA guidelines. The same thing is happening in MLB where some players are hitting the injured list for undisclosed reasons, yet everyone knows it’s because they tested positive or had a false positive for COVID.

    But if House had tested positive, wouldn't they have to lock down everyone on the Rockets' team? He was in contact with them just a day before he missed last night's game.

    I wonder if someone in House's family in the bubble tested positive and they can't mention it without permission because of HIPAA. Maybe Danuel himself tested negative but has to quarantine until the incubation period is over? (Total speculation on my part, but hey, it's not like the team is giving us anything.)

    Better be a good reason for House being out. Otherwise they're throwing away the season willingly.

    In hindsight, Thabo would have at least seen the floor and provided decent defense at the 5 unlike Luc and Demarre.
