Eddie's past 4 games

I guess the media is picking up on the same idea about House's improved play.

It wouldn’t have been as easy for him to do, either, had he still been handling the primary backup point guard duties behind Rajon Rondo. But with Rondo and Gabe Pruitt bringing the ball up the court recently, House has been able to do what he does best — run defenses ragged and pepper opponents with a shot that comes out of his hands in an instant.

“Eddie’s a scorer,” said Rondo. “He can play the point, but he’s definitely a scorer. This allows him to be more aggressive offensively coming off the ball. He doesn’t have to bring the ball up the floor against pressure. Then he can roam freely and come off screens. I think it’s more his natural position to come off screens and knock them down.”

It’s a touchy thing for House. Shooting off the bench has become his forte, but his perceived inability to handle point-guard duties has made him a bit of an NBA nomad. Back for a second straight season with the C’s, House started the season running the point behind Rondo. He handled those responsibilities well, but he wasn’t as effective with his shot.

“You’ve got to run the team,” Rondo said of playing point guard. “That’s what Doc [Rivers] wants out there first as opposed to looking for your offense. [When House is playing point] he has to do a little bit of both with the second unit.”
