House is the opposite of what you usually see on most teams. He’s not great during regular season but when games get chippy and you need a bucket or a mix up on defensive switches he steps up. Don’t be surprised when you see him make an impact down the stretch or even in the playoffs. Harden wanted him for a reason.


This team is built for the playoffs, I can't say this enough for it to make sense

The last enjoyable Hornets game that I can think of was when Jimmy hit that game winner

Oh they have to spam this house resurgence for all it's worth, through the playoffs. A guy that can defend, shoot, and drive with size...
This will be needed for them in the postseason.

This team is looking like it has turned an important corner in the development of a championship identity. Dominate the teams you should dominate (Charlotte), and outwill and outmuscle the good teams that are ratcheting up their games to beat you (Cleveland on the road for example).

This team is finally starting to look like it expects from itself championship-level play night in night out. In previous years that expectation wasn't there because the team hadn't developed that identity. Consequently they were subject to wide variation in their performance. Dominate one day, look weak out outwilled the next.

An identity is nothing other than an expectation you have for your own behavior. This team is finally looking like it has a championship-level identity. No team is advancing deep into the playoffs without that.

Paul Reed played well and Deadmon has a good looking hook shot. Kork is just unprofessional. I get he does not play much, but when called on he looks totally unprepared and lackluster. I keep hearing about Springer taking Shakes minutes next season....on which planet? Springer is still a prospect with a way to go. i love the fact that House stays ready.
You want it to be one way....but it's the other way.

I never wanted Haliburton or Dejounte Murray in return.

He’s the most disrespected player in the league. He should be a top 5 in consideration for MVP, and should be a top 5-6 player this season. But the league treats him like he’s like Scott Skiles padding assists numbers.


I've felt the entire second half of the season that Harden is the closet MVP, if not in the league maybe on this team. A huge part of the Embiid surge has been the result of Harden's play, being consistently put in great position to get easy buckets. Embiid is the MVP, but Harden gets a huge virtual assist if it happens.

Yeah, the last games that he played he had zero effort and a bad atittude, very dissapointed with him.
