    House really f***ed up the coverage on McCollum’s game winning 3. He totally lost him and was still standing in the corner as McCollum curled around for the open shot. You can see Hornacek in the background slam the chair next to him afterwards.

    Tucker bricked and Airballed 2 3’s on passes from Wood at top of arc .... he’s useless outside of being in corners

    Let's wait more than 2 games and wait for the anxiety to come down before judging some the best role players in the league.

    Tuck did clamp Lillard to force OT. His is one of those streaky offensive guys but his forte is defense. I wonder how he would take a bench role since it seems he’s developed a little ego himself.

    House is just a guy. Give one of the young guys a shot to start in his place and see what happens.

    I’ve always liked those lineups with both vets and rooks mixed in it’s a yin and yang thing.

    House isn't a smart basketball player period. How do you leave your man who has scored 41 points for the man with the ball who has 2 players on him already. So what Dame hits a tough 2, you don't give CJ a 3. Yes he recovered to challenge but there is no way CJ should've been open to receive the pass. Make somebody else shoot besides Dame and CJ... Then James with the worst turnover ever and why is PJ going to the bucket instead of in the corner waiting on the pass to miss of course...

    House is trash. I was high on him for awhile, but all signs point to someone that got a payday and stopped caring. I definitely prefer EG coming off the bench though, so I would love to see House traded.

    Tucker is exhibit A for Moreyball. When he tries to do anything other than his defined role, it’s often a disaster. Love his heart but really concerned w him trying to play like he’s someone he’s not.
