Man, I think a lot of you House haters need to start watching him more and stop listening to "analysts and experts" always criticizing him for his defense and ball handling. While he may not be the most fundamental defensive player and has trouble keeping bigger players in front of him (Derek Fisher), he busts his balls out there on defense. How big was that hustle play in game 7 of the Cleveland series when he saved the ball to Posey? That was a tempo-changing play of that game! His intensity I think would be irreplaceable. He was also really key in the game 4 comeback. Typically off the bench, you want a high energy guy and House is just that. Perfect substitute for Rondo when other teams want to slack off of Rondo like Kobe did.
To those who concern over his ability to handle the pressure, I agree, he does. But Ray and Paul can both handle the ball and things worked out well when we did that! Remember: we won the championship!! Why mess with it??
