Where is House?

The thing is that it is Eddie House who has been known as a chucker throughout his career, but it turns out that he shoots less than Cassell! I also couldn't believe when he got the shotclock violation: The one time that he needs to shoot, he passes the ball!

That said he wasn't nearly as bad as he has been in the last few series, but I don't think he brings the same hustle or shooting range that Eddie brings. Eddie is still the best option at backup point guard. Cassell's successful postups on Fisher will be gone next game because they've already found a way to stop him by switching Kobe onto Cassell.

Glad you wrote that, you saved my hands the trouble of typing it. Now that we won that is hilarious, but I was absolutely screaming at my TV when that happened "Now you pass it! Idiot...." man is he frusterating to watch sometimes.

I'll admit I was loving him for most of the first half with his back down dominatin of Fisher, but yeah, the lakers won't let Cassell beat them...BRING IN EDDIE!

Please stop the insanity.....even when we win......the hate continues......sam made a clutch shot last night ..a couple....but you guys dwell on the negs.....just need to have your way no matter what even with a great win even thou Doc is not going to play Eddie until the match up calls for it.....we won guys...be happy.

ps......to answer the post.......on the bench.....until he can crack the rotation....

Dwell on the negatives? The guy was killing us out there in the second half. About the only good thing about Sam is that he is a decent one on one player. But that's just about all he does. It's not enough..

House will D guys up - spread the ball around, push the ball and hit open Js. Sam will come in and try to beat his guy one and one and score points. Kinda of like a poor's man Ricky Davis without the hops..

I'd rather see House. I don't care that he hasn't shot well in the playoffs because that sample size is too small. House is pretty clutch - I doubt that would change.

Agreed, I was pretty much screaming at the TV from the 10 minutes mark until Rondo came back in with around 6 minutes left. IMO, The end of the game wouldnt have been very close had Rondo come back in earlier.
