    Tilman failing to pay for comfy bench seating is a great failure.

    Morey having none of it - small sample size and data mining. Same argument he made to Lance Zierlein when they were arguing about Ryno's home and road splits. That one persisted long enough that I think Daryl's position was more about protecting his player's psyche ... this one really is a small sample size.

    This.

    Sub him off at the 6 minutes mark (or whenever it is that Westbrook takes his first rest), and make it a double change to bring on House and Ego.

    House is the starter you crazy mother lovers.

    If Ben can’t figure it out off the bench, then he is going to be replaced.

    All I know is that he isn’t scared to go into the woods with the wolves or something.

    Yep, can't sign him until March, and with the way China feels about the Rockets he would be a fool to sign here, and it would screw up his lucrative deals in China.

    It's not like his looks are any different coming off the bench. He gets wide open shots regardless. He needs to adjust.

    I'm fine with bringing House off the bench until Gordon is back. If Ben looks bad you just sub in House early, have House finish the game along with Austin or Clint.

    I'd rather 3 more Ben Mclemore than 1 RWestbrook. Rockets need shooters since teams are just forcing Harden to give up the ball.

    Ben played well tonight . Don’t get too high on him . He’s still a role player and with good nights will come bad (imo)

    If he can just be a 38 % three point shooter that’s all we need .

    When Eric comes back he will be in the same position as Clark and Hartenstein are now

    Bench Westbrook and start House and McLemore. That's our best rotation and making it our starting lineup would be pretty sick.

    Westbrook needs to rest from his injuries and he should not be playing heavy minutes anyways.

    I see no issue with this considering House hasn't been very good and Ben has been excellent as a starter.

    yeah maybe. lets see how long this lasts though. we could very well be looking at house back in the starting lineup by next month with the way the season has gone and the continued shuffling of different lineups
