    I know it’s easy to get after D House, he is kinda a jag off; but the defense has to find his replacement when considering moves or trades.

    House (20/21) On / Off.....team ORtg...................team DRtg...................................Net.........
    On....(131 mins).....................109.4.................................108.4............................................+1.......
    Off....(115 mins).....................112.6..................................120.5........................................ -7.9.......

    People don’t understand how he helps the team......not completely. Lakers series last year showed a
    little how House was missed.

    cont’d from post #41

    Unfortunately our strongest offensive weapon may be our weakest defensive link. Harden.

    I looked up Eric Gordon to compare with House. Eric scored well also:
    On: 114.0 team ORtg...........102.3 team DRtg
    Off: 109.2 team ORtg...........120.2 team DRtg

    Harden On / Off
    On: 116.9 team ORtg.............126.1 team DRtg
    Off: 101.0 team ORtg..............93.7 team DRtg

    Edited: Tucker is the other culprit. Very good team ORtg when on the court but stinking up the DRtg when
    on the court.

    I'm somewhat excited... I'm enjoying watching our new pieces and will enjoy as they get more comfortable and gel... but I just feel until the Harden trade happens we're just in a holding pattern.
    I dont like waiting for the other shoe to drop - and then going through another acclimation process for whoever comes in at that point...

    Until Harden gets traded - or the trade deadline passes and he's still here - it feels like preseason...

    If james stays this year and trys to be a facilitator i would be happy for him and houston. But if he really wants out the rockets should not hold back, and try to find a suitable trade for him asap. James Harden should atleast give it to the deadline to see if the team is worth hanging around.
